“You were on a work call. Those always either take a minute or an hour, never anything between. I got hungry. So … here I am. And I’m capable of using GPS, Pete. I’m not a complete knob.”

Then, approximately three seconds later …

“Uh. And GPS is a goddamned liar just like Google. This place apparently doesn’t exist and is now a … what is this, even? I think they sell bicycles. Weak. I wanted pasta.”

“So am I going to come get you or do you need me to lead you to the nearest Italian place? Because I can do both. Could also leave you there to just wander around along while I listen to you bitch.”

REMEMBER KIDS !!   some very important relationships are PLATONIC.   some are maternal, paternal, friendships, siblingships.   they do not all have to revolve around romantic/sexual attraction.   please don’t ever think that i wouldn’t write with you if you didn’t want to bring a romantic/sexual ship to the table. I LOVE PLATONIC RELATIONSHIPS.   THEY ARE UNDERRATED, UNDER EXPLORED, AND LOOKED PAST WAY TOO OFTEN.    THEY CAN BE THE MOST IMPORTANT RELATIONSHIP TO A CHARACTER.   PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE.

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”

[freshest-tittymilk]

@fleamont can you verify?

[movednowbye-deactivated20221103]

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.

[freshest-tittymilk]

Y'ALL AIN’T GOT LEMONADE?!?!??

madness…

Why is it called lemonade then? 🤔

[fiontan]

@casualswfan What is wrong with you guys?

[seascrapes]

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

[fiontan]

LEMONADE AND SPRITE ARE NOTHING ALIKE

[verdytai]

Things heating up in the drink fandom

[fairytalesandimaginings]

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 

[questions-within-questions]

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

[larena]

This is fucked up.

[tparadox]

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

[zarekthelordofthefries]

LEMONADE IS NOT CARBONATED WHATT HEFUCC CK ARE YOU ALL DOIGN

[taiey]

Living? Sensibly?

Also on what planet does Sprite have lime in it.

[romansnow]

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).

[elsandifer]

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.

[froborr]

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

[elexuscal]

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

[kingkilling-and-stormlight]

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

[bre-e-e-e-deactivated20170219]

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

[lierdumoa]

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.

[monanotlisa]

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.

[minim-calibre]

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.

[orcasocks-blog]

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

[scuttleboat]

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.

[maramcgregor]

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.

[fastphoridae]

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

[pandor-pandorkful]

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

[fozmeadows]

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. 

[jeremiagoeswoah]

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.

[ryblogs]

[clarknokent]

I want all these UK people to understand that lemon juice, water and sugar, In combination (lemonade) Has been out far longer the creation of sprite made by cocoa-cola company. Like wtf?!

[imrubio]

Dope as fuck lolll

I’m dying at the fact that the UK Beyhive thought Beyoncé was talmbout Sprite this whole time lmaooooooooooo!!!

Showing up out of the blue like this was probably breaking so many rules of etiquette - particularly with so much time having passed since their last interaction - but that wasn’t going to prevent Jack from strolling on up to the agent, hoping nothing had changed in terms of being allowed to freely enter and roam the country.

“Been a while, Wisdom. How ya keepin’?” Busy, he suspected. The mutants and costumed freakshows weren’t the only parties to see a rise in numbers over the years, after all. More and more monsters were coming to terms with who they were, and all the better for it, if you ask him. “Ah know ya prob’ly don’t remember me, but ah got a favour t’ask. Some kinda quid pro quo, if ya will.”

[misterwisdom]

“I remember you. You’re the one who gave me a fake name.” Vague in Pete’s line of work, but he did actually remember the guy. For better or worse, he had been keeping his ear to theground when it came to the other. Partly to be cautious, partly because it was simply his way of handling things. However, he hadn’t expected to see him again.

Resting his hands on his hips, he looked the other over--quietly noting that he looked like he had been doing alright since their last encounter. “So, what is it you want from me, random person who’s name I don’t actually remember since I figured you were lying?”

       “ mine are fairly aggressive anyways and my hands aren’t exactly soft, “ she rubbed her palms together before smoothing them on the outside of her thighs with a heavy sigh.  “ he … he’s a good guy, a bit impulsive and protective but a good guy.  I’ll bring him in out of uniform, if you don’t mind.  it’ll be a domestic dispute before it becomes a professional interaction and I don’t need those lines blurred up just yet. “

        she paused before looking up to meet his gaze.  “ I can pay for repairs, if that’ll help matters. “

“Eh. I’ll stick with Jono and his cold hands then. At least he knows how I like it.” He ran a hand through his hair before looking over to the kettle he kept in his office. Getting up, he started the water for a quick cuppa. “Don’t worry about. I mean, I expect to see him in my office, but it can wait til the morning. Got plans for the evening with Jono I’d prefer not interrupted.”

 He waved off her offer. “Nah. Don’t worry about it.

       “ if anything, you’ll get a telepathic job and we’ll count it even, “ she mumbled as she tried to wrap her head around everything that happened.  so much for it being a nice afternoon as part of a quiet day.  “ I leave the idiot alone for a day and he tries to blow up my job.  by the way, if you don’t mind a little off the books task management I can get your balls out of a vice and not leave a fingerprint or trail. “

“If you could do that, I’d forget about the handjob, but there are laws against that sort of thing.” Not that he was telling her no. Sometimes it just paid to have a level of plausible deniability in case things went tits up. “He’s really protective of your honor though. It’s rather sweet. Certainly more than I would do if someone asked for a handjob from Jono. Although, he has cold hands.”

[misterwisdom]

       at first it sounded obvious why he picked her over someone else to apprehend the culprit.  but then she flipped open the first page of the file and her entire posture and expression shifted.  “ yea … I understand, “ she sighed, pinching the bridge of her nose with her free hand.  “ sorry for him and thanks for sending me instead of someone else.  anyone hurt? “

“Nah. Shot an arrow at me, but I don’t think he’s the first to do that.” Closing an eye as he thought it over, he eventually decided that Clint definitely wasn’t. Crosing his arms over his chest, he looked back at her. “Not to mention, I made a crude joke about you owing me a number of handjobs for the effort I put in to get him hired. Which still stands, even if he blew his chance. I had to blackmail a number of people who can have my balls in a vice.”

[misterwisdom]

“There was a situation at 13 today. American can in using explosives. I figured it might be best to send you after him.” he slid her the file , pointedly keeping an eye on her as he did. “You understand.”

       “Too late now. This is on you.” He turned around and started walk away, although not before waving his hand. “Goodbye, Wisdom. Next time think twice before choosing your words to me.”

“On me? Mate, you just commited a terrorist act. Your girlfriend will explain that to you when she comes to take you in.” Waving it off, he pulled out his mobile to send a message to Braddock.

       “You said I didn’t get the job anyway. It didn’t cost me anything.” He put his bow back on his back and frowned. “Now, if you hired me, I could pay the glass I broke with work. It would be like washing the dishes in a restaurant.”

“I told you you owed me for the sheer amount of favours I pulled to get you hired since they don’t take kindly to hiring former criminals.” He gestured around to the glass. “This, however, is a bit harder to make disappear. And there aren’t enough blowjobs you or Betsy could hive me to make it happen.”
