Why are cranberries upside down?

[Irving]

Anyone ever noticed that the label on cans of cranberries are always upside down? What's the deal?

I tried googling it, and came up with this:

I guess that could be the answer, but seems kind of weird. Are all the other spoons occupied by the time people get around to opening the cranberries? Want that perfect shape for your plate? Just pop them out like normal, no need to store them for weeks upside down to get them out in one piece right? Anyone know?

I only eat fresh cranberry sauce. SO much better than that canned cranberry jelly.

Damnit, now I want a Bobby sandwich, made by a sub shop on the east coast and in Las Vegas called Capriotti's.

If you've never had one, you take a long soft torpedo roll. Put mayo, shredded roast turkey, stuffing, and cranberry sauce on it. Try not to drool on yourself as you eat it...

I don't think I've ever bought canned cranberries...

You don't even need to buy them. I frown at them every time I see them as I walk down the isle.

I'd explain it to you but I wouldn't be able to understand it for you. So I'll pass on even making an attempt.

In other words: I don't know.

Disagree.

I can't stand the fresh stuff.

That gelatinous canned shape SCREAMS Thanksgiving to me.

I grew up thinking cranberries were canned shape. Didn't know what they really looked like 'til my mid teens.

The best way to "properly" get the cranberries out of the can, in one piece, is to open one side of the can and poke a hole in the other end. Then carefully blow the cranberries out onto the plate. Who cares about germs, it's family.

I best way to store them is on the side, that way there is a flat spot on the side so they don't role around on the plate.

One of the search results on Google was this very debate.

Allow me to rephrase.
