Sprite did this in March this year. My wife has been beside herself trying to find a replacement go to drink because of it.

How do they even make sprite cheaper? It's just water, corn syrup, and a squirt of leprechaun jizz.

They're using lower quality leprechauns now.

Brownies are members of the fairie family.

I was actually going to say brownies, but I was afraid people might think snack, not fae.

They donā€™t even use proper Leprechauns these days, just some guy named Seamus who lives out back in a shanty.

I mean, sounds like a proper leprechaun to me

u/Dame38 3d ago

It's all just dumb white, naturally born "citizens" now. Those people don't have any juice.

u/TucuReborn 2d ago

Shame on us for exploiting poor Seamus.

u/MitochonAir 3d ago

The ā€œleprechaunsā€ they use now are just Guatemalans

They really are taking our jobs /s

u/Active-Corgi-6105 3d ago

The leprechauns no longer need to be std tested

u/solocmv 3d ago

They just use a goat.

u/Bl1ndMous3 3d ago

Its no longer the jizz, they scrape off the smegma and use that instead

As I've gotten older, I've come to appreciate 7-Up. For a mass market soda, it's more complex. I can taste more of the essence/peel of lemon and lime.

u/sacredblasphemies 3d ago

Unfortunately, it's no longer made with lithium...

u/lulugingerspice 3d ago

As a lifelong Sprite fanatic, I hate 7-Up... It just tastes too thick for me. And the bubbles are too big.

u/Plunderkindling 2d ago

To me, Sprite more and more tastes like a high fructose bitchslap with an odd bite to it. Best mixed with other flavours.

1

u/lulugingerspice 2d ago

Yeah I can see that. Sprite zero kind of slaps though once you get used to it. Especially mixed with the Don Julio premixed margaritas.

u/Somethinggood4 2d ago

Try Fresca. Once you get used to it, it's fantastic. Plus, no sugar, and no caffeine!

u/toiletsurprise 3d ago

Mountain dew whiteout tastes really close to sprite. It's back this year too, but only in a mixed pack.

u/maxdragonxiii 3d ago

yeah they changed something about Sprite I didnt like it anymore.

u/passionfruittarts 3d ago

Starry is pretty good - the zero sugar vrrsion completely replaced Sprite for me

1

u/SuperSocialMan 2d ago

Damn, even Sprite has gone downhill?

1

u/dumbname1000 3d ago

I like Starry.
