When a lemon seeds falls to the bottom of your drink, it's not only slightly annoying, but it's also slightly dangerous. We have to sip our drink in the constant fear that the lemon seed is going to zip up through the straw, get lodged in our throat and kill us. Don't act like that's not crossing your mind when you see that seed falling gracefully and slowly to the bottom of your glass. I, for one, would rather not sip my drink in constant fear.Luckily, there's a solution to this problem. A solution that requires physics and actual skill. This solution consists of jabbing the seed with your straw, so it's stuck across the submerged end of the straw. Once you have it cornered, you can begin the extraction. To extract said lemon seed, pucker up and suck that straw fairly hard, forcing the seed to be stuck to the end of your straw, allowing you to do the suck-and-lift technique to bring it to the top. Don't get lazy as you lift up, because there's still the challenge of getting past the ice and then holding the seed there out in open air. Once you've successfully extracted the lemon seed, high fives are in order. Congratulations, you cheated death.
It's just slightly annoying.
