Today, my little sister opened a lemonade stand in front of our house. Surprisingly, she actually had a lot of customers, all kids. Two hours or so later, some parents came back complaining and threatening to sue my family. Turns out that what we thought was lemonade was actually beer. FML
IronSkye tells us more.
Okay, I'm glad this FML got published. Thanks, guys! However, looks like I have some questions to answer. Firstly, my sister is almost eleven. The day before, we went shopping, and dad bought foir bottles of beer for a game he was going to watch in two days with his friends. My sister took the bottles and put the beer in cups, it totally looked like lemonade. She even put some lemons next to them! Yes, it was light beer, fortunately. But still alcohol. The kids told their mums the juice tasted funny, so they took a sip and figured out what it actually was. In the end, my sister's excuse was that she knew lemonade wouldn't have been successful anyway.

I'm wondering how old your sister is, that no one in your family checked on how she was obtaining this "lemonade"?

That must be some SHIT beer if it is so light you can mistake it for lemonade.

The paleness in the colour of beer doesn't correspond to how good it is. Regardless, it would be more likely the taste that would make the kids realise it's not lemonade.

Again, Mike's Hard Lemonade is flavored "beer"

#39, Erm, no, the alcohol in it is Vodka, not beer..

#53, It is not Vodka. The alcohol is from malt liquir which is not distilled. The county I live in does not allow sales of distilled spirits and you can get Mike's in any store selling beer and wine.

That is definitely not Vodka hahaha

Speaking of such counties: I always found it odd and rather depressing seeing as the Jack Daniels distillery is located in a dry county. No free samples at the end :(

What's Mike's Hard Lemonade? We don't have this in the UK. Sounds like an alcopop!

You're not really missing much, honestly.

Sneaky and resourceful. I see the makings of a very successful businesswoman right there.

Because of my Armenian descent, that sounds like something I would do xD

Really? I would have thought that if a kid was hell-bent on selling beer in the guise if lemonade they wouldn't stop to question their heritage.

It was just a dumb, pointless comment, 35. I was just saying that because Armenians love their liquor, trust me lol

#64, as a fellow American with raging alchoholism on both sides of her family, I can honestly say not all Americans love liqour. Trust me.

#16. Sir, please ignore my previous comment. I missread Aremenian as American, obviously, and did my wording from that. Now I look like an ass and frankly deserve it. I am sorry.

Sounds like she's going to make a very successful business woman one day.

Wow.. I'm pretty speechless here. How'd the little sister got access to beer in first place...?

How does someone mistake lemonade for beer??? Even summer shandy is obviously beer.

It's you that should be complaining! Beer is more expensive than lemonade, and she's probably selling off your beer!
