In case it wasn’t obvious, this blog is about a single thing in particular.

LEMONADE!

I tend to cycle what drinks I consistently consume, and recently I’ve had quite an infatuation with Lemonade! Specifically, I’ve been buying 12 packs of Minute Maid Lemonade cans due to how easy they are to store. The pro’s of having a mini fridge in your room, I guess.

Lemonade is one of those drinks that can be a huge mixed bag depending on it’s source, as some companies or people simply can’t get it right, while others can perfectly hit the mark. Lemonade needs to be slightly sour, slightly sweet, and feel refreshing to drink while not being overpowering, and from my tastes, Minute Maid cans simply hit that mark right where I want it. Now don’t get me wrong, I love all kinds of Lemonades, especially more natural ones. Hell, I’d even drink straight Lemon juice if I felt like it that day, but sometimes you don’t care about how healthy the drink is or how much (probably fake) sugar is entering your body, you just want a nice sip of Lemonade because you’re thirsty.

On average there’s about 150 calories and 40g of sugar in a can of Minute Maid Lemonade (the entire can is 80% sugar), and I typically drink about 2 cans a day. That means that I am consistently consuming 300 Calories and 80g of sugar per day off of Lemonade alone.

Now, I know what you’re probably saying.

“Oh my god! Pibb! You’re gonna get fat drinking all that Lemonade! You should think about your beverage habits and drink healthier things!”
Well to that I say, suck it. A good perk of having a fast metabolism is the ability to eat/drink basically whatever I want with no repercussions. I cannot speak for myself in the future, however. As of the time of writing this I am only 16, and therefore cannot predict if my metabolism will stay this fast when I am older, but as of now it’s, dare I say, fast af.

To conclude, Lemonade is good, drink more of it if you want more joy in your life.
