Sprite is a lemon-lime flavored soft drink with a crisp, clean, and refreshing taste. It was first developed in West Germany in 1959 as "Fanta Klare Zitrone" (Clear Lemon Fanta) and was introduced to the United States in 1961 as Sprite. It's a great choice for those who prefer a non-caffeinated, clear soda with a zesty, citrus kick.
