I am going to make Chili today so I was Pantry diving looking for pinto beans and kidney beans and ......a gallon of Cranberry juice ???? where did that come from?

I grab the container... hum... could there be black beans in there? no noise. Can this really be Cranberry juice? ok, I take it to the kitchen. Not looking good.. I think it is Cranberry Juice, no open seal. Looks black! oh shoot! the date says sell by 11/03. It is SIX years old.

I open it... I hear a vacuum... I smell it, smells ok. I look down into it and it is black as black, hold it up to the light it is black! but it smells good. I grab a glass, pour a little in and put it up to my lips.. bravely I tip the glass... sip.

Not bad! put ice in glass and pour more into it. I am sitting here sipping on OceanSpray Cranberry Juice from Costco dated sell by 11/03.
