Did you ever have a lemonade stand when you where a kid?

We had three lemon trees in the front yard, so my expenses were pretty low.

One time a cop came by and tried to get free lemonade by claiming that I was supposed to have a permit. I didn't understand at the time what an educational experience this was.

Of course!

I also played the "lemonade stand" game on a apple computer when I was a kid.

Yes, but my younger brothers and cousins years later was better. It had mettalic contact paper. They set it up at the strand in hermosa beach,ca,us during the summer. I had to explain profit & loss to them.

Phi: Oh crap, that was harsh, though humorous. Where was that? Was he serious to any degree?

We had a kool aid stand or two... I don't think anyone bought any except for us.

No. I tried selling clay though.

I have made some kick-ass lemonade in my day, I must say. We lived on a corner in a residential neighborhood--prime lemonade stand real estate. Plus the aforementioned trees, which in California bear fruit year-round. I remember once this big, bad-ass, hairy, Harley-riding guy stopped for some and loved it--I think he bought a few cups of it.

No, that's really American.

Once. I only had one "customer".

My best friends and I did it a couple of times. I think we actually made around 5 dollars. And it wasn't from our parents.

Lauren: Your response has taught me to always read the survey question before I read the responses and draw the wrong conclusion.

Yes, that was covered in another survey wasn't it.

ILJ - *Chortle!*

this is a really cool survey, by the way. My favorite to come by in a long time.

Oops
*laughing*

Bill: I used to that game! They had it on the computers at Sesame Place, and I'd play it for as long as my tokens held out.

Hey look, you can play it online at <http://www.littlejason.com/lemonade/>!

Yes, I did have a lemonade stand. My grandchildren now have a lemonade stand. I, also, when I was a kid wanted to sell mud pies (I was really young). There was a sweet little old lady that told me, I should be selling a real pie and not a mud pie. So she made me a couple real pies (tart size). I thanked her and I sold them. But, that generally ended my selling pies. I have a granddaughter that is my little entrepreneur. She wants to make and sell things. I think it is so cute. I have several grandchildren and they are all so intelligent and industrious. I'm so proud of all of them. The lemonade stand is a good thing.

Did anyone see the where/were error on this survey?

I think you did, anon#1!

Yes I did, but I couldn't think of any meaningful jokes to work around it.

I think it might have been a koolaid stand. I don't remember.

I had a vegetable stand.

I used to sell dandelion seeds I'd picked and stapled into paper pouches I'd coloured a dandelion onto the front of and sell them in school. I doubt that counts though...

Not as a kid, no.

Yeah more than once!
I did it on the day of a Labor Day parade and made over 100 bucks

BlueberryMuffin: I like your name. Selling dandelion seeds, a good idea. Dandelion, very healthy.

Thanks Jeanne!

No one in NZ really did.
