Sprite facts for kids

Sprite is a popular lemon-lime soda made by The Coca-Cola Company. It's known for its crisp, refreshing taste and has no caffeine. You might find it similar to other lemon-lime sodas like 7 Up. Sprite first came out in the United States in 1961.

What is Sprite?

Sprite is a clear, carbonated drink that tastes like lemon and lime. It gets its bubbly fizz from carbonation, which is when carbon dioxide gas is dissolved in the water. Unlike many other sodas, Sprite does not contain any caffeine, which means it won't give you a jolt of energy like drinks with caffeine might.

Different Kinds of Sprite

While the classic lemon-lime Sprite is the most famous, there are a few other versions you might see:

• Sprite: This is the original lemon-lime carbonated drink. It's known for its refreshing taste and has no caffeine.
• Sprite Zero: This version of Sprite has no calories and no sugar. It's made for people who want the same great lemon-lime taste without the sugar.

How Sprite is Made

Sprite is made by The Coca-Cola Company, one of the largest beverage companies in the world. They mix water with sugar (or artificial sweeteners for Sprite Zero), natural lemon and lime flavors, and then add carbon dioxide to make it fizzy. This process happens in big factories before the soda is put into bottles and cans.

Sprite Around the World

Sprite is sold in many countries all over the globe. It's a very popular drink, especially in places where people enjoy a refreshing, non-caffeinated soda. Over the years, Sprite has changed its logo and bottle designs a few times to keep up with modern styles.
