We all enjoy a nice glass of lemonade from time to time. It's delicious. And some might argue refreshing. I'm willing to concede the former, and the latter as well, but I take issue with one egregious claim that is bantered about recklessly, and without attention to the associated hazards, which are significant: that lemonade quenches a parched palate. Exhibit A is the experience of a lemon:
This expression belies genuine distress. We have all shared in it at least once. Yet questions are raised. Do we know it exactly as she does? Do we taste what she tastes? Is she thinking about work? Why is she naked? When does she sleep? Mercifully, there is one issue made thoroughly clear: this is an exceptionally thirsty woman dissatisfied with her chosen beverage.
Now let's consider sugar, which is frequently added to lemonade. Recent research conducted by the irreproachable Aicha indicates that sugar actually dehydrates, rather than quenches the body. What's more, it may result in swollen lips and nosebleeds, particularly in the summer, which by sinister coincidence is when you're most likely to enjoy a nice glass of lemonade: http://www.blurtit.com/q491038.html
It's sweet, but when you really think about it, you are bleeding from your nose, potentially, much of the time.
So let's add up the data. Lemonade, made exclusively from the experience of a lemon, with disfiguring sugar added to it, is supposed to quench the thirst of undressed people. This is preposterous. I do NOT believe it to be DaTruffe, and I refuse to entertain evidence to the contrary.
