I thought it was "When life gives you lemons, have a lemonparty"
When life gives you lemons - ask for tequilla and salt.
No, I'm pretty sure it's "When life gives you lemons, don't tell the wife or she'll be upset that you're now paying these lemons all this extra attention and it's not her fault that she's getting older and losing her shine a bit and why is it that looks are more important when judging women as they get older instead of men and it's so hard with her hormones do you think it could be early menopause and why don't they like me at the office all the younger girls are always chatting and socialising together and I don't get invited to their parties anymore and do these pants make my bum look big and don't comment you never have anything positive to say about me anymore and what the hell is it with these lemons?"
Yes I am familiar with the expression. My comment was a thinly-veiled reference to a well-known shock site.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shock_site#Lemonparty@shmahoo: Yes indeed………. Dont take it personalty dear its just that the lemons understand me ….when I dont want to talk about things like what Sharon said to Kim as soon as I get in from a long day at work.;-)
In case there are any OzB browsing here who don't get this reference, don't google it. Just assume the worst and be happy with that instead.
you mean it's "La Terrible" ? :D
Still a couple more stores to check out in Dandenong for savings, tchi6 :P
But none this good
Nipple holders?
For elephants? I suspect human never had or will have this big nipples….lolz….
Unless you have big kids with huge sucking power.
Cheap way to protect your lemons
Why would lemons need protecting?
What is the normal price of these?
Oh JV, didn't you know, lemon protecting are the in thing now
… when you cut one in half and want to use the other one the next day …

Haha … good find … but come one jv … look at the price :-)
@jv: So maybe post it as a separate deal … would be the cheapest condom deal (except the free ones) around … (but not really sure about quality … the follow up costs after using them could become really, really high … )
@jv: Those are $10 for 100. Which mean 10c each. The one on this deal is 5c each. Come on, i expect better from you.
What?
You mean your lemons are UN-protected???
Thats dangerous. That could cause God-knows what kind of catastrophy///
…………Oh wait.Of course, doesn't the United Nations protect your lemons???
"to protect your lemons…"
…from the impending zombie apocalypse ???
Great! Something to put my balls in!
What…? I have a heap of bouncy balls.
Haha … I have one of these in the fridge … (lemon, tomato, onion, avocado).
We always used only part of these veggies … glad wrapped the left over and it disappeared in the fridge. Just to get thrown out at some stage …
Since we use the containers we see straight away that there is some leftover and don't use glad wrap anymore … good investment at 5c … but to make the most out of them you need different ones too …
We always used only part of these veggies
Lemons aren't veggies…
They aren't non-veggies either…
yes they are…
Come on "cniminc" … I wanted to be nice to jv to give him a chance to correct me … it makes him feel good :-)
(and he is correct … lemons are no veggies - I even think the tomato would be a fruit … )@mini_wombat: While we are discussing (aka correcting)… technically only the onion is a veggie lol Though I'm with mini_wombat… they really are veggies!
Anyone told you that you have a serious issue with persisting to bold one word in every post? Your text gets across the same message without it you know.
No, it actually changes the tone of the message and helps you put emphasis on certain words.
Your text gets across the same message without it you know.
I don't think so.
And tomatoes are? :)
Edit: Added bold to help get my point across.
Really?
I always used to think jv had a hidden ability to make most posts partly greyed out, then I realised that's just what happens when your posts get negged!
Don't put bicarb soda in one side, vinegar in the other, join together and throw.
The ol' Kinder Surprise bomb!
Speaking of such things, I notice that the napalm/flamethrower ping pong ball is about to have its material makeup change to something less 'backyard explosive-y'. That's a bummer.
Don't tell Abbott about these lemons that need protection. Once he finds out this, he'll shove them all back on the boat and send them to Christmas Island or Nauru for "processing".
That felt… a little forced
logged in just to like the title..lol
haha, instead of giving someone $20 worth of 5c, just give them $20 worth of these lemon holders!
When life gives you lemon holders…
can i put my washed undies in thr…..would be nice for summers
i dont want them to exchange smell with other items in the fridge, so these wud be ideal.Don't do it, your b@lls will shrink.
what if yashyes is female…
hahaha +ve for the title+description.
kmart should hire you to write their blurbs :D
"Lemon Holder - Don't rush"
They look like kinder surprises…but lemon flavoured!
I think these are used to stop the lemons from getting too ripe, when you have a bunch of fruit they tend ripen faster due to the ethylene gas that's produced from the surrounding fruits.
So I guess these are used to create a barrier between each lemon.
to think there was a conversation between some business dudes somewhere that started off with, "hey i've got an awesome business idea/there's a really niche market to manufacture a new exciting product!" and ended somewhere with lemon.. holders.
I feel sorry for the Kmart staff that had to label these, probably cost more in wages. Should have just stuck a free to take sticker and Boom, the're gone!
the only way they'd go faster is to put a sign saying "Please don't steal these"
The lemons in my kitchen aren't under attack as far as I'm aware (mine usually come with their own protective skin) but if I drill a hole in these "holders" for the stem maybe I can use them to keep the beetles and bugs off the ones still growing on my lemon trees. Might also help mitigate the effect of frost. Fabulous thing, have ordered a gross.
"Fabulous thing, have ordered a gross"
We don't use that term here.
We prefer "Fabulous thing, have ordered a broden"
But I'm not onselling. On second thoughts maybe after the neighbours see them hanging on my lemon trees they'll all want some.
are these empty kinder surprise capsules? why would i buy this?
This is UNACCEPTABLE!!! UNACCEPTABLE!!!!!!!
Other than the reason someone above bought up of causing you to notice there's something you left in the fridge what is the point of these things? I can't ever recall damaging a lemon before. Or any other fruit vegetable I left in the kitchen for that matter …
When you only need a slice for your gin and tonic or Corona and want to put the rest back in the fridge. It stops the cut bits from drying out. It is also good for half used onions (stops the rest of the fridge smelling of onion.
Yes you could use glad wrap instead.The trick is to not put things in the fridge which don't actually require refrigeration. Amazing thing about fridges - they dry things out.
You'd be pretty sour if you missed this deal.
Perfect for protecting your lemons from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U5mI407Uks4 !
(No nudity but not really SFW)
I should buy alot then put them in a pile of lemons at woolworths or something
Serious question. We live in a townhouse complex and have a lemon tree but dodgy neighbors keep taking ALL our lemons. Will covering them in these lemon holders actually protect them?
Two questions and one tip. Why would you want to protect your neighbours if they're flogging ALL your lemons? Will they stand still long enough for you to cover them in lemon holders? Put an ink mark on your lemons and check your local fresh fruit mart regularly. Unless your neighbours' bins have lots of empty gin, wodka or tequila bottles it's probably not them. Regards, Dorothy
Do they have any turnip protectors ? That's all we have in Shelbyville.
These would be great for so many things. Ozbargainers are usually much more creative. How about… Snack storage, mini lunchbox, place to hide jewellery/cash, drill a few holes in one and make a treat ball for cats/dogs, egg cup for bunyip eggs, base could be a plant pot, party hats for pets, a take on the coconut bra for smaller busted women, dessert cups, a place to hide old-forgotten-mouldy lemons in the fridge…
Innovation award for this century goes to Abbycat….lol…
…my lemons must be total badasses who can take care of themselves…
Come'on. Be a nice man to your lemons and buy them a protection like OP.
Info on buying, storing and slicing lemons! http://m.wikihow.com/Store-Lemons I usually go for the plate in a fridge technique, didn't know heavier lemons are preferred, all these years feeling lemons and now I learn this! Thanks OP!
Reminds me of the old saying, 'when life gives you lemons, put them in your lemon holder'. Or something like that.
