If life gives you a lemon...

Most of you probably know how to finish this sentence. However, I have some better ideas about what should be done with that lemon.

1) Asian method: So, you've just gotten a lemon for free. Good job. Now instead of making lemonade, take out the lemon seeds and plant them. Wait for the seeds to grow into new lemon trees. Continue the process until you have a whole lemon orchard. Harvest the lemons each year and then process them into lemonade using a manufacturing plant next to the orchard. Sell the lemonade to retailers and gain a hefty profit.

2) Scientific method: Take the lemon, split it into pieces and heat each piece to a different temperature. Use iodometric titration to determine the effects of temperature on the degradation of vitamin C (ascorbic acid).
