1. First find a bog in New England, USA.
2.Surround it with a bank. 3. Then flood your bog.
|
|
|
4. Then take a water combine harvester and churn away. |
|
|
5. Let your cranberries float to the surface. They are less dense than water. |
|
|
6. Then gather them in with a boom. |
|
|
6. Then pump them out and pump the water back.
7. Take them to the factory where they are tested for bounce. The dud ones don't pass the ramp and hurdle test. |
