Where can I get new windshield wipers and have them installed?
AutoZone wouldn't install them
Quite simple to install yourself.
Just watch a Youtube video.

Probably close to a year. There were signs put up claiming it was a distraction. Now every few days you have signs and magnets being plastered on cars in the parking lot instead.

It's very simple to install yourself, but... the last time I did it I mistakenly let go too abruptly and it made a crack in my windshield. Make sure to be very gentle.

Anyone else experiencing this issues? Kedem grape juice used to be a nice bright purple color, but now it’s a full off purple brownish color. This happened when buying at different stores.

Usually that happens when the grape juice is starting to go (i.e. turning) or if it's viewed in a very yellow light. If you bought them do they they taste normal or a drop vinegary?

I think they taste a little off. But this happened in 2 separate stores… so don’t know if this is a broader issue than just those stores or not. Maybe it’s the new taste and look or something…. Anyone recently bought and had the same nice bright purple color?

I've seen this many times with cases that were not finished before they went bad, it sometimes happens before the expiration date if it's stored in a hot place.

Are they nearing the expiration date?
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

Not at all. One of the stores that I bought in is very large and has a fast turnaround on their products. From that store I bought 2 different bottles of kedem and they both had this issue. I also bought a haddar grape juice from that store and had the same issue as well.

As @yungermanchik said, it may have been stored in the heat.

Here in EY we had a period of around nine months some years back when all the imported GJ had this issue.
I don't remember, exactly, but they said something about the harvest (and also that they kept all the good stuff for the US, such as it was).
It tasted a bit different but didn't make anyone sick.
