    Also, weak stand game. Lemonade stands aren't what they used to be.

    Education is extremely important.

      Most lemons are imported. Tariffs have made the cost of homemade lemonade too high. 555

        Retailing is easier than manufacturing in this case.

            All lemons here imported. First choice are those from Mexico and Chile.

                  Our kids did a lemonade stand last year, will do one again this summer. Most sell for $1 or $2, which is stupid, we sold for 50 cents for lemonade or a cookie. They helped make the signs, and took care of the transactions, it was fun to watch them learn how to do it and also to appreciate the money afterwards so they could save it or buy a toy. A few folks gave a tip of $10 or $20 which was a thrill, probably both for the kids and the adult likely missing the days with their young kids.

                  $2 for a can of pop in that affluent neighborhood above is just plain dumb. It's not even on ice.
