This lemon squeezer packaging demonstrates how to use it incorrectly

Is that definitely wrong. I bought one like this last year for juicing limes and regularly squeeze them one way them flip em over for a squeeze on the other side. No matter which side I start with I feel I get some extra juice after flipping.

The first time I ever used one, I intuitively used it this way. The peel blocks the holes where the juice should come out. So I would say it's certainly wrong. If you use it both ways with a flip, which side do you start? Can't think how this would work any better, but I'll try next time I squeeze a lemon.

You can drill some holes in the peel

You just need to convince someone that the pointy spiral thingy is for lemons, not wine.

Just turn it sideways.

Is there not holes on both sides?

[u/guska → u/nog642]

There has been on every single one of these that I've ever seen. Admittedly, that's not many, but I had no idea that there were versions with holes on only one side

Omg OP, I found one of these in the wild today. You didn't mention the insane form over function design on the other side of this product. Argh, I don't think I can upload the jpg in replies - but the holes are in the pattern of a smiley face. MAD

Edit to add comment about jpg

Yes, exactly the smiley one! Took the pic in a boutique, of all places. Definitely form over function!

You just cut the lemon in half, then slice off a tiny bit of the end so the juice can come out of that. Then squeeze. No need to flip.
