สไปรท์ เลมอน-ไลม์ · Sprite lemon-lime

A clear, colourless carbonated lemon-lime flavoured soft drink in a slim 325 ml can, the Thai-market version sweetened with a mix of sugar and low-calorie sweeteners.

Not cooked: carbonated water blended with sugar syrup, acids, flavouring and sweeteners, then canned. Served chilled or over ice — the can even says 'shake gently, serve cold, avoid direct sunlight'.

How locals eat it

Drunk very cold, usually poured over a tall glass of ice — Thai diners almost always add ice rather than sipping straight from the can. It is a standard partner to spicy food like som tam or grilled pork.

When: All day: with lunch at a food court, as an afternoon cooler, or mixed into drinks. Slim 325 ml cans are the common single-serve size in convenience stores.

Versions: Thailand also sells Sprite Zero Sugar and, at times, lime-and-salt or cucumber-flavoured limited editions; the standard can here uses a reduced-sugar blend due to Thailand's sugar tax, so it tastes slightly less sweet than the European vers

Ordering tip: Ask for 'sai nam khaeng' (with ice) — 7-Eleven and food courts will hand you a cup of ice free or for a few baht, and the can stays cold longer than a room-temperature bottle.

Customs vary by region and family.
