Lemon-aid

by Top Chef

Wanna make some extra cash this summer?

Why not set up a lemonade stand? My friend did one in the Hamptons in which the proceeds went to a charity organization and she raised over five hundred dollars in a day. Ok, so you’re thirty years old and she’s ten, but you could hire some kids for the cute factor or bust out your Daisy Dukes.

I was at a street fair this summer and the first thing I bought was a lemon shake up. When I saw the guy make it I thought, “That’s so simple”. Put ice in a cup, add a quarter cup sugar, squeeze half a lemon on top, fill the cup up with water and shake. Then when I saw myself pay five dollars for it I thought, “That’s a really high mark up.” I walked around the fair sucking on my lemonade with a straw like a baby on a pacifier. I was so in love with it, I went back for another one.

So, next time you want to raise money, forget about a car wash or garage sale. Go somewhere with a lot of people who are really hot and sell them lemonade. I guarentee you’ll make some serious cash and they’ll love you for it!
