Pink Lemonade?!

Who in the world thinks a lemon is pink? Who came up with PINK lemonade?  Well, if you go to Wikipedia and look up lemonade it gives you two stories. The one I like says that while a guy was making some regular lemonade to sell he accidentally dropped some cinnamon candies in it which turned the lemonade pink and gave it a sweeter taste. The pink lemonade sold better, so he continued dropping cinnamon candies in.

The second story is that someone simply put the dye of a red sock into the lemonade and turned it pink. If you have accidentally washed white laundry with a red sock you should be able to see how this works. If not I will tell you. When laundry is washed some of the coloring comes out. So when you put a red sock in the washer with white cloths a little bit of red dye comes out and mixes with water so it turns the water pink and makes the white cloths turn pink!

Now there is the answer to PINK lemonade!
