Did you ever sell lemonade to make some extra scratch when you were a kid? I know I did a couple of times...and while selling the 'ade wasn't that profitable in the burbs, the kids featured in this article are making some serious bucks and learning some real business and marketing skills.

A good example, Fischer and Alston, best friends who run a lemonade stand in Tribeca. Here's a part of their interview with New York Magazine's Joanna Goddard:

How do you make your lemonade?
FISCHER: My family took lemons and squeezed and squeezed. We were sweating. But Alston’s family mixed powder with water. And the thing is, when you taste it, there’s really no difference.

Did you draw signs?
FISCHER: Alston made signs and spelled some things wrong.
ALSTON: When you spell things wrong, they say, “Oh, that’s cute.”

So you do it on purpose?
We misspelled lemonade: LEMADE.
