Emotional Support Lemons?
Do it when someone’s trying to start a fight with you and they’ll probably back off in terror and confusion.

Pro tip; if you need to do it often, limes are more economical.
All that acid can’t be good for your teeth though?
It’s not bad no, the thing is you don’t brush for 20 minutes or so after which could wear off the enamel after the acid weakens it. But just take it east for a half hour and no harm to teeth done. As I understand it.
It’s the only thing holding me back from eating more lemons
Grapefruit are better anyway though, I would prefer to concentrate on those, I peel and eat like oranges.
apparently grapefruits can be bad if you have medicine?

You can also try ice in your mouth. Which you could pull off at work and pretend you like chewing ice.
