Lemonade discussion (please respond to poll)

Is it dumber than the chili bean argument?

Better and worse.

Better because I'm in the right in it, worse because people won't admit it!

You know what a Torch is?

 

[OccamsToothbrush]

You know what a Torch is?

Yes, and I know what a bonnet is too.

 

[WelshBloke]

Yes, and I know what a bonnet is too.

It's like a bad D&D character "I pull my hood up and light my torch".

So how does that saying go over in Australia? "When life gives you lemons, make... Sprite."?

Chick-fil-A has good fresh lemonade. I get it almost every day.

With a side of Fire and Brimstone and a twist of discrimination.

We're in for a forty page thread now. Way to go, asshole.

 

[Captante]

I heard on This Old House that there are some lemons you can make lemonade with without sugar

So ... sweet lemons??

Do they neglect to serve homosexual customers?

Do they neglect to serve homosexual customers?

They don't neglect, that would imply apathy or carelessness. You have to take a stand and make it an outright refusal with a heaping helping of scorn.

Oh yes. I recall them doing that. Outright scornful refusal to serve homosexual customers, even though their bible tells them to love "sinners" as biblical Jesus did.

Change your vote. You can select both.

Max selections are 3, so Australians or Europeans might select 1+2+3

I don't typically get lemonade cause it's usually too sweet, but I'd be angry if I ordered one and got a sprite.

I'd burn their whole f'in' country down.

Too late...

I've had some tasty soda-based lemonade flavors. However, if I went to a restaurant and ordered lemonade, I would expect water, lemon juice, sugar, and nothing else.

 

[BudAshes]

When I used to work at a movie theater as a teenager our lemonade was always water, lemon juice concentrate, ice and urine. Definitely no carbonation.

 

[Ichinisan]

See that would be a cordial, squash or juice here depends on the drink.
"...and a 'NON-CARBONATED artificial drink that tries to copy the flavor of blackcurrant' for the kid" is a bit of a mouthful when I'm getting my daughter a blackcurrent squash at the pub!

...but "-ade" is not such a mouth full. Too bad Europe and Australia have ruined the meaning.

 

[Ichinisan]

Wait till we start the biscuit argument!

At least both kinds of treats are common in UK and USA.

To hear that you can't get lemonade in a typical Aussie restaurant is just...depressing.

 

[Ichinisan]

Yes. There are lots of citrus flavored sodas. We typically wouldn't call those "lemonade" because we all know that lemonade is a juice drink, not a carbonated soft drink.

 

[Greenman]

I wonder if they call hot chocolate coffee?

 

[Ichinisan]

When I used to work at a movie theater as a teenager our lemonade was always water, lemon juice concentrate, ice and urine. Definitely no carbonation.

How do you make sure the urine doesn't introduce too much variability in the flavor?

 

[Ken g6]

So ... sweet lemons??

That's what they claimed they were. Giant, sweet lemons. They tasted lemonade made from just those lemons and water, and they seemed to like it.

I think it was these, but I'm not sure:
