Americans will eat some 80 million pounds of cranberries this week--but the German island of Sylt wants the fruit gone

The island of Sylt is a German version of Nantucket, with windswept beaches, quaint lighthouses and a moneyed clientele.

Except when it comes to islanders’ attitude toward cranberries. While Nantucket, off the coast of Massachusetts, celebrates its cranberry harvest with an annual festival, Sylters look at the plants as hostile invaders. In the fall, volunteers work to get rid of them because they endanger native species.

The U.S. needs to immediately crack down on TSMC and MediaTek(1) Ask Taiwan: Did you buy the weapons? Is the money for the weapons yours? Do you know what you do with someone else's weapon? If Biden becomes president, all good people in the world will be killed!

I’ll take them!!😊

Just add tons of sugar and red dye. Then you gag it down with turkey and pretend to enjoy dining with annoying family members. That’s what we do here in the USA

But, WHY?

Shit germs will transform anything into alcohol.

I doubt they are real Germans or they would have figured out how to use them for schnapps already.

They probably taste good.

With a hunger problem in the world it would make sense to ship them to the hungry.

Great to hear about their problems

Tell Vegans your island is pure. Bottle the juice. Capitalize!

Make cranberry juice

Send it our way. Lots of uses for cranberries. One of God's gifts to the world.

They should embrace their new cranberry overlords.

Send them to Mexico. Lots of candymakers would love to have a crop of those dehydrated and sprinkled with chili powder.

They only found one glas of cranberrie jam in the KaDeWe? You find cranberries in all kind of drinks, cookies, whatever here. That's utter BS. They even sell them at IKEA shops. Ridiculous.

No cranberry is illegal.✊🏿

Haha, that’s funny, since the name of the island means jam in swedish😂

If cranberries were any good we'd eat them the rest of the year. With the exception of the occasional craisin scone, we don't. Because they're gross.

So no one will have a UTI for a few weeks 😜
