Holly, Melinda, and I had the pleasure of running a lemonade stand this weekend. It was a volunteer deal at an annual neighborhood bohemian/hippie street fair thing, and the lemonade stand was to raise money for next year's festivities. The weather was in the 40s, so convincing passers-by that what they needed was a tall glass of cold lemonade was a bit of a challenge. We decided to resort to an age-old marketing tactic called "harrassing the consumer." As people strolled by, we yelled at them: "Fight the establishment! Buy lemonade!" Badgering the public. Ahhhhh.
"Lemonade! We swear it's not that cold!"
"Lemonade would go perfect with whatever the hell that is you're eating!"
"Republicans hate lemonade!"
