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. There have been quite a few popular brands with cloudy lemon-lime drinks as well such as Limca (India and US).
Traditionally lemon-lime drinks have been made at home and are typically non-carbonated. This trend has been exploited by leading players offering non-carbonated version of this drink. For example, Minute Maid (Nimbu Pani) and 7Up Nimbooz 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".
