...make lemonade! A phrase said by some characters to show how optimistic they are. Even if something horrible has happened—being given the metaphorical lemons—one can still try to make the best of it. The original answer is to say "Make lemonade", but it can be altered for some casual humour. It can also be used to demonstrate that a character is cynical as they point out fallacies, and is very easy to turn into Metaphorgotten or [Popular Saying], But... to show a character is particularly unhinged. |

Sonic the Hedgehog (IDW): This trope is cited by Dr. Eggman during the Test Run arc. The Mobile Maze tower that Sonic, Tails, and Amy stumbled across wasn't meant to be a trap, instead being designed as a testing ground for Badniks. But, since the heroes inadvertently trapped themselves inside it, he figures he might as well take the opportunity presented to him in order to kill them. |

Guild Wars 2's "Hey Bookah!" fake advice column has a letter from an engineer saying he invented a "Lemonade Turret." Problem is, the lemonade tastes like gunpowder and machine oil. Bookah, a member of the often-arrogant Asura race, insists that only the "small-minded and pedantic" would insist lemonade taste like "outmoded versions". He further recommends proper marketing; it's not a lemonade turret, it's a turret with "fresh, lemon-scented ammunition". |

Used in effect by Hu Chang in Catherine Ling: What Doesn't Kill You. When a triad burns down his folk medicine shop in Hong Kong, the ever-optimistic Hu's first response is to go digging through the ashes to see what new and useful compounds the fire turned his stock of herbs and chemicals into. |

In the Naruto Groundhog Peggy Sue fanfic Reload, Naruto acquires the mentality of a Mad Scientist (with the manga's chakra-based seals being his favored approach) with a flair for the dramatic, declaring himself a magician and performer of the impossible. His twist on the phrase? When life gives you lemons, squeeze them and make champagne. Let the morons around you gape like children in a circus and break their heads how the fuck you did it, while your sexy assistant robs them blind with a smile. |

In the Discworld of A.A. Pessimal, a Rodinian character ponders this question, and replies "When life gives you limonka, you pull pin out and throw it back".note Apparently Russian limonka (lemon) is also slang for a hand-grenade. |

The original, KTMA public-access version of the Mystery Science Theater 3000 theme used this phrase verbatim. Crow also used "You find a new God" variant listed in the advertising section. |

This is basically the life philosophy of the Apple Pie Family in the Pony POV Series Dark World Arc, especially Apple Pie. Their reaction to horrible circumstances (which, obviously, abound in Discord's Villain World) is to do their mourning and continue on, making the best of anything they can. She apparently learned this from her grandmother...before said grandmother was turned into a dragon (which in this world isn't THAT bad of a thing to happen actually). |

Portal 2: Aperture Science's Cave Johnson says the original cliché line in response to his fatal illness. Then, after thinking about it, he realizes he's got a better idea: You can rescue a "different" turret from the "Turret Redemption Line". She foreshadows much of the game- among her lines is "Get mad" and "Don't make lemonade". |
