I grew up in the UK, lived down under too for just over 5 years, maybe I just missed the Australians calling it lemonade, as it was always lemon and lime with those I know. Was definitely lemon and lime in the UK and not considered the same as lemonade, sprite became the cooler choice over 7up when I was teenager in the 80’s. If you asked for lemonade you wouldn’t get either of those, or folk would check if sprite was okay instead. Maybe it is generational, the young crew do something different, or maybe a lot of people can’t detect lime flavour…I dunno, but in my experience they’re not treated the same.
Just one Internet strangers experience though.

You’re not thinking of lemon lime and bitters, are you?
