So for the folks that call lemon-lime soda "lemonade" (instead of the non-carbonated drink consisting of water, sugar, and lemon juice), is the idiom "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade" just not a thing? Or is it an idiom that is in use but it just doesn't really make a whole lot of sense?

That idiom only exists in media from the USA. I heard that idiom for the first time in Portal2.

Don't make lemonade. Make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don’t want your damn lemons, what the hell 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 gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!

I mean you still need lemons to make "lemon soda" as you call it.

People don't usually make sprite in their house.

Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
