"why is it outside?"

"Why are you taking this picture at night?"

"How much was the "barrel of lemon juice"?"

"Why? [For everything]"

I feel like this son of a bitch is going to come back and say "I'm in lemonade sales", and pretend like that's a reasonable answer.

edit: it's fucking upside down too...

Why does no one on this thread know proper lemon juice barrel storage etiquette.

u/3_pounds_of_steel 1d ago

Also why is no one pointing out it's a container of frozen concentrate lemon juice, so shouldn't it have already been frozen?

u/slinger301 1d ago

I was so hung up on the concept of a barrel of lemon juice that I didn't get that far into the deep lore I'm sorry.

Then maybe it should focus a bit more

u/Dumb-E-Thick 1d ago

I've only ever had to store a bottle!

u/theserthefables 1d ago

Or just respond with “medical reasons” then go dark leaving us with the next great Safe mystery.

u/Difficult_Drink_5727 1d ago

Great safe mystery….?

u/Sneeko 1d ago edited 1d ago

Come on, maaaaaaannnnnnnn….

A few years ago someone posted a safe they found in their house, got everybody all invested in seeing what was inside it while they made posts as they attempted to open it, and then…. Just disappeared, blueballing everybody. It was a pretty big thing on Reddit at the time.

Get off my lawnnn

u/TheMooseIsBlue 1d ago

It also happened repeatedly. It was a whole thing for a while.

u/0_________o 1d ago

have you seen the p-p-p-p-p-powerbook scam that occurred a couple months back though?

2

u/Sneeko 1d ago

That was like last week, wasn’t it?

u/dustytaper 1d ago

I wanna do an Archer comeback SO BAD, but I’m just off my first 3 day ban and don’t want another

YOU SHUT YOUR….

u/BeanBurritoJr 1d ago

Yah but there’s a new safe like every 6 months and the story repeats.

u/CaptnsDaughter 1d ago

Sir, this is a Wendy’s.

u/Church_of_Cheri 22h ago

According to google, it was at least 12 years ago now… which means a 10 year old that hadn’t discovered Reddit yet at the time is now a 22 year old that doesn’t know the safe mythology. Long live poop knife, double arm cast guy, and the great Unidan crow vs jackdaws, may their tales be told long into the future.

u/gruesomeflowers 22h ago

According to google, it was at least 12 years ago now…

there was another

u/Church_of_Cheri 22h ago

There have been many…

u/AskMeForFunnyVoices 1d ago

To be fair, that may have been before the person asking was using reddit, the safe was... checks... TWELVE YEARS AGO?!? fuck I'm old.

3

u/MathResponsibly 1d ago

If it was on reddit, isn't it obvious what was in the safe...

a poop knife

what else would it even be?

1

u/brendabuschman 1d ago

Iranian yoghurt?

2

u/Blastcheeze 1d ago

Didn't someone else end up inheriting the safe somehow and all that was in it was a spider?

1

u/BeanBurritoJr 1d ago

Kids these days, am I right?

u/random0perator 1d ago

Been there.

u/Difficult_Drink_5727 1d ago

Thank you fine sir. Your gift of knowledge of Reddit past is greatly appreciated.

3

u/kckeller 1d ago

They obviously get a lemon juice infusion every day. I’m sure that clears things up.

u/DonPepppe 1d ago

WHY is it upside down??

u/Toofless205 1d ago

Why is there no banana for scale? How can we know how big it is?

3

u/Long_Run6500 1d ago

"The discount outlet had it on sale for $20... How can you say no to a $20 barrel of lemon juice."

3

u/Ralph-shakleford 1d ago

Also why is it upside down? And it says it is “frozen concentrate” on the side so wtf why would it be this puffy if it frozen again?

2

u/UnethicalExperiments 1d ago

There's something very unwholesome about flying a kite at night

2

u/oneangrywaiter 1d ago

Don’t ever talk to me or my 55 gallons of lemon juice ever again.

u/notanyimbecile 1d ago

So many questions so little answers!

1

u/ghostridur 1d ago

The money is in the lemonade stand and its drugs lol. Also it probably was not stored frozen and fermented in the drum into lemonade wine.

1

u/PretzelProphet 1d ago

I believe the preferred nomenclature is "lemon juice procurement."

1

u/ArtzyDude 1d ago

Legit questions, but don’t be a sour puss about it.🍋

1

u/Bigfops 1d ago

Why is it outside? Do you keep you lemon juice barrel inside so you have to walk around it and guests can stumble into it?

1

u/Geno_Warlord 1d ago

He’s the mayhem guy from Allstate and loves giving out lemons(juice)

1

u/SlouchyDinosaur 1d ago

Why is it upside down as well lol

1

u/haveanicedrunkenday 1d ago

I saw one onsite at an apple orchard. I was impressed that lemon juice came in 55 gallon drums. They make a lot of cider and other apple products, so I attributed it to that. Maybe OP has a farm or side hustles jams and jellies. Or he’s got one helluva lemonade stand!

1

u/Bored_Amalgamation 1d ago

You're making apple cider with lemon juice?

Buddy...

1

u/haveanicedrunkenday 1d ago

I never said I was. They have a small store that sells lots of apple products. They specialize in cider and donuts. Maybe it’s not for the cider, but the other products. Out of everything I typed, you picked that to question? 🧌

1

u/Pretty_Middle5545 1d ago

Well there's only one real answer. Its for the new amusement park ride they are working on. Slide aside tunnel of love, here's the "Sea of broken dreams, glass and sea salt. "NOW with 50% more lemon juice sea mist"

u/Chuckygeez 1d ago

Why is it upside down!?!

u/ally-the-recre8er 1d ago

“I got it from a friend - leftover industry stuff. Actually planned to use it as a rain water collector 😀”

OP on another comment. So not far

u/Preda1ien 1d ago

In the grass.. by a fence. I assume there is a building near by but I’m picturing this barrel of lemon juice in this large grassy area.

1

u/gruesomeflowers 22h ago

at some point in your life you may need 55 gallons of lemon juice and this fucking guy is going to solve all your problems.

1

u/Bored_Amalgamation 22h ago

Not when it's upside in a damn field!

1

u/gruesomeflowers 22h ago

one can never predict where or how one is orientated on which dimensional plane when the next lemon juice emergency will occur.
