The first batch of pink lemonade got its color from being mixed with water that a circus performer's red tights were soaking in! When glass breaks, the cracks spread at speeds up to 3000 miles per hour. Cincinnati Reds pitcher Johnny Vander Meer is the only MLB pitcher to throw consecutive and no hitters, accomplished in 1938.

I think there’s some confusion between pink and yellow lemonade going on here.

I heard it was a red horse blanket.

The coloring ingredient I’ve found on pink lemonade packages at the store is often grape juice – just the slightest amount obviously, not enough to influence the taste (and probably cheaper, for some reason, than artificial coloring). Anybody make homemade pink lemonade and want to tell us how it’s done?

Pink lemonade color varies from just a smidgen of added cinnamon, raspberry, strawberry, grape, or most often cranberry juice. Red dye is common as well. The choice depends on the maker. Hopefully, none use water from cleaning red or pink tights, yucch.

I’m surprised no one has commented about a pitcher in the minor leagues, or college, or Negro leagues pitching two no-hitters. Where are the baseball fans?

People forget about the “Or Not” in Ripley’s Believe It Or Not. A significant part of this info is bogus.

I’m more interested in the glass crack speed. Why does that happen?

you didn’t say who he was pitching against. It was probably the NY Knights who were on the take to loose. This was before Robert Redford showed up.
