Lemonade is for kids...

[Neil looks delighted when he settles in front of the screen. In front of him on the table, immediately in front of the device, is a row of lemons. They looks like... lemons, only with faces carved into the peel. They're not bad, considering the sculpter, but... why not lemonade?]

So! I decided that the lemonade market was probably sour with stands trying to hawk homemade crap and trying a different approach was needed.

[He taps each little lemon-face-thing on the head - obviously very proud of his labours - as he says:]

Each of these guys is an original, Neil McCormick special. Anyone interested in owning one?

They're very cute, Neil!

Thanks, Rain.

[He points to one of them.]

This is you.

[The resemblance is... It is a lemon, folks.]

[She giggled.]

What makes it me?

[He turns it around and points to the squiggles down the back.]

That's your hair.

[More giggling.]

My, my hair is very yellow these days!

I was thinking more about the length...

Oh. Well, yes, it does have lovely long hair, doesn't it?

Are you going to paint them?

I dunno. Do you think I should?

You could sell them as lemon pets, I suppose. Or miniature pieces of art.

I think they might be more 'lemon art' than 'lemon pet'. I mean, they don't do anything, like fetch the paper or chew on your finger or... anything...

Neither do pet rocks.

Yeah, but who has a pet rock? Really? Or who admits that they have one of those things?

Didn't take you for an artist.

Neither did I, but all these lemons just kinda appeared and I had to do something with them.

There are worse choices. I would have rather had bananas, though. Bananas are good.

I like bananas. Put them on my cereal for breakfast.

They're certainly something.

They are, aren't they? And they're unique!

Any luck selling them?

No takers yet, but I had to do something with all these lemons and lemonade just seemed too easy...

It's certainly one of the more creative uses I've seen.

What are other people doing?

It's a shame they won't keep too well.

Maybe if you stick them in the fridge?
