Strange Brew by John Deering for July 31, 2021

Good luck with that kid.

There’s a sucker born every minute.

It’s called a price point, I think?

So why cups?

Sell it as locally sourced, artisanal lemonade and you might have something.

Just convince people that there is a shortage, kid. You’ll sell out in less than a minute.

The oldest joke in the biz.

Can I ask…how many lemons went into making that one glass?

How to become a millionaire:

1. Get a job that pays a million dollars a day.

2. Quit after one day.

Smart kid REYREY

True. Odds are pretty slim though that a man dying of thirst will be a customer…..

Reminds me of some artists I know. They ask high prices for their art, using that same logic (then I only have to sell one). They never sell anything – they’re not good enough nor famous enough to command the prices they fancy…

So the glass costs $50? If you bring your own is the lemonade free?

Location, location, location. Beverly hills.

Well that’s ONE business strategy! You need to work on the snob/sanctimony angle, like selling a Tesla.

Tell ’m the lemons are cruelty free, organic, free range, unionized pickers, pesticide free, low carbon emitting, and ozone free.

Hey, it could happen.

This brings to mind a mural in a San Francisco Italian restaurant back in the day. The owner loved baseball AND Dante. So in heaven are the pitchers and other players, and in hell are the umpires. A sign down there says Drink Coca-Cola: $50.00 a bottle. (It was in Italian: Bevete Coca-Cola: $50.00 per bottiglia). Today it would be ten times that.

$50 for one glass? Fine, I’ll have the Second glass! :>)

Ahh, the ‘Apple’ marketing model.
