welcome to another edition of life mysteries solved!!!

mystery number 1 that has plagued our scientists for centuries is pink lemonade!!! what the hell makes it so different from regular lemonade? is it just food coloring? and if so, why not purple lemonade? or green? or babypoo brown?

the answer is cranberry juice, my friends. pink lemonade has cranberry juice in it. another mystery solved by my crack team of scientists!

and mystery B: b for bows, my friends. bows on cars, to be more specific. when you buy a new car, does the bow come with the car? and if not, where would you go to get such a bow? and is there some company that just makes giant bows for stuff, and that's all they do?

for the answer to this mystery, yours truly called jim faulk lexus of beverly hills. i posed my query to the girl who answered the phone, who agreed that it was a good question and connected me with the sales manager. apparently, depending on what kind of lexus you buy, the bow may or may not come with it. but they certainly have bows on hand for you to purchase for your car. and these bows come from a company he wouldn't name that has had a contract with them for the past 3 years. as far as cost goes, the dealership is charged between $300 and $350 for each bow.

for each bow.

many thanks to the cordial employees of jim faulk lexus of beverly hills for clearing this mystery up, by the way.
