A secret old fashioned recipe
Old Fashioned Lemonade
by Lobber
Dee has a new job at Betty's Beach Diner.
Betty taps the heavy lemonade crock. "Hon, just remove top - add stuff - done."
Betty's lemonade gets rave reviews all summer.
"Hon, cool air today. Time to put Mr. Sunkist to bed."
Dee drains the crock, unscrews the top then carefully tips it on its side. As she wipes the inside her ring catches something. Slowly she pulls out a greasy, old rag. Dee decides to keep Betty's "secret recipe" a secret.

In 1893, P.J. Dreher and his son, the "father of the California citrus industry" Edward L. Dreher (1877-1964), formed the Southern California Fruit Exchange in Claremont, a small college town near Los Angeles. It originally represented only growers of oranges: in 1896 lemon growers joined as well. The exchange soon included growers and groves in Riverside in Riverside County, Pomona and San Dimas in Los Angeles County, and Santa Paula, Saticoy, Fillmore, Rancho Sespe, Bardsdale and Piru in Ventura County; by 1905, the group represented 5,000 members, 45% of the California citrus industry, and renamed itself the California Fruit Growers Exchange. In 1952, it changed its name to Sunkist Growers, Inc.
