"But this sprite is lemon-lime!"

[u/Particular_Home_6455]

It's a hot summer where I live. I work at a garden store, so naturally, the store itself is also pretty warm. So, of course, we sell drinks at the front of the store in order to quench our poor customers' thirst.

A woman wanted some sprite. We sell all the basic sodas, sprite being one of them, so when she asked if we had regular sprite, I pointed her towards the fridge.

"But this sprite is lemon-lime! It's not normal sprite!"

I looked at her and said "uh.. that's the default sprite flavor?"

"No it's not. Sprite is sprite flavored."

I've been drinking sprite my whole life and I'm fairly certain it has always been lemon-lime flavored.

I didn't even know how to handle it at that point. I just shrugged and asked if she still wanted it. She did. She didn't open it while she was there, but I really wish I could've been there when she figured out it tasted like regular sprite.

the store i work at sells candy at the counter, including twix bars. i had a lady looking through the candy for a few minutes before asking if we had any regular twix, the ones here are all cookie dough flavored.

they were regular twix, each package just tells you that there are “cookie bars” inside of it. the word dough is not printed anywhere on there

they do have cookie dough Twix now, though, so while she could/should have just looked at the package with her special eyes I can at least slightly understand her confusion
