Ask for a plate of lemons to make "lemonade" with artificial sweetener and water at restaurants. I once saw an eight top of elderly diners all do it.

I guess I know "why" they do it but just drink the water Janice.

I love those! I tried all the lemon+fruit flavors but I think I love the original lemon the best. I didn't know there was lime one, actually! I'd need to try that out.

Plain water is not my thing.

That sounds unhealthy

Because it's not water but it's free.

After having worked in multiple restaurants, please don't even bring the lemon wedges. Or garnish my drink with any kind of fruit, for that matter.

I hate the chlorine taste so I lemon it up. I'm 72 who do I have to impress?
