Squirt is grapefruit soda not lemonade
- In some dialects, "lemonade" is any citrus soda
- And doesn't hold a candle to Ting

Squirt isn't lemonade, it's a citrus soda. And also pee.
- In the UK lemonade is a carbonated soda. I thought that was the root of the joke, with a cultural confusion. The other commenters seem to think it's a pee joke? But if it was, it wasn't funny so I think I'm right.
  That said, my interpretation isn't funny either? What is this post?
  
  Think it’s referring to this kinda squirt.
- Citrus soda is lemonade in certain parts of the world. Australia for example.
  
  What is the word in such places for the non-soda drink?
- You saying I drank pee in the 90s?
  
  I forgot about Surge
  
  Who didnt?

Squirt is a grapefruit flavored soft drink, here. Come to America if you want Squirt that's not just regular lemonade. ;)

Someone will have to explain that one to me, but I have a feeling is something gross.
- I think the joke is that "squirt" from women is pee and people do a lot of mental gymnastics to avoid saying they're getting pissed on. Like an equivalent to a yellow snow joke. It also hinges on the fact that Squirt the beverage is a grapefruit soda that also doesn't taste anything like lemonade
  
  The porn industry's marketing is pretty wild. They rebranded watersports and made a generation think that losing bladder control during sex was a desirable outcome and that it wasn't pee.
  What is sad is that it worked because basic human anatomy is not common knowledge.
  
  Squirt soda is delicious. Coulder the better, great summertime drink.
  
  I've fucked around and made some pussyhavers cum before but only one time did one of them decide they wanted to "show off" by squirting. It was not my favorite
- The post isn't funny at all. The "joke" is urine.
  
  I prefer fart jokes but it's a slow joke day.

I know calling lemon/lime flavored soda lemonade is a regional thing, but I don't remember what country it's from. Australia, I think?
- at least australia, and england too i believe
- Basically all the countries except those in North America, I think?
  
  Wow, I had no idea it was that widespread. I don't look down on it or anything, languages be localised and all that, it just seems odd to me from a practical perspective, because what I call lemonade and lemon-lime soda are super different to me and lumping them under the same name seems like it'd make it difficult to specify which one you mean, but maybe it's kind of like sparkling water, it's still water but with bubbles? Idk flat sprite is still a lot different from lemonade but still vaguely lemony... I think it's one of the neater differences in terminology between countries tbh.

Reminds me of Pocari Sweat drink, which doesn't taste like sweat.
