Interactive Supply and Demand Simulation

Lemonade Stand": a game that just oozes the phrase "supply and demand". "Lemonade Stand" was somewhat challenging in the gameplay; the concept, however, was simple, play through seven days, selling lemonade, while buying the components necessary to concoct said lemonade. Sounds easy, but the kicker is the part where you want to come out with as much profit as possible. I played three seven day sessions of this game, and never once did I manage to come out with a profit. It seemed as though the only time I was drawingin customers was when I dropped the price and raised the amount of sugar per pitcher, which would, needless to say, increas my spending and decrease the money I'm making. Obviously, this is not good for business. A game such as this, believe it or not, requires quite a bit of thought, and, if one hopes to be successful, a strategy. My strategy going into my first gameplay was simple: I didn't have one. My brother had played this game before and warned me that it is difficult to know what to do until you see how the customers react. If you get little-to-no customers, drop the price, then see how they react. Even after lowering the price, I was getting customers that were telling me to lower it even more, and some customers just simply said, "Mmm!" So I knew the lemonade I was producing was tasty, but many were not happy with the price. I lowered the price to fifteen cents per cup, and people started saying it wasn't good. I added a cup of sugar to each pitcher, and raised the price to compensate, and was receiving bad reviews, most telling to me to lower the price, I went back to fifteen cents, thinking, "I've figured it out!" and at the end of the seven days I saw that my profits were -$3. So I had to change my strategy for plays number two and three. For number two, I tried raising the price to twenty cents
