Satirical Marketing Strategy for Lemons
You lemons
Make lemonade?
No.
First you roll out a multimedia campaign to convince people lemons are
incredibly scarce, which only works if you stockpile lemons, control the
supply. Then a, a media blitz. Lemons are the only way to
say, "I love you." The must-have accessory for
engagements or
anniversaries. Roses are out,
lemons are in. Billboards that say, "She won't have sex with you unless you've
got lemons." You cut DeBeers in on it.
Limited edition lemon bracelets, yellow diamonds called lemon drops.
You get Apple to call their new operating system OS Lemon.
Little accent over the O. You charge forty percent more for organic
lemons, fifty
percent more for conflict-free lemons. You pack the Capitol with lemon lobbyists.
You get a Kardashian to suck a lemon wedge in a leaked sex tape.
Timothée Chalamet wears lemon shoes at Cannes.
Get a hashtag campaign. Something isn't cool or tight or
awesome, no, it's lemon.
"Did you see that movie? Did you go to that concert?
It was effing lemon."
Billie Eilish, "OMG, #lemon."
You get Dr. Oz to recommend four lemons a day
and a lemon
suppository supplement to get rid of toxins, 'cause there is
nothing scarier than toxins. Then you patent the
seeds.
You write a line of genetic code that makes lemons look just a little more
like
tits, and you get a gene patent for the
tit-lemon DNA
sequence. You cross-pollinate.
You get those seeds circulating in the wild, and then you sue the
farmers for copyright infringement when that genetic code shows up on their
land. Sit back, rake in the millions, and then, when
you're done,
and you've sold your lemon empire for a few billion dollars, then and only
then, you make some fucking lemonade.
