    Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager. Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons. Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons. I'm going to to get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!

    The juicer also looks like a microscope and this made me very confused at first.

      This is also a good illustration of the experience of working in a microbio lab

        Yeah I have always thought that job looks mind numbing as hell.

          On the one hand, at least you aren't just looking at a computer all day, but, on the other, it is because you are giving yourself carpal tunnel syndrome from pipetting and/or staring into a microscope. Big props to the people who do it (it is frequently important work!) but I eventually even got tired of listening to podcasts and audiobooks.

            Oh actually if you can listen to things while doing it then it's actually not so bad. I could get a lot of learning done.

    It's implied that you can just keep producing the sweetener, from nowhere.
    It don't work like that.

    I wish I didn’t immediately understand this on a visceral level

    Coincidentally, I drank a whiskey sour last night relaxing and celebrating after getting a whole load done, then realized it's only a day more before the new slew of deadlines.

    Accurate. Also reminds me of a Boondocks episode that tackled the same thing.
