B&E Blog Post

On market day my group made sour lemonade and there were 3 shots that you had to try and drink. The first shot was a little bit sour the second has more sour and the last drink was extremely sour. 

On market day my group was successful we sold out all of our products And made $44.46 profit. I had a fun time on market day selling the shots and seeing people's reactions to the sourness. Next time what I would do differently is make more of our product because we sold out pretty fast and I think that if we made more product we could have made more money.  

I think that our group members did an unequal amount of work I found that me and luke were doing most of the work well the rest of the group just sat around doing their own thing and wandering off.
