“You know, I’ve been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don’t make lemonade. Make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don’t want your damn lemons, what the hell am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life’s manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons! Do you know who I am? I’m the man who’s gonna burn your house down! With the lemons! I’m gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!”

I’ve never understood the “life gives you lemons” thing. I love lemons. I wish life did give me lemons.

What the hell am I supposed to make with the shit life gives me constantly?

In June of 2025 a California Metrolink train hit a semi towing two trailers full of lemons, I imagine the people living there would have been wishing life hadn't given them lemons I quite that way...

Also there are no more lemons and we doubled the ads. Maybe I could interest you in an ad for Lemon Pledge?

Life never gave us lemons, lemons are man made. We gave ourselves lemons. Demand to see your manager and burn down your own house with combustible lemon.

Wait…

Our manger is God…

Demand to see God and burn down Heaven with combustable lemons! Make him rue the day he let us give ourselves lemons!

This WAS the ultimate lemon reference, but now I think the Fall of the House of Usher one is better.
