wtf happened to my juice
I like to keep juice in the fridge. This particular suspect was Ocean Spray Strawberry Cranberry Banana. I was not a big fan of it so I didn't drink it much. I opened it today after about 2 weeks of inactivity on its part. As I unscrewed the top, it hissed at me, much as a soda does when you open it. When I tasted it, it tasted carbonated. That juice was not carbonated when I bought it. The ingredients do not list carbonated water. I threw it out. Why did it taste carbonated?

As I've read, it very well could have began fermenting. The yeasts just begin eating on the sugar and growing out of control. Maybe you were making some booze! ;)
The little microbes just produce a gaseous emission (CO2) as they consume the sugars. They also may produce other chemicals (alcohol) that alter the flavor of the juice itself. Refrigeration slows this process down, but doesn't stop it from happening, of course.
If the expiration date wasn't out on it yet then you could ask for a refund if it's been stored properly (sealed; refrigerated). If it wasn't out of date then it very well could have been "contaminated" at the source.

It's just old. When it says "Drink before date printed above", they mean it. It turns carbonated. This happened to me last week also. Just try and drink the juice faster next time.
