They call Sprite and similar drinks lemonade, instead of having real lemonade.

I know different parts of the world have different food and drinks, but this one stands out as odd to me.

I'm pretty sure he's just making a joke about what Americans call cider.

But yeah, we do have lemonade in the UK. The most common kind isn't what Americans would consider lemonade, but we have your kind too.

Are you unaware that in the UK, Cider is an alcoholic drink with a pretty decent alcohol content? We dont really have non alcoholic cider here. So when there's little kids on American shows drinking cider, it's a bit odd.

Carbonated lemon flavored drinks are not lemonade.

Americans don't really have a drink called "cider." There's apple cider, but that doesn't pretend to be a type of cider, that's just a fun name. Like how root beer or birch beer doesn't pretend to be actual beer.

I googled

Apparently American lemonade is called Traditional or cloudy here. And there is something I can buy on Amazon called Country Time Lemonade Mix...

So it looks like we do have American Lemonade here in the England bit of Europe at least.

Root beer is beer.. Root beer belongs to a secondary classification of beer, not one brewed with traditional cereal grains like wheat and barley, but with actual plant roots. ... Root beer is made using sugar, yeast, water and spices.

Candy corn is made of corn syrup, traditionally speaking.

Sea cucumbers are cucumbers.. cause they look em

Once again, you seem to have missed the point entirely, which is that words mean different things in different places. If you speak to somebody from the UK, cider is booze. In the US, it isn't. Calling it 'apple cider' to differentiate it makes no sense given that the booze is also generally made with apples too.

Y'all should. Non alcoholic cider is great. It's been a long time but iirc it tastes basically like a much stronger flavored apple juice. Id love to try as we call it here hard cider though

The cider thing is pretty amusing. Final Fantasy VI had you fetch booze for an NPC. This wasn't allowed by Nintendo's US branch so they changed it to cider...making it so that anyone but American kids are still fetching booze.

Yeah, thats the response I got most places.

But they are generally translating and were more used to British English speakers in places I went.

I drank orangina (sp) most places I could get it, knew what I was getting with that.

*not just Germany, France, Italy, Denmark etc as well.

And apple cider is made using the same process as other ciders but without the yeast making it alcohol. Two can play at this game.
