🤔 Answer to Today’s Trivia Question

A: The idea for canned cranberry sauce started as a way to preserve the excess harvest of berries, so they were not wasted during their short growing season.

In 1912, Marcus Urann, a lawyer-turned-cranberry-growing entrepreneur, created a prototype canned cranberry sauce he called Ocean Spray.

By 1930, Marcus Urann and two other cranberry growers formed a co-op and started creating cranberry products.

Their first product was “Jellied Cranberry Sauce”. It became commercially available in 1941 and is still one of Ocean Spray's most popular products.
