A spaghetti noodle, much like a swimming-pool noodle, maintains its shape until it's exposed to boiling water or sat on by children. Savor pasta's forced flexibility with today's Groupon: for $32, you get a three-course Italian dinner for two at Capozzi's Decatur (up to a $67 value). The three courses include:
• Any one shared appetizer (up to a $9 value).
• Any two salads (up to a $10 value each).
• Any two dinner entrees (up to a $19 value each).
Capozzi's Decatur regales diners with an expansive menu of succulent, Italian-style eats. At the outset of the three-course feast, patrons can choose from nine appetizers, ranging from the breaded and deep-fried mozzarella to the eggplant Napoleon––an herbaceous platter featuring a grilled portabella mushroom, marinated tomato, and goat cheese topped with a splash of aged, yet still handsome, balsamic vinegar. Mozzarella, tomato, and italian seasonings add zest to the fresh, cool Caprese salad, whereas those looking for a heartier palate-cleanser can opt for the house salad, which heaps tomatoes, carrots, cucumbers, olives, and pepperoncini onto a platter of fresh greens. Finally, patrons can halt mid-meal debates about the existence of gravity by falling upon a sumptuous platter of tender veal marsala flanked by fresh mushrooms and onions or pacify appetites with pillowy pasta in the shrimp parmigiana or steak and portabella ragu.
Awash in the golden light of low-hanging luminaries and elegant wall sconces, Capozzi's Decatur's white tablecloths, glass goblets, and Mediterranean-themed paintings invite an evening of intimate and immersive dining. Although not included in today's Groupon, patrons can choose from a selection of 30 wines to sip on the covered, outdoor patio or douse on underperforming bocce balls in Capozzi's Decatur's backyard garden.

The Groupon Guide to: Running a Successful Lemonade Stand
Ever since juice makers learned how to concoct lemonade entirely out of the light yellow liquid oozing from greek yogurt, the world's supply of lemons has grown, and more people have opened lemonade stands. Here's how you can make more money manning a juice station:
- Create an attention-grabbing sign by spelling "lemonade" with strawberry jam and letting ants crawl over it to make the letters look like they're in motion.
- Make your customers feel at home by yelling at them when they make eye contact with you.
- Offer a two-for-one deal—for every two cups of lemonade you buy, you have to supply one digit of your ATM PIN.
- Serve a dozen people at once by running over entire bags of lemons with a lawn mower, catching the fluid in an inflatable pool, and giving patrons permission to stick out their tongue while they swim.
- Ensure customers return by creating a loyalty program, which rewards customers with an occasional free drink as long as they agree to add you to their living will.
