    Real men only drink the meat juice they spoon out of the bottom of the pack of raw hamburger because they think it's blood.

    Real men are also 32% intestinal parasite by volume, as nature intended.

    Isn't having your wife bring you a glass of lemonade after you mow the lawn a classic RETVRN fantasy?

      I was writing an essay about the difference between Andrew Tate, female dating strategy, and the RETVRN types, but I started to think about how all of them have a bunch of prescriptions for what men consoom, how they emote, and how they engage with society. I think the difference in opinion on what men consoom is negligible between the different subfactions.

      I don't think a leftist movement has a good alternative to offer a disaffected politically agnostic young man who wants a relationship besides the opportunity to cleanly disengage with people who are demanding they stop drinking lemonade, but you didn't really ask that. Perhaps in that case, when a RETVRN type is trying to tell men that in their utopia women will step back in line and be obedient, it's just important to always be ready to tell people that fascism has always been obsessed with aesthetics and it never sits flush with reality so while we don't have a good answer, it's better than an actively harmful answer that brings you further from what you want.

    Hot babe comes out with a pitcher of lemonade while I'm wiping the sweat off my brow from mowing the lawn: No thanks "sweetheart" lemonade is for WOMEN.

      Somehow at work, lemon in various form has made it's way all over the menu and so I've genuinely got some solutions to your joke problem! Zest it and nix the zest with a bunch of salt and sugar, mix regularly while drying and you got like a sweet lemony salt thats good sprinkled on lots of stuff, slice the peels up thin and long and simmer them in oil and you got lemon conditioner, and the lemon oil can be used to make a solid lemon aioli, you can make a pretty dope dressing with 1/3 lemon juice 2/3 olive oil and a bunch of salt and pepper mixed up, and you can just eat a lemon.

        As a man, you should only drink whiskey, never whisky which is a liquor for effeminate peoples (scots etc)

              “Come in, Jim,” said the captain. “You’re a good boy in your line, Jim, but I don’t think you and me’ll go to sea again. You’re too much of the born favourite for me. Is that you, John Silver? What brings you here, man?”
              “Come back in my booty, sir,” returned Silver. “Ah!” said the captain, and that was all he said. What a supper I had of it that night, with all my friends around me; and what a meal it was, with Ben Gunn’s salted goat and some delicacies and a bottle of old wine from the HISPANIOLA. Never, I am sure, were people gayer or happier.

    Yes, I'm a man. That means I drain my styrofoam tray of raw chicken into a glass and add some spritz for a manly sparkling myoglobin.

      Now why would a man want a sparkling drink?

      You know what else sparkles? Glitter. No real man would be caught dead in the same room as glitter.

    Honestly trying American lemonade and American tea for the first time was an experience. Why is there so much sugar (or I guess high fructose corn syrup) in this drink?

      Depends on who is making it. Everything store bought will be super sweet. I make my lemonade sour

        It was an immigrant from Chicago, but she said she preferred "southern style" whatever that means. Pulled out iced tea with like a week's worth of my regular sugar intake in the pitcher.

          Southern tea is absurdly sweet, it's more normal in other places. I did think lemonade was sugary everywhere tho.

            Southern sweet tea is more of a dessert. Basically everyone here orders unsweet though and adds sugar to taste. The sweet tea they sell is mostly for kids and old ladies.

    I miss working at a place that was also a juice bar, I figured out an amazing recipe for close enough to lemonade. Lemons mostly, a couple basil leaves and a bit of carrot juiced. Pour it over shaved ice. Best cooking in a hot kitchen drink ever if they also throw in some vodka

    why are you …

    Because it’s delicious thats why. Imagine having such a fragile grip on being a man, whatver the fuck that even means, that you are bothered by a man drinking lemonade.
