THANK YOU, Buzzfeed...

yeah, okay, this:

14. Lavender-Thyme Lemonade (Add Gin)

Salt! I will live and die by salty lemonade.

do you guys have any tips on getting information?

so there's this kid -- maybe 10 or 11? -- who has been setting up a lemonade stand directly in front of our house regularly, and it kind of irks me. shouldn't she be doing it in front of her own house? what if my kid wanted to have a lemonade stand? that would be awkward. it's kind of a "hot" corner in the neighborhood, so she's totally cleaning up. should i demand a cut of her earnings?

I'm surprised by this. I don't think I've ever seen a neighbourhood lemonade stand. My sister and I tried to set one up when we were kids because we saw them in comics and cartoons. We sold absolutely nothing (and, no, we weren't selling the salty stuff). I figured it was because lemonade can be bought or made so cheaply and have always looked back on this as my first real lesson in economics. But apparently, more enterprising children are actually succeeding with this model these days??

I've seen small lemonade stands in my current neighborhood. Never ever saw anyone trying to run one when I was growing up.

i feel like they only exist in upper-middle class neighborhoods as a quaint attempt to teach kids about the value of hard work that they will not have to do irl.

the true lil hustlers are out selling sealed m&ms for fictional sports teams.

We are pretty much lower-to-middle middle class.

i love how the temptation to listen to that Beyonce/Jack White song is remedied by the title: DON'T HURT YOURSELF.

STILL TEMPTED THOUGH. in a masochistic way....

just do it, scott. it's pretty good!

(totally over-generalized and projected my own class anxieties onto the lemonade stand thing; been doing that SO MUCH lately.)

i didn't even know that janet put out an album last year. that is so sad! black rock pioneer janet jackson! sorry, JJ...

culture shock upon moving to canada from Scotland: lemonade here is not carbonated

I had no idea a half lemonade/half iced tea was called an Arnold Palmer until this year. Honest Tea makes that and it's really, really good

Just picked some up to have with lunch, inspired by this thread.

Lemonade is carbonated in the UK? So every lemonade is basically lemony Sprite?

scott, the Janet album is excellent.

i wanna hear it. i love janet.

is everyone's favorite "rock" song by a huge non-rock pop star "black cat"?

i'd like a show of hands.

michael had some ragers obviously.

Is Prince non-rock?

I mean, I consider him rock but people seemed to think I was crazy when I argued that before.

Is this shandy thing any good? What beer would you use for that? A citrus-y wheat beer? A mild lager?

is everyone's favorite "rock" song by a huge non-rock pop star "black cat"?

"Black Cat" is up there, but mine is probably something by Pink. Her third album was mostly co-written by the main dude from Rancid.

Oh man, Pink's rock stuff really rubs me the wrong way.

"So What" = most grating song of that year

Try This was pink's best album don't @ me

^^^ x 1000

prince made way too much rock to be called a non-rocker. he was definitely a rock star. and a pop star. and the king of r&b.

i always had a soft spot for the rocking tracks on pop records. the more Slash-like guitar solos the better. cuz i'm a rock fan....

what's the most rock madonna song?

i might like "free your mind" as much as "black cat".

Reminds me of my sadly unloved When Soft Rockers Rock Out thread.

I've always been a big fan of Janet's 'If.'

Any street drink I've bought has been kids pouring from a 5-gallon jug of Kirkland lemonade into a Dixie thimble.

i wish jermaine had made a few fusion records. he would have made good ones.

yes.

shandy is good, refreshing, use as cheap a lager as you like, cheaper the better really. also nice is a lager tops, essentially a shandy but with only a small amount of lemonade on the top, very high beer to lemonade ratio.

Is a radler different from a shandy or is it just rebranding?

as far as tart and beer goes i mostly get that from the excellent sour red belgians on the market. god i love that stuff. americans can have ALL the headbusting IPAs they want. just lemme have my belgians and germans. a lemon wedge in a nice german wheat beer is a fine way to say hello to summer. (you can quote me on that)

xp. radler is like a half and half sparkling lemonade and lager iirc. whereas shandy, if you order it in a british pub, would probably have more beer than lemonade - though i don't think there is an established ratio.

wow, that "gon' b alright" song from janet's 2015 album is some serious late 80's/early 90's retrodelica. like instead of jack white she got the soup dragons or primal scream to write a song with her.

a local brewery around here makes an orange shandy that hits the spot

scott seward really sewarding out of control itt

I thought a radler was brewed with lemon, whereas a shandy was lager mixed with lemonade? But it's hard to tell now, since you can buy thirty different readymade shandies/radlers in stores once the summer seasonals start coming out.

radlers should be really gross but i gotta say i kinda like them, anytime i've been in berlin and it's roasting, a 50 cent radler hits the spot. i also like the word "radler".

i think radler is lemonade but i dunno. there are more craft type radlers around now i guess but i just had like commercial german lager versions.

Just want you guys to know I did not click this headline to see what it was about.

BTW, we have a bunch of Pellegrino limonata leftover from a party, and I've been mixing it with vodka over ice. Good drink!

Remix album: Limoncello

Narrated by actor Dennis Hopper, the documentary featured footage from the Pop recording sessions, as well as live footage from the opening PopMart show in Whitney, which took place the night before.The program received poor reception, ranking at 101 out of 107 programs aired that week, according to Nielsen ratings, and became the lowest rated non-political documentary in the history of the ABC network.
