Lmao this American girl walked up to a Hungry Jacks (Burger King) register with her drink and really, really loudly (I was at the other side of the place) proclaimed:
\n\u201cI asked for Lemonade, you gave me Sprite\u201d in a really bitchy, entitled voice.

\n\n

The cashier (and everyone within earshot) just looked at her like \u201cthe fuck is wrong with you\u201d

\n\n

In Australia, Sprite IS lemonade as far as we\u2019re concerned.

\n\n

Enjoy your 90c refund you cheap ass ho.

\n
\n\n

\u201cSprite IS lemonade as far as we\u2019re concerned\u201d\n\n

\n
\n\n@fleamont can you verify?
\n\n

Yeah this is correct. Lemonade is sprite. Clear fizzy liquid type thing. Solo is closer to what American lemonade is but we don\u2019t actually have what you guys consider lemonade anyway so she was never going to get what she wanted lmao.

\n
\n\n

Y'ALL AIN\u2019T GOT LEMONADE?!?!??

\n

madness\u2026

\n
\n

\u201cwe don\u2019t actually have what you guys consider lemonade\u201c\n

\n
\n

That entire continent exists on a different realm of existence

\n
\n\n

What the\u2026 Lmao

\n
\n\n

Why is it called lemonade then? \ud83e\udd14

\n
\n

@casualswfan What is wrong with you guys?

\n
\n

IT IS THE SAME DAMN THING. You Yankees and your fifty brands of the same :P

\n
\n

LEMONADE AND SPRITE ARE NOTHING ALIKE

\n
\n

Things heating up in the drink fandom

\n
\n

I\u2019m pretty sure the same is true in the UK at least was in 2010 except Sprite didn\u2019t seem to be a common brand so I\u2019d ask for Sprite get blank looks eventually figured out to ask for lemonade\u00a0

\n
\n

Sprite is a recognised brand here, but it\u2019s not omnipresent, it is also considered a brand of lemonade.

\n
\n\n

This is fucked up.

\n
\n

Sprite: lemon-lime soda (pop/carbonated beverage).

Lemonade: lemons, water, and sugar. Still.

\n
\n

LEMONADE IS NOT CARBONATED WHATT HEFUCC CK ARE YOU ALL DOIGN

\n
\n

Living? Sensibly?

\n

Also on what planet does Sprite have lime in it.

\n
\n

Sprite, the lemon-lime flavored \n\ncarbonated\u00a0beverage, is made on Earth.

\n

\n\nEarth\u00a0is the third planet from the Sun, the densest planet in the Solar System, the largest of the Solar System\u2019s four terrestrial planets, and the only astronomical object known to harbor Sprite.

\n

The people of Earth are known as\u00a0\u201cEarthlings\u201d or\u00a0\u201cSpriteloids\u201d interchangeably (although not to each other).

\n
\n

At least in the UK, if you order lemonade you\u2019ll sometimes get Sprite, but if it\u2019s proper it\u2019s a lemon soda akin to the Italian gassosa - less sweet than Sprite.

\n
\n

Oh shit, I\u2019ve had gassosa, it\u2019s AMAZING.

\n
\n

I just want to say that the whole \u2018lemonade and Sprite are interchangeable\u2019 is pretty common throughout Asia as well, in my experience

\n
\n\n@bre-e-e-e what madness is this?!?!?!?!
\n\n@kingkilling-and-stormlight so\u2026 what you are all saying is. Lemonade is \u2026 not fizzy\u2026 in America?
\n

You guys have orange juice at least, right? Grapefruit juice? In the US, Lemonade is a juice, like orange juice, but made with lemons instead of oranges. You can buy\u00a0\u201cfresh squeezed lemonade\u201d at many restaurants and fast food venues. Typically it\u2019s diluted a bit with sugar water, so the sour flavor of the raw lemon juice isn\u2019t so overpowering.\u00a0

\n

In the south, it\u2019s very common for people buy whole lemons and make their own lemonade at home using a citrus juicer.

\n
\n

In Germany, you\u2019d ask for\u00a0\u201cLimonade\u201d and yeah, you may get a Sprite or a Fanta; it\u2019ll always be a fizzy nonalcoholic drink and usually come in lemon, lime, orange flavor. Only in healthfood or hipster establishments would it ever be an actual juice drink.

\n
\n

As a fan of homemade rosewater lemonade, I am twitching at the thought of sickly sweet carbonated beverages that taste like they were invented by\u00a0someone who may have been in the same room as a citrus fruit once but can\u2019t remember what it actually tastes like being called lemonade.

\n
\n\n

Wtf did y'all think beyonce was talking about????

\n
\n

oh wow I hadn\u2019t even considered that. Like millions of people worldwide hearing the album title but not understanding what lemonade means even on the most superficial level.

\n
\n\n

This is so epically disturbing. Lemonade is such an integral part of spring and summertime. I just \u2026 this breaks my brain and my heart. The cultural references too. Just, all the American shows that reference lemonade and people in other countries are thinking Sprite? There\u2019s a reason kids do freshly squeezed lemonade stands. You can\u2019t buy it like that from a store. And there\u2019s nothing quite like screwing it up and getting the sugar ratio wrong. And parents grinning through the too sour or too sweet mess and praising your efforts. Lemonade Is a Thing.

\n
\n\n

Wait does that mean Aussies make Shandies with sprite?????

\n
\n

Does this mean a significant portion of the global population don\u2019t know what to do when life hands you lemons?

\n
\n

Yes, Australians make Shandies with our carbonated soft drink lemonade, though if you\u2019re using it as a mixer, you\u2019re less likely to be using Sprite and more likely to be using Schweppes, which looks like this:

\n

Like. We absolutely have a concept of flat, juice-based lemonade, but as an earlier commenter said, it\u2019s a niche hipster speciality rather than the default, and even then, it\u2019s still going to be premade rather than fresh.\u00a0

\n
\n

OH GOD THAT\u2019S WHY AMERICAN CHILDREN CAN MAKE IT AND SELL IT SO EASILY. I ALWAYS WONDERED HOW KIDS COULD MAKE A CARBONATED DRINK AT HOME.

Reblogging for Beyonce. This thread is gold.
