Welcome to the quiet post

welcome to the quiet post

do you ever pretend like you didn’t see something so the other person doesn’t feel embarrassed

Lmao this American girl walked up to a Hungry Jacks (Burger King) register with her drink and really, really loudly (I was at the other side of the place) proclaimed: “I asked for Lemonade, you gave me Sprite” in a really bitchy, entitled voice.

The cashier (and everyone within earshot) just looked at her like “the fuck is wrong with you”

In Australia, Sprite IS lemonade as far as we’re concerned.

Enjoy your 90c refund you cheap ass ho.

“Sprite IS lemonade as far as we’re concerned”

@fleamont can you verify?

Yeah this is correct. Lemonade is sprite. Clear fizzy liquid type thing. Solo is closer to what American lemonade is but we don’t actually have what you guys consider lemonade anyway so she was never going to get what she wanted lmao.

Y'ALL AIN’T GOT LEMONADE?!?!??

madness…

“we don’t actually have what you guys consider lemonade“

That entire continent exists on a different realm of existence

What the… Lmao

Why is it called lemonade then? 🤔

@casualswfan What is wrong with you guys?

IT IS THE SAME DAMN THING. You Yankees and your fifty brands of the same :P

LEMONADE AND SPRITE ARE NOTHING ALIKE

Things heating up in the drink fandom

I’m pretty sure the same is true in the UK at least was in 2010 except Sprite didn’t seem to be a common brand so I’d ask for Sprite get blank looks eventually figured out to ask for lemonade 

Sprite is a recognised brand here, but it’s not omnipresent, it is also considered a brand of lemonade.

This is fucked up.

Sprite: lemon-lime soda (pop/carbonated beverage). Lemonade: lemons, water, and sugar. Still.

LEMONADE IS NOT CARBONATED WHATT HEFUCC CK ARE YOU ALL DOIGN

Living? Sensibly?

Also on what planet does Sprite have lime in it.

Sprite, the lemon-lime flavored carbonated beverage, is made on Earth.

Earth is the third planet from the Sun, the densest planet in the Solar System, the largest of the Solar System’s four terrestrial planets, and the only astronomical object known to harbor Sprite.

The people of Earth are known as “Earthlings” or “Spriteloids” interchangeably (although not to each other).

At least in the UK, if you order lemonade you’ll sometimes get Sprite, but if it’s proper it’s a lemon soda akin to the Italian gassosa - less sweet than Sprite.

Oh shit, I’ve had gassosa, it’s AMAZING.

I just want to say that the whole ‘lemonade and Sprite are interchangeable’ is pretty common throughout Asia as well, in my experience

@bre-e-e-e what madness is this?!?!?!?!

@kingkilling-and-stormlight so… what you are all saying is. Lemonade is … not fizzy… in America?

You guys have orange juice at least, right? Grapefruit juice? In the US, Lemonade is a juice, like orange juice, but made with lemons instead of oranges. You can buy “fresh squeezed lemonade” at many restaurants and fast food venues. Typically it’s diluted a bit with sugar water, so the sour flavor of the raw lemon juice isn’t so overpowering. 

In the south, it’s very common for people buy whole lemons and make their own lemonade at home using a citrus juicer.

In Germany, you’d ask for “Limonade” and yeah, you may get a Sprite or a Fanta; it’ll always be a fizzy nonalcoholic drink and usually come in lemon, lime, orange flavor. Only in healthfood or hipster establishments would it ever be an actual juice drink.

As a fan of homemade rosewater lemonade, I am twitching at the thought of sickly sweet carbonated beverages that taste like they were invented by someone who may have been in the same room as a citrus fruit once but can’t remember what it actually tastes like being called lemonade.

Wtf did y'all think beyonce was talking about????

oh wow I hadn’t even considered that. Like millions of people worldwide hearing the album title but not understanding what lemonade means even on the most superficial level.

This is so epically disturbing. Lemonade is such an integral part of spring and summertime. I just … this breaks my brain and my heart. The cultural references too. Just, all the American shows that reference lemonade and people in other countries are thinking Sprite? There’s a reason kids do freshly squeezed lemonade stands. You can’t buy it like that from a store. And there’s nothing quite like screwing it up and getting the sugar ratio wrong. And parents grinning through the too sour or too sweet mess and praising your efforts. Lemonade Is a Thing.

Wait does that mean Aussies make Shandies with sprite?????

Does this mean a significant portion of the global population don’t know what to do when life hands you lemons?

Yes, Australians make Shandies with our carbonated soft drink lemonade, though if you’re using it as a mixer, you’re less likely to be using Sprite and more likely to be using Schweppes, which looks like this:

Like. We absolutely have a concept of flat, juice-based lemonade, but as an earlier commenter said, it’s a niche hipster speciality rather than the default, and even then, it’s still going to be premade rather than fresh. 

OH GOD THAT’S WHY AMERICAN CHILDREN CAN MAKE IT AND SELL IT SO EASILY. I ALWAYS WONDERED HOW KIDS COULD MAKE A CARBONATED DRINK AT HOME.

Reblogging for Beyonce. This thread is gold.

@cresselian

Songs that never fail to make white people beyond turnt

I, a white people, can confirm.

drop whatever you’re doing right now and climb a tree

its pitch black outside, and freezing cold. I think ill climb a tree tomorrow

you climb that fuckin tree right now

I’ve literally never seen this post on my dash when it is not after dark and cold as balls. I’m beginning to think this is a conspiracy to get us eaten by some nocturnal tree demon.

everybody put in the tags at what time you saw this

what the fuk u even suppose to do with ur hands while ur getting ur dick sucked

clap

a truck just stopped in the middle of the road in front of the house and they turned their headlights off wtf

they got out of the car with flashlights and walked the road and one of them in in the front yard now. they didn’t hit anything what are they doing??

hold the fuck up dudes there’s some shit going down hold up

okay okay hold on one of the guys lives down the street okay I feel a lot better now bc i know him

they came to the house so i grabbed one of my dads handguns and hid it in my waistband and when i answered the door the neighbor guy was asking for my dad but its just me here and okay all 3 of them looked SHOOK and they were like “uh there was some skinny naked dude running around in the road can we use the landline to call 911” bc theres no cell service out here and what the fuck what the fuck what the fuck what the fuck

they described the guy as having shoulder length bleach blonde hair and that’s what one of the neighbors across the street looks like so i tried calling them and no one answered and so i called dad and he’s on his way home

911 is going to come by and sweep the woods

the police still haven’t shown up and okay dad just got home and was like “you hit him???” and neighbor dude was like “no???????” and dad was like “your car’s been hit” and so we all went and looked and the truck they parked in the road has been PROPER fucked by something like it’s been hit by something one of the headlights is in the ditch now and it’s leaking antifreeze but that doesn’t make sense bc no one’s been down this road it’s a dirt backroad and no one’s been down it since they turned the truck off and none of us heard anything hit it??????? i am freaked the FUCK out right now i am shaking so bad we’re waiting in the house for the police 

ALSO I JUST REALIZED there’d be skid marks if the truck was hit right??? there werent any. there werent any fucking skid marks oh my god

AN officer showed up and you could tell he was super apprehensive to search the woods alone after seeing the truck and hearing what happened so neighbor guy got his rifle out of his truck and dad grabbed one of his rifles and i still have the handgun and we’re preparing to search the woods because i do not want to be in the house alone and fuck my adrenaline is pumping and im worried because if it is my neighbor???? he’s a friend of the family??? and like what the fuck what the fuck what the fuck what the fuck what the fuck

we were out there for like 30 minutes and we found a trail of bare footprints and like broken branches and stuff like someone came stumbling through and there was one stick near the end of the trail that had broken and it had blood on the end of it and then the footprints just fucking stop. like there weren’t any trees within jumping distance or anythigng and the footprints just fuckign stopped and like every thign was dead silent the wind had stopped there weren’t any coyote noises or anythig it was just completely dead quiet and we got the fuckout of there because like it was so creepy and we went back to the house the blonde guy owns and his car wasn’t even there he’s not even home no one’s home im freakign the fuck out because who was it then

the police officer left and was like “just call if you see him again” and the neighbor and his two dudes left and its just me and dad now and its like eerily quiet in the house because honestly what the fuck… what the fucking fuck was that.., he said after he calms down a minute he’s gonna try to call our neighbor again and after that call the neighbors sister to see if she knows where he is

oh and yeah yeah they were able to start up the truck and they drove it home and they’re gonna take it in to a shop in the morning to see if anyone could figure out what the fuck happened to it

dad got ahold of his sister and he’s in fucking massachusetts visiting family for the holidays who was that in the fucking road

So this happened today
