Lemonade and Brownies is the debut studio album by the American rock band Sugar Ray. It was produced by the band's director friend Joseph McGinty "McG" Nichol and executive produced by DJ Lethal. Actress Nicole Eggert is featured on the cover. Even though the album did not chart and was a commercial and critical failure for Atlantic Records, the band stayed on the label, going on to huge success. The guitars on Lemonade and Brownies were played entirely on drop D tuning.[citation needed]
The music video for "Mean Machine" was featured in a Beavis and Butt-Head episode "Bang the Drum Slowly Dumbass".
