I sat next to Aprille last night at an office dinner when she ordered a pot of hot tea. It came with wedges of lemons... wearing shower caps!
I was amused and baffled as to why each lemon had a little shower cap on. The internet to the rescue. A search revealed that the lemon bags are used to keep the seeds out when you squeeze the juice out of the lemon! Clever. I can't help but come up with alternative uses for them though. Golf ball cozies. Slippers for cats.
I've seen these but have never tried them. I think these are more useful and ingenious than those saran quick covers that actually ARE shower caps. (A google search shows that they may be discontinued; I can't imagine why...)
ReplyDeletei hate it when the seeds get into my drink- especially in ice tea, when i'm sucking it with a straw. major pet peeve. these look fun and useful! although what do you do with it afterwards?
ReplyDeleteI've been looking for some of these caps for so long! My sister in law once found some more me on an out of state trip, and they were so very useful.
ReplyDeleteAnother bonus - they keep you from squirting lemon juice in your eye, which I've, oops, done more than once!
i saw them the other day in the front "$1" section at target!
ReplyDeleteFile that under "What will they think of next"!

That's a new one on me! LOL! :) Amazing!
ReplyDeleteThose are so cute! I would have been compelled to take one home!
ReplyDeleteCall me Negative Nancy, but wouldn't it be more cost productive to actually remove the seeds?
ReplyDeletei call them lemon tee shirts!
ReplyDeleteaccessorizing lemons. love it!
ReplyDeleteThat's so bizzare! Never seen them here in Singapore!
ReplyDeletein the philippines, these are widely used on the filipino version of a lemon-lime citrus-y fruit that's really very small, called kalamansi.
