What you should not do, in my humble opinion, is to serve the lemonade in a jar, for which I am showing an image below - as a bad example! Where did this nonsense come from, anyway? Whenever they bring me lemonade in a jar in a cafe, I promptly send it back, with a nice little homily attached. Yes, it may look very nice and decorative, but what if folks want to drink the stuff in big gulps (which is what I like to do) instead of politely sipping on a straw?
And weren't plastic straws deemed to be terribly environmentally damaging? Didn't Gretha make a huge big stink about them only a couple of years ago? And so they replaced them with paper straws that they put inside plastic sleeves? It is rather funny how in the face of all the discared mask mountains and such, that little piece of scaremongering was totally brushed under the rug...
Oh humanity, when will you wise up to what they are doing to you...
