Did you know …
That cranberries are an effective antidote to pretty much every poison or venom? It’s true!
Many scholars believe that the reason cranberries were served at the first Thanksgiving was that everybody involved believed that everyone else intended on poisoning them. Indians thought that pilgrims wanted to poison them, pilgrims thought that indians wanted to poison them, the pilgrims thought that other pilgrims wanted to poison them, etc. What’s remarkable is that everyone seemed to be correct; there was so much poison at that first Thanksgiving dinner that, even centuries later, nothing will grow on that site. Thankfully, there were also a ton of cranberries there.
