I challenge anyone to grow bacteria in a glass of lemonade.

They found fecal bacteria in Starbucks iced coffee, why not lemonade?

It has already been found in lemonade. The acidity of lemonade would protect against some bacteria, but some E. coli (from fecal matter) can get by. Contaminated water makes contaminated lemonade.

Disease Despite Low pH

Not all acidophilic and acid-tolerant bacteria are friendly to humans. Some well-known bacterial pathogens -- meaning organisms that can cause illness -- have some degree of tolerance to low pH. For example, some common pathogenic bacteria associated with food contamination can survive in pH below 4.6: Listeria monocytogenes, which causes a serious and sometimes deadly infection known as listeriosis; various Salmonella species, responsible for the flu-like illness Salmonellosis; and specific strains of Escherichia coli, commonly known as E. coli, which can cause various intestinal disorders.

New York outbreak of E coli poisoning affects 1000 and kills two

[excerpt]

New York State health commissioner Dr Antonia Novello went to the Washington County Fairgrounds on 9 September to see for herself the source of the outbreak. Runoff from cow manure after torrential rain was thought to have contaminated the well. Water consumption through products such as ice, snow cones, lemonade, and tap water seemed to be the most likely exposure route.

We don't put up with assholes around here.

Are you sure about that?     ; )

Libertarian Privilege - selling in front of Fox News without permits

The kids selling lemonade weren't libertarians or Fox News contributors, so the Nazis busted them.

If you want your kids to stay out of jail, raise them as libertarians!

Be careful or you'll get called a lemonade killjoy and an Enemy Of Children if you raise any public health issues or fair business regulation and competition issues.

I'd buy lemonade from a kid's stand. Anyone who uses a contaminated water source can make lemonade with fecal matter. A person could do it at home. The cops came buy and had some lemonade, and they all lived happily ever after.

You may as well bemoan the loss of duckbill haircuts, hula hoops, and drive-in movies.

These are all relics of the mid-twentieth century.

If you want a kid to get business experience, teach them how to use Xcode to produce apps to sell globally on Apple's app store. That is today's equivalent to a lemonade stand. And kids as young as 10 have made good money doing it.

These are all relics of the mid-twentieth century.

I hope they keep the bikini-clad, high school seniors car wash. My car gets so dirty, sometimes I have to go there two or three times in one day.

Lemonade stands are still kinda stupid.

Lemonade stands are awesome. My kids used to do that occasionally. They also sold some of my tomatoes from the garden.

Drive ins are still k00l. I've been this year.

Speakers built like small tanks. And the sound quality -- oh, my!

The ex and I used to go. Put some hot dogs in a thermos, make some popcorn, a six-pack of Bud, a blanket and we're off on a cheap date.

You are ancient. Speakers are gone and it comes across your radio. Get with the times.

Yeah, well, it's been a while.

A good time.
