25 versus Lemonade

[jeanvaljean]

This is a thread to discuss which is better: being 25, or drinking lemonade.

Being 25 is pretty awesome. You're at your physical peak but already your own boss, maybe working your first real job or doing your Masters.

Lemonade is yummy, but bad for your teeth and your figure.

Opinions?

I'm Captain Obvious: Being 25 dwarfs lemonade. Sue me (please don't)!

The poll is still close, though.
And lemonade sells really, really well.

Lemonade is the superior. It broke barriers, had a bigger effect on pop culture and raised some important issues

Being 25 has some upsides, but the experience is variable (it's going to suck for some people) and temporary.

Lemonade can be enjoyed by most people at different stages of their life.

You can only be 25 once, but you can drink Lemonade forever!

[Stony]

Lemonade.

I'm only doing 25 again if I can do the whole "if I knew then what I know now"

Damn, I would have used all my pocket money to buy Apple stocks.

25 was a pretty good year for me, but then I turned 26 and it was all over, even though I tried to hang on to 25 just a bit longer and frankly came off looking pretty silly.

But then, the last glass of lemonade I had was so delicious until it was gone. I kept tilting back the glass, trying to get every last delicious drop until it was nothing but ice constantly bumping into my face.

It's sophie's choice, man.

I was broke AF when I was 25.

Now I can buy lemonade to mix my drinks with.

Being 25 wasn't anything special for me. However, lemonade can be enjoyed throughout one's life.

C'mon. 25 may sound good right now, and it does on some level but let's be real, it's not far off from 24 or hell, even 27. It's so static and specific and maybe there is an aura around it, sure it's unique, for SOMEBODY but if you're 25 and still operating like you're 18, that can be problematic. That Lemonade tho, shiiittt. Me personally I don't even like a bunch of sugar in my Lemonade anymore, It's strong FOREVER. It can be as hard or as soft as you need it OR want it to be.

Didn't want to take it there but I feel anyone who would vote 25 over Lemonade probably doesn't even remember actually BEING 25 and just go ahead and have another Ensure while watching Wheel of Fortune. Leave that 'sassy' beverage to the young folk.

I'd gladly go back to 25. It was the first year I was fresh off of being a drug addict and I had a much better outlook on life than previously.

Lemonade demands a lot of sugar, therefore it's not healthy.

[Supernature]

I'm 26 and finally stable. No upsides in the first option tbh. (Snoozefest of an album also.)

Lemonade (sweetened with Stevia to keep my waistline in check) is preferable but not by much. Too acidic. (Also an overrated album. 4 and BEYONCE were better.)

I don't know what to pick as third option... The pop girls really didn't come through last year.
I guess I could be Joanne.

I seriously thought that this thread would be all about the latest albums of ADELE vs BEYONCE.

My being 25 years old ... in hindsight, one of my worst years, both professionally (broke and unemployed for most of it) and personally (college friends moving on and away, generally miserable and hopelessly single). Yeah, compared to now (good job, happily married, adorable kid), would not want to relive that year as it was.

Lemonade is pretty consistently good.

Lemonade trumps 25, both in concept and as albums
