Off-Lemons

Off-Lemons is a plant in Plants vs. Zombies: Rips in Time, which is unlocked by opening the gate for Vasebreaker levels in French Revolution. He is an instant-use plant that when played, diverts all zombies off of a lane. This is able to divert any zombie, including those who could resist being diverted by plants like Garlic or Skunk Cabbage.

Origins
Off-Lemons is based off of the fruit of Citrus limon, more commonly known as the lemon, which is frequently used in culinary and non-culinary purposes, particularly due to its acidic juice. Its name is a pun on the term "off-limits," which essentially means something inaccessable or out-of-bounds to someone.

Strategies
Off-Lemons is particularly effective when you need to move all zombies off of a row. It is particularly useful in Mystic Marketplace is placed on the top or bottom lanes, since zombies will be diverted into the middle where they are more likely to be destroyed by quicksand. Unlike Garlic, it can divert zombies that don't eat plants or otherwise would be immune to the smell, so this can give Off-Lemons a slight advantage. Otherwise, Off-Lemons can be treated as an instant-use equivalent to Garlic, removing all zombies at once rather than one at a time.

Off-Lemons can be helpful for diverting zombies out of lanes with missing lawnmowers, to assure they won't eat your brains.

Trivia
