Yeah, sprite is lemonade. Not sure what the other commenter was on about smh
I've always known sprite and similar lemon flavored soft drinks to be lemonade, though there is a lime version.
I'm sure I remember seeing lemonade on sprite packaging when I was younger, and it looks like Google agrees with my memory. Not sure why these other guys are arguing with you.
Obviously the same for all the other brands as well (Schweppes lemonade is very much a carbonated soft drink).
In thinking as an immigrant I just missed this fact in my time down in oz.
Maybe it's regional or generational?
Maybe it's generational, I'm pretty old and sprite is and always was lemon and lime, it's why it's green and yellow... it became popular in the uk when I was young as a 7up competitor which stopped being "cool" in the 80s though it had been more popular before that. Lived in UK, France, Canada and Australia... so its just personal experience.
It's not though, it's lemon and lime. Lemonade is just fizzy lemon...Barr's make a great lemonade, Schweppes is decent. if you go for a lemonade and orange or lemonade and lime in a pub you generally don't get sprite/7up. If its all they've got they'll check with you that that's OK, like if they have Pepsi instead of Coke.
