Description
Sprite is a colourless, caffeine-free, lemon and lime-flavored soft drink created by The Coca-Cola Company. It was first developed in West Germany in 1959 as Fanta Klare Zitrone (“Clear Lemon Fanta”) and was introduced in the United States under the current brand name Sprite in 1961 as a competitor to 7 Up. Bottles of Sprite are usually a transparent green color with a green and yellow label whereas cans are colored silver, green, and blue and aluminum bottles are colored a solid lime green. Though often confused with Lemonade, Sprite stands in separate class of carbonated soft drink, except in Australia and New Zealand, where it is lemonade.
