Cheap Portal 2 Lemon Grenade

This is a replica of a lemon grenade from the game "Portal 2" where a person named Cave Johnson states: "Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager. Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons. Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons. I'm going to to get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!"

Supplies

You will need a fake lemon (About 3 dollars), a fake grenade (about 2 dollars), a hot glue gun, a razor blade, and a permanent marker (optional).

Destroying the Grenade

To make the lemon grenade you first need to dismantle the fake one. I kept the speaker and stuff inside for a future project. 

Removing the Top

To get the top of our lemon grenade we need to remove the top off our fake one. I used the razor blade to do this.

Now Put It Back Together

Now you need to put the top back together, don't forget the plunger! You could use hot glue if yours doesn't have a screw like mine.

Shaving the Lemon

Now put your grenade top and judge how much you need to shave of, mine didn't need a lot.

And Your Done!

You can touch up the part where the grenade and lemon meet with sharpie, or put a Aperture Science logo somewhere but if you don't want to, congratulations you are now a proud owner of a lemon grenade!

Finishing Touches
