Because what we call “lemonade” in Europe is not the same drink as what is called “lemonade” in the US, although we usually have our own variation (citronnade in France) that corresponds to the American one.
Since I don’t speak EU, I can only tell you, what it’s called in German. And that would be
Zitronenwasser
Zitronenschorle
Süßer Sprudel
Wasser mit Zitronensaft und Zucker
selbstgemachte Limonade
I don’t really know. It doesn’t have much cultural presence here. We have our own drinks that we drink all the time and have names for like Bionade, Schorle, Fassbrause, Radler.
Even the real Lemonade in Europe is fizzy, so it actually is closer to Sprite than you’d think.
Obviously Spite isn’t really lemonade it’s soda, but that’s also not really a word that exists in Europe. It’s known about and it’s understood especially in more recent times, but historically it’s not really a word you’d commonly use.
So because Lemonade is sparkling, and the word soda isn’t really used, you can kind of see how people would then say well Sprite is Lemonade.
Lemonade for me (and google) is a homemade recipe with lemon + water with or without sugar syrup, I guess it depends on the country. I also never see Sprite at parties… just Fanta, Cola and our sodas

We know what you call it, you’re just fucking wrong.
Oh really, then let me just go find some “alcoholic” cider.
Linguistic redundancy at its finest
These are the same people who drive on the wrong side of the road and weigh themselves in stones.
Didn’t know all of europe is now the UK
Get antibrexited nerd
Most of our schools are still safe tho :)
You’re not wrong, but it is a bit like bringing Hitler into the conversation.
The US has never had Hitler, feel better now? Can we talk about soda and lemonade now?
I think that native americans could say something about you never having had a hitler.
Several even, depending on who you ask.
But you lot sure seem keen on getting your own one.
Yeaaaah. I knew it might’ve been a bit much the moment I said it, but I just left it. Sorry bout that.
“it’s provocative, it gets the people going!”
What’s lemonade in the EU, then?
Or rather, what do you call water, lemon juice and sugar blended together?

Speaking to 28 countries with 24 languages “WhAt Do YoU cAlL tHiS?”
Not that the UK is in the EU anymore, but we’d call that “Still lemonade”, still meaning not sparkling.
Not to be confused with “Flat lemonade”, which would just be regular “sparkling” lemonade which has lost its bubbles and now tastes rancid.

How does water + sugar + lemon juice = a fizzy drink?
You guys don’t have kool-aid either do you?
Bro never heard of carbonated water
In Germany, Limonade is usually from oranges, so Fanta.
What is this madness? Limonade is made with lemon and lime. Or at least “limon” which is a hybrid of lemon and lime.
In that case we would usually specify Zitronenlimo.
Most places all fruit flavored pop are called lemonade. Where I live even mint and coke can be called that.
I don’t think I’ve ever had real lemonade, only sprite.
Grab a glass, fill it with water, squirt of lemon juice, few tablespoons of sugar, stir, enjoy
Coke is actually lemon flavored though
