Lemons, Limes and Oranges ...in a packet

Just in time for tea! This is probably one of the best food products I've tried in a long time: True-Lemon . Finally a lemon substitute that actually tastes like lemon. Lemon is great in so many things, but it's hard to keep around your house so that you always have it. I used to drink lemon in hot tea, but after a while it didn't make sense to buy a whole lemon when all I wanted was a slice. Old lemon substitutes like Realemon always tasted too bitter...never quite like the real thing. True-Lemon really does taste exactly like real lemon in tea and water.

Judging from the number of sites with people complaining, I suspect it will take Norton and Steam about 6 months to work this issue out. Avast! scanned the temp file and found nothing wrong with it. I wonder who was right? We'll soon see.
