If lemonade tastes the same to you as sprite, you need to go to the doctor or maybe the hospital because something is very wrong
Because what we call "lemonade" in Europe is not the same drink as what is called "lemonade" in the US, although we usually have our own variation (citronnade in France) that corresponds to the American one.
We know what you call it, you're just fucking wrong.
Oh really, then let me just go find some "alcoholic" cider.
Linguistic redundancy at its finest
These are the same people who drive on the wrong side of the road and weigh themselves in stones.
Didn't know all of europe is now the UK
Get antibrexited nerd
"it's provocative, it gets the people going!"
What's lemonade in the EU, then?
Or rather, what do you call water, lemon juice and sugar blended together?
Since I don't speak EU, I can only tell you, what it's called in German. And that would be
I don't really know. It doesn't have much cultural presence here. We have our own drinks that we drink all the time and have names for like Bionade, Schorle, Fassbrause, Radler.
Speaking to 28 countries with 24 languages "WhAt Do YoU cAlL tHiS?"
Not that the UK is in the EU anymore, but we'd call that "Still lemonade", still meaning not sparkling.
Not to be confused with "Flat lemonade", which would just be regular "sparkling" lemonade which has lost its bubbles and now tastes rancid.
Even the real Lemonade in Europe is fizzy, so it actually is closer to Sprite than you'd think.
Obviously Spite isn't really lemonade it's soda, but that's also not really a word that exists in Europe. It's known about and it's understood especially in more recent times, but historically it's not really a word you'd commonly use.
So because Lemonade is sparkling, and the word soda isn't really used, you can kind of see how people would then say well Sprite is Lemonade.
In Germany, Limonade is usually from oranges, so Fanta.
What is this madness? Limonade is made with lemon and lime. Or at least "limon" which is a hybrid of lemon and lime.
In that case we would usually specify Zitronenlimo.
Most places all fruit flavored pop are called lemonade. Where I live even mint and coke can be called that.
I don't think I've ever had real lemonade, only sprite.
Grab a glass, fill it with water, squirt of lemon juice, few tablespoons of sugar, stir, enjoy
Lemonade for me (and google) is a homemade recipe with lemon + water with or without sugar syrup, I guess it depends on the country. I also never see Sprite at parties... just Fanta, Cola and our sodas
It's more that they're straight up called the same thing in those areas for some strange reason.
May have been from back in the day when sodas were still made from carbonating different kinds of fruit juices. Drinks like fanta were a lot more like sparkling lemonade or orange juice than they are now.
I love doing that! So much so that for me true lemonade is just carbonated water and lemon. I do it with oranges, grapefruits and strawberries (mashed)
Nonono
Soda/Pop is called lemonade (or limonade or variations).
Lemonade (US) aka citrus water is not necessarily called lemonade.
Here in germany every sweetened, carbonated beverage is called "lemonade"
Go to Glasgow and its called a "bottle of ginger"
