Give the munchkins some pocket change, and you get some highly concentrated sugarwater that will either give you the energy to conquer your day or just die in a manic sugar-induced craze.
Sure, it's a gamble, but it's fair trade. The kids get to buy their Yu-Gi-Oh cards or whatever, and you get the combined feeling of an artery-crushing sugar rush as well as the feeling of getting fleeced by a gang of rambunctious youths.
The beauty of it is that you don’t have to taste it til after you turn around, which gives you cover for any potential faces. And you’re already walking away, so you don’t have to drink any more of it
Lmao, there’s a family a block from my house with kids that set up a lemonade stand on the corner the last 2 summers on random days, I’ve given them a few dollars
There's a little girl in one town I used to live in who sells cocoa by the park in winter. BRILLIANT. summer brings lemonade. She's living in an apartment next to the park so she's got that prime location locked down and everything.
She only charges 50c but I figure in today's market what she's selling is worth like 2 bucks so I throw her a fiver when I see her.
That's what we called the Country Time Lemonade powder. Stuff that into a glass bottle, set it in a campfire, hide behind a tree and watch the fireworks. Great stuff, made the campsite smell like burning sugar.
Somehow we made it through that phase unscathed. Dangerously stupid? Absolutely. Dangerously fun? You betcha.
