Why Do People in London Call Sprite/Slice - Lemonade?!
Answers: I went to a pub in London and I got Fish and Chips and asked for a Lemonade (because they only served Pepsi products and I only drink Coca Cola products). Anyway...they end up giving me a Slice...or whatever Pepsi is now calling their version of Sprite. In other words...it was soda pop and not lemonade. I am just curious if anyone knows why. Because after that I asked my friend from New Zeland and she sometimes calls Sprite lemonade too. So maybe this is an UK influenced thing but what do they call actual lemonade?
We call it lemonade as well but here there are different brands I don't live in London but I would think that the reason you got sprite is its a brand of lemonade and as the pub only sold pepsi products they have a contract with a supplier which only deals with pepsi
you might not get the lemonade you get in USA as each country's taste different I know your choocolate taste different to ours yours is sweeter and I wouldn't be surprised if Coke tasted different as well
I don't know why exactly they call citrus soft-drinks lemonade, but in India (where because they were under British rule until 1947, go by "British" English) they call water with lemon/lime (though that's not exactly lemonade) "nimbu-pani" which translated means "lime (or lemon) water"
Sorry, I don't think I really answered your question though. :(
Sorry!
That's pretty cool!
