    If salt is added to lemonade instead of sugar, then the lifetime

    of the lemonade is vastly increased. That is, it lasts a lot longer

    than it normally would.

    The effect has nothing to do with the intrinsic (internal) properties

    of the lemonade, such as physical or chemical properties.

    The effect is rather an external, mainly socio-cultural one.

    With salt dissolved in it, in an amount roughly equal to the

    otherwise typical amount of sugar, anyone at the party who tastes

    the lemonade encounters the series of physiological reactions

    described in medical terms as the "Trans-Mongolian bleah, yuk, feh,

    waugch, hoo boy" syndrome. That particular individual stays as far

    away from the pitcher as possible for the rest of the evening, and

    may even communicate a vivid description of his experience to

    others, whether explicitly or implicitly. A general sense of repulsion

    thus propagates throughout the group, and the rate of change of

    the quantity remaining in the pitcher decays to virtually zero, vastly

    extending the life of that batch of the beverage.
