Lemonade Stands, Guilt Trips & Fried Food Ambitions

Warm lemonade. Side-eye from a determined seven-year-old. And the crushing guilt that makes you question if you should turn the car around. We’ve all been there. In this episode, I dive into the hilarious history of lemonade stands — from the first documented one in 1873, run by a future Pulitzer Prize winner, to my totally serious pitch for replacing them with bacon-wrapped corn dogs, churros, and other deep-fried masterpieces. It’s a mix of nostalgia, comedy, and questionable business advice, with a sprinkle of fun facts that’ll make you look at that sidewalk stand a little differently. Whether you’re here for the laughs, the history, or the fried food dreams… this one’s worth the pull-over.
