There is this little girl in my neighborhood who makes the absolute worst tasting lemonade I've ever had in my life, though she does give generous portions. I feel obligated to stop every time she makes eye contact, so I guess she knows a sucker when she sees one. LOL

Edit: a word (top to stop) And y’all are so nice!!! Thank you!

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.

We used to call this rocket fuel. Seven pounds of sugar to one lemon and just enough water to make it not look like syrup.

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.
