Administrators Teeny Tiny Cat Posted May 14, 2016 Administrators Share Posted May 14, 2016 lemonade in the US is not the same thing as cloudy lemonade in the UK. it's super bitter. cloudy lemonade is sweet still, just not as artificial/sugary tasting as pop lemonade.

Sniper Noob Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 I drink my ice tea sweet too, I live in new England isn't sprite all over the world, with it still being the same sprite (for the most part)? I would think so since it's a Coke product but I have no idea. I can for sure say that Lemonade is not the same as Sprite though lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silencedotmid Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 For any Americans in this thread interested in variation in dialect, try out this quiz from the New York Times. It was able to pinpoint my location within one state from my slang alone, and I'd like to see how it turns out for you guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puddingkip Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Isn't there a difference between limonade and sprite? Our limonade is not sweet, or only a very little bit. Sprite is extremely sweet. And sprite is way fizzier (is that a word? More bubbles is what I mean) than limonade. And with sprite we also refer to all the wannabes that are also over sweet, fizzy and have a hint of lemon in it. And for differences, Americans call their cola coke for some reason that makes no sense. Coke is for adult parties, cola is for kids Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Bakula Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 And for differences, Americans call their cola coke for some reason that makes no sense. Coke is for adult parties, cola is for kids That's because one of the major brands is Coca-Cola, which is typically shortened to Coke (Coca-Cola Light is even branded as Diet Coke in America). As Coca-Cola is based in Atlanta, most of the surrounding area uses Coke as a catch-all for carbonated beverages. When you get out of the south though, it becomes either Soda or Pop (with a tiny region calling it Tonic). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Findiculous Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 And for differences, Americans call their cola coke for some reason that makes no sense. Coke is for adult parties, cola is for kids Didnt coca cola originally contain cocaine? (a loooooong time ago obviously) or was that a myth? Also I am British and Iced Tea is still Iced Tea. We dont call it Tea with Ice. Its a different kind of tea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Bakula Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 oh it's brand specific, I never knew that It's only brand specific in certain regions though. As I mentioned before, you get down south to Georgia and Alabama, and Coke becomes the term for any soft drink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
