Where did this bullshit come from? Sprite is not lemonade in Europe or Australia, it's lemon and lime and I don't know anyone who doesn't know that. There's loads of brands of lemonade here and Australia, cloudy, traditional, clear...wtf?
Really? Because there are a lot of people who disagree with you.
From reddits Ask an Australian
Wikipedia saying " In the United Kingdom, Ireland, Central Europe, South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand, a carbonated lemonade soft drink is more common. Despite the differences between the drinks, each is known simply as "lemonade" in countries where it is dominant."
Quora saying “Lemonade” in Australia normally refers to a clear, carbonated, lemon-flavored beverage similar to 7-Up. “Lemon squash” is a cloudy version of the same thing (still carbonated). There’s no particular tradition of making non-carbonated lemon drinks at home, but if you did, you’d probably call it American-style lemonade."

However I did goof on it not being available. That I'll edit. But the rest of it seems to hold up...
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.
