I'm not dude, sprite especially, literally says lemon and lime on the label. I had no idea this was something people didn't know.

I know it says Lemon lime on the label. Doesn't change the fact that us Aussies call it lemonade.

I dunno, I've been out of the country for the past 12 or so years so maybe things have changed significantly over that time, but for my entire life up until I left, everyone calls Sprite & similar drinks lemonade. No one I know ever made the distinction between Sprite (lemon-lime) and something like Schweppes lemonade (Lemon only), they were just both lemonade, unless you specifically wanted a specific brand.

Fair play, I'm not native and was only there a short while quite a long time ago. So my experience could very well not have been typical.
