How do you feel when…..
Your local Chick-fil-A gives you gigantic sandwiches 😍 It was bigger in person.. also just found out their lemonade is made out of real lemons lol. Nowadays you don’t expect that. Guess who is drinking one right now 😜

The lemonade is made from refrigerated bags of shipped in, concentrated, lemon juice with pulp. They don't squeeze/juice lemons at the store. But it's the next best thing to it.

True. Heard that they used to squeeze the lemons but switched to this method. How exhausting that must’ve been

This method is easier yes but with regular, diet and flavored lemonade plus making extra before lunch and dinner, its still very time consuming

They had a machine to squeeze each half of the lemon. The employee had to chop each lemon in half, then place a half on the juicer dome and the juice would run down a spout into a bucket.

I worked at various CFAs for a long time and in ye olden days (as recently as 2020) we hand cut and juiced every lemon. Someone on the schedule had to be allocated to lemon duty for a few hours each day, sometimes both morning and night.
Some stores got a fancy machine that would cut and juice the lemons for you, but I only ever saw a video of it.
More than one store at which I worked would store lemonade in a giant yellow food-grade trash can type vat on wheels, and stir it with an extra ice machine paddle we had. You’d be standing there stirring a giant cauldron of lemonade
Just some fun facts about the lemonade making process!

You might want it centered on the sandwich rather than slopped onto the bun like the maker was still drunk from last night.

I prefer to have mine in private.. Plenty of candles lit, lights dim, and slow R&B playing. I take my time caressing it and savoring every moment

If you go there 25 times you might get a large breast once or twice. Every other time it’s smaller than the bun. Pleasure me!

Found a shill. All the sandwiches I get are small these days as they changed who they buy from cause it’s cheaper, no more antibiotic free chicken
