No lemonade!

Yesterday in ORD main RCC:

"Bartender, an orange juice and lemonade please!"

"Errr, sorry we've had no lemonade since the summer, we don't have lemonade any more."

I can understand the pressure to reduce costs, but there are few drinks cheaper than lemonade. At this rate, I expect by next summer the RCC bars will only serve tap water!

Try this:

Have the bartender mix 3 parts sprite or 7 up (7 up is better, but I bet the RCC doesn't have it) with 1 part sour mix (god only knows if the RCC has this). It's an improvised version of lemonade. Not the best, but it's kinda perky with OJ.

Or just raid the bartender's stash of sliced lemons....squeeze each little slice individually into a plastic cup, add sugar and club soda...then add oj.

You want lemonade? Gotta work for it!

I'm not sure they's have Sprite either as that's a Coke product!

Have him wash his hands and take some lemons and squeeze them into some water, ad a little sugar and stir.
