#lemonade stands

[marlinspirkhall]

re the lemonade post: American lemonade is in fact made with a higher concentration of lemon/lemon flavoring, and is usually sweetened with non-sugar additives bc of the outcry about the obesity epidemic. unfortunately those sweeteners wreak havoc on metabolisms (usually causing weight gain) and they also sometimes have a weird taste to them (like stevia or xylitol)

Damn, I'm so sorry, America! /gen

In an age of artificial sweeteners, children's lemonade stands are the final bastion of resistance.

What happened to kids running lemonade stands??? Like, hello, who else am I supposed to buy lemonade from? A money-grubbing mega corporation? No. Give me your delicious juice, crotch goblins.

Summer 1940: Minneapolis Children Support War Relief

Lemonade stands and carnivals? These sound like typical summer activities for children. But for these Minneapolis children in 1940, it was a way to support War Relief efforts of the American Red Cross. The lemonade stand (top photo), situated at 19th and Sheridan Avenues N., earned $1.46 (about $25.18 in 2017 dollars) for war relief. The carnival, staged in the garage at 1606 W. 28th St. earned $6.00 (about $103.47 in 2017 dollars).

growing up is realizing that people didn’t stop at your lemonade stand because they were thirsty and then stopping at every lemonade stand you can see for the same reason 🍋
