      You might be joking, but seriously. Fresh made lemonade has ridiculous profit margins, and people can’t get enough of the stuff when it’s hot. When I ran a bratwurst/hotdog and lemonade stand, we routinely made triple in the lemonade sales that we did on the sales of the brats/dogs and sides that we had.

      • Only joking in-so-far as an adult legally running a lemonade stand is gonna cost more than just making the stand and the lemonade. Hella places literally have shut kids down because they didn’t have a liscense to sell food.

          Oh yeah. Those licences can run up to $10,000 per season depending on the location. You’ll make that back easily though. The food licences only cost a couple grand a year. You’ll make it back in a good location in one weekend though. It cost us $0.30/$0…35 for materials and labor to make either a regular or a large, ($3.50/$5) and because we sliced the lemon in front of you, and had simple syrup premade, we literally couldn’t make them fast enough most afternoons.
