I snatched it off the shelf, shoved the can in David's face (I'm severely nearsighted even with corrective lenses, so I assume everyone is the same way.) and demanded he tell me what the hell it is. David told me that it's cabbage juice. He continued to gently explain that "sauerkraut" is cooked cabbage. Makes perfect sense that I wouldn't know what kraut juice is because I hate sauerkraut or cabbage and if I have any German blood it's waaaay diluted with all the Mexican. Then I took a quick look around the beverage aisle and whispered, "Well, okay, but doesn't 'kraut juice' sound like a racial slur?" David replied, "I know that you know that 'kraut' was used as a derogatory term for Germans." Of course, I know that fact but it doesn't really explain what this can of cabbage juice is doing in the beverage aisle.
Later that day I asked Wikipedia about kraut juice. Basically, kraut juice is just the drink needed the morning after a Jäger binge. Kraut juice has all kinds of medicinal qualities and is carried in Midwestern grocery stores for the German immigrants who settled here. David didn't know all that but Wikipedia did. I love Wikipedia because just like David it answers all of my questions. But David likes sauerkraut...we have a conundrum.

You can Google it just like I did! This is not a place of learning. Go get your info from a more credible source like some user-edited content site.
