EVER WONDER
Why the sun lightens our hair, but
darkens our skin?
Why is lemon juice made with artificial
flavor, and dishwashing liquid made
with real lemons?
Why is the time of day with the slowest
traffic called rush hour?
Why isn't there mouse-flavored cat food?
When dog food is new and improved
tasting, who tests it?
Why didn't Noah swat those two
mosquitoes?
Why do they sterilize the needle for
lethal injections?

The difference between the lemon in dishwashing detergent and in lemon juice is what each is used for. The acidic quality of a lemon is what is required in dishwashing soap. Therefore in this case natural lemons are used. In lemon juice, the taste is what is important. Although many brands do use natural lemon juice, other brands use artifical flavors to enhance the taste of the lemon juice. Usually this is done to either sweeten the juice or to remove some of the acidity that makes it bitter.
The 'rush' in rush hour does not refer to the overall speed of traffic, but the sudden fluctuation of cars and noise. Basically, the question picks apart the use of the word "rush" and it's synonyms to acheive a comic effect.
