THERE WAS THE CUTEST LITTLE ICED TEA STAND TODAY IN LOS FELIZ.
TWO LITTLE DOLLS SAT ON THEIR FAMILIES DRIVE-WAY SELLING ICED TEA THEY MADE THEMSELVES TO COOL OFF. TODAY- SUNDAY- 4/9/17.
I HAVEN'T SEEN ONE OF THESE STANDS SINCE..... FOREVER.
I DO REMEMBER ABOUT 4 YEARS AGO I WAS TRAVELING WEST ON ARLINGTON IN THE INGLEWOOD AREA. THERE WERE THESE TWO BOYS WITH A LEMONADE STAND- THEY WAIVED ME TO STOP, AND I'VE ALWAYS REGRETTED NOT DOING SO.
TO MAKE UP FOR THAT REGRET, WHEN THESE TWO DOLLS WAIVED ME DOWN TODAY- I MADE A BEELINE AND PULLED OVER.
I CHECKED ME POCKETS TO MAKE SURE I HAD CASH. THEN WALKED OVER TO THEIR ADORABLE STAND. INSTEAD OF LEMONADE THEY WERE SERVING ICED TEA.
IN UNISON THEY ASKED, "WOULD YOU LIKE TO BUY A CUP OF ICED TEA?!"
"YES I WOULD, I REPLIED. HOW MUCH IS IT?"
IN UNISON THEY REPLIED, "ONE DOLLAR."
I GAVE THEM $1 AND ANOTHER $1 AS TIP.
"THANK YOU!!" THEY SAID IN UNISON. THEY WERE VERY EXCITED.
BTW- THE TEA WAS AMAZING!
HOMEMADE- FRESH MINT-
AS A TEA FESTISHIST I APPROVE!
I love and old fashion cold drink stand! They can actually be quite profitable!
