When life gives you lemons, make memes out of them. The humble lemon is so overlooked yet does so much for us. Of the citrus fruits, it feels like the default. I wonder why that is, given that lemons are actually a hybrid between a citron and an orange (as I learned from my meme research). But lemons have become a staple of our culture- even signifying Americana in some cases, like the ubiquitous lemonade stand. It's a symbol of summer, a symbol of young entrepreneurship, and a symbol of turning something humble into something great.
What would we do without the lemon? Ever tried to make a whiskey sour without one? Ever tried to make a lemon bar without lemons? You might be thinking "Bro, we could just use limes" and to you, I say, "You make a good point, but I feel like it'd be different." Anyways, we're here today celebrating the lemon, and all the great memes that have come from it.
