I saw an ad for Lemonade Tycoon on Yahoo Games, so I thought I'd give it a try. I've always liked sim and econ based games, so I figured this would be entertaining. I downloaded the demo, and it was fun, although a little mindless at points. And it only lasts 60 minutes. There are a whole bunch of variables for you to manipulate (price, recipe, location, advertising, equipment) that affect your daily income. The object of course is to maximize profit, and you can upload your stats to the LSX (Lemonade Stock Exchange) and see how you compare against other players. (Although it seems there a lot of people who do nothing but play this game.)
The real 'wonder' of the game is that you can download it for your Palm, where mindless entertainment is useful. It's a step above the little games that people have on thier phones, and can surely keep you occupied when you are bored. But unfortunately I don't think it's the best thing to eat up your time when you are at home. Also the Yahoo Games demo is a newer version than the registered version floating around the internet. (Not that I found a registered version or anything.) It's has a lot fewer upgrades for your Lemonade stand and makes the game get boring much much sooner.
If you have an afternoon to kill sometime, this game is an excellent candidate, but it gets repetitive pretty fast.
