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.
It looks like a power-up move
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?
Grafefruit impedes the removal of a great many drugs, just as antihistamines do, quinine, and other stuff. It slows the removal of drugs out of your system by about 50%,
Yesterday, I woke up sucking a lemon.

Search for "DBT skills" if you're interested, for example smelling ammonia can snap you out of an onsetting panic attack
"Make life rue the day it decided to give Cave Johnson lemons!"
There is a saying with life and lemons...
Usually they say to have a sour candy because, and I might be wrong, it triggers saliva production which is not something you usually do when in a heightened state and this helps trick your brain.
Now try it with an onion.
You can also try ice in your mouth. Which you could pull off at work and pretend you like chewing ice.
Or, a rubber band snapping on your skin or a scrunchie snapping on your wrist.
Works with any intense sensation (which is why self-harm is common - don't do this during a work meeting).
Best power move
Pro tip: sour candy
Or, if you’re an Australian prime minister, a raw onion will do.
Isn’t this sort of the same idea as a spoonful of sugar and hiccups?
