(CNN) — Grab those extra pennies and dimes, because it's almost the official start of summer, which means kids are getting ready for peak lemonade stand season.


Only 14 states allow unpermitted lemonade stands, according to Country Time. So if you're not in California, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, North Dakota, Nebraska, Texas, Missouri, Louisiana, Illinois, New York, Vermont, Rhode Island or Connecticut, those adorable kids selling you lemonade without permits are breaking the law.

But the lemonade mix company wants to change that.




Country Time realizes that lobbying for change, even if it's legalizing lemonade, takes time. That's why Legal-Ade says it will still help kids who get fined for running illegal lemonade stands this summer.

The company encourages parents to apply for a reimbursement and include an image of the child's permit or fine along with a description of what the lemonade stand means to their child.


Now that's pretty sweet.
