Remember the lemonade stand 08/08/08

Growing up, I was always curious how kids thought they’d make any money selling “lemonade” for $0.10 or $0.25 a glass (typically a Dixie cup). It sounds about as refreshing and quenching as it was.

So instead, one summer I went to the store and bought real lemons and made “lemon shake-ups.” We bought more lemons then we needed to use as props to lure customers in. After squeezing the lemons, adding water and sugar, we would shake it all up and serve in a functional to-go cup. Bam: $5 a drink.

We killed it that summer.
