The Lilt Man was a precursor of zero-hour delivery contract work and a shining example of the work-on-demand benefits of modern capitalism.

Lilt is a poo poo name and pineapple and grapefruits sounds like a poo poo flavour. 3/10 overall. UK food is very hit or miss but UK sodas are legit all around terrible (sorry tango, you're just poo poo Fanta).

Also you call sprite lemonade and that's confusing to anyone who has ever had actual lemonade.

I think British lemonade confuses all forrins, nothing like Egyptian or American lemonade that's for sure!

I think most hot places call actual lemonade lemonade in general, but I don't know if British lemonade is uniquely British or if Germans and Scandis also share this weird naming convention, for example.

American Lemonade is probably alright but it probably also has more sugar in it than liquid.

They do sell just actual carbonated lemonade you know, sprite has lime in it, lemonade doesn't.

Non carbonated lemonade is better though. I'm not even fussed about the amount of sugar - both sweet and not sweet lemonade has its place, but I was very confused when I ordered one and got sprite.

What's the difference between cloudy lemonade and normal lemonade?
Cloudy lemonade, generally found in North America and India, is a traditionally homemade drink made with lemon juice, water, and sweetened with cane sugar or honey. Clear lemonade is a lemon, or lemon-lime flavored, carbonated soft drink. This type is common in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand.
