In the dog days of summertime , nothing assuage your thirst quite like an shabu - cold spyglass of lemonade . Especially when it ’s purchased from a cute child who keep insisting it ’s fresh - hug , despite the Country Time container sitting aright next to her . It ’s an American entrepreneurial custom for kids across America .
matter is , while that delicious Country Time has n’t commute , they just do n’t makekidslike they used to . And the Kid theydomake just are n’t as good at selling lemonade ( the beverage , not the award - winning multi - media concept album ) . Such is lifespan for these 10 variety - of - rotten businesskids . We slogged through their stingy offerings so you do n’t have to . We even dealt with Daisy . And as you probably recognise , Daisy is the right-down worst .
The kids who are way too old to be doing this
child : Cheryl and Toni - AnnLocation:44 Maple Blvd
They used to be such squeamish little girl ! Now they are slingin ' urine mixed with scandalmongering food coloring to schnorr up quarters for a God knows what sort of After School Special fodder . But , at least they are having playfulness , right-hand ?

The girl who put her stand in the middle of fucking nowhere
kidskin : Rachel P.Location : 23 Tumbleweed Dr
" If you build it , they will come , " does not apply to lemonade stand up in the middle of a desolate field – no matter how fully grown you make your font . On top of that , her mathematical product is too lemony , and definitely not worth the high risk of check mark chomp . Lyme diseaseis no joke . But Rachel ’s lemonade is .
Also , she forgot the flowers .

The kid who is actually not smart enough to even do this, bless his little heart
child : Dylan R.Street : 334 General George Patton Way
He spend the whole good afternoon grinningly sheepishly , while trying to number the money his Mom gave him to " start him off . " He keep call the quarters " metallic element Legos . " Poor small guy wire .
The girl with zero marketing skills
Name : Avery H.Location : 4445 Euphrates direction
Generic cups . ' fourscore pitcherful ( zero visibility ! ) . Rickety table that has literally been in every Grandma ’s house ever . And seriously ? She could n’t bounce for a marking ? This little girl has no future . She just has a nowadays .
Her lemonade is actually okay , though . It ’s a disgrace no one will ever drink it .

The kids who are almost definitely up to something weird
kid : Joseph H , Paul C , and Francine R.Location : 13 Sailor ’s Way
On my 18th birthday , my mother say me to remember two things : never go to layer tempestuous , and never live with free lemonade from a child in a basketball game jersey , aVillage of the Damnedreject , and a girl who looks like she is being held against her will .
I never needed it , until I met this tierce .

The girl who got high on her own supply
Thomas Kid : Sadie M.Location : 308 Negra Arroyo Lane
You play the citrus game , till it play you , playa .
The mom who made her clearly-too-young son a lemonade stand because she can’t stand how miserable she is in her own life and needs an escape
Kids : Oliver S. and Mrs. S.Location : Wisteria Ave
A single day ’s lemonade winnings will not pay for a life-time of inevitable therapy .
The kids who really don’t want to be here
tike : Shane , Maya , and Simone L.Location : 567 Lundy Rd
Mom said she need some alone time in the star sign this summertime . Mom take in sometimes – and her fresh booster " Uncle Ron " is n’t too great , either .
The kids who straight-up ghosted
Kyd : ? ? ? ? ? ? Location : Mystic River Ct
