Technicolor Lemons



Let oranges or lemons soak in food coloring… Freeze and you could put them in a super cute punch.



Lemons injected with food coloring for a pretty centerpiece.



These are but a couple of the many Pins floating around that seem to show lemons that have been dyed lovely rainbow colors.  It's a very popular idea.  There is an entire board dedicated to Rainbow Lemons, as a matter of fact.

How did they do it?  One Pinner suggests injecting the lemons with food coloring, but Mad Art Lab tried that and (spoiler alert) it didn't work.  In fact, they tried a number of ways to color their lemons, and it didn't work.  

Others tried as well:


Here's why it cannot be done.  Because that picture has been Photoshopped.  Here's the original, and it's not even lemons - those are oranges!



So stop stabbing your lemons with syringes and drowning them in food coloring.  Enjoy their lemony goodness for what it is.
