Description
Lemon-lime soft drinks are typically clear and sometimes can be mistaken for carbonated water, but are usually sold in transparent green bottles to make the distinction clearer. Quite a few popular brands have cloudy lemon-lime drinks, as well, such as Limca (India and US).
Traditionally, lemon-lime drinks have been made at home and are typically not carbonated. This trend has been exploited by leading players offering noncarbonated version of this drink. For example, Minute Maid (Nimbu Pani) and 7Up Nimbooz are sold in India.
Over time, the popularity of lemon-lime soft drinks has grown as a result of their status as being free from artificial colors and caffeine.
The lemon-pop flavor is also used in many other food products, such as ice pops, lollipops, sports drinks, and jelly beans.
Lemon-lime sodas are a common home remedy for nausea and upset stomachs.
Lemon-lime soda is termed "lemonade" in Australia and New Zealand. What is more commonly known as lemonade in this region is called "lemon squash" (although local lemon squash drinks are usually carbonated, unlike most "lemonade" drinks).

Famous quotes containing the word description:
“I fancy it must be the quantity of animal food eaten by the English which renders their character insusceptible of civilisation. I suspect it is in their kitchens and not in their churches that their reformation must be worked, and that Missionaries of that description from [France] would avail more than those who should endeavor to tame them by precepts of religion or philosophy.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
“An intentional object is given by a word or a phrase which gives a description under which.”
—Gertrude Elizabeth Margaret Anscombe (b. 1919)
“He hath achieved a maid
That paragons description and wild fame;
One that excels the quirks of blazoning pens.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
