thread_title:  Difference between red and white lemonade 

message: I am pretty sure the drink Zeke got hopped up on was (though it may have been referred to as 'red lemonade'), in fact, 'red creaming soda'.  This is an Australian name for a raspberry/vanilla tasting red soft drink.  If the term 'red lemonade' was used, that may have been to avoid concerns about using Cadbury-Schweppes' trademark 'red creaming soda'.
I'd LOVE it if you could get real Irish red lemonade in Australia.  Paddy's and red was a favourite drink in Ireland for me. Slaintè! BaHaReep 07:23, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

message: Hi,
Changed quite a bit, so I'll run through it here:
*removed the bits about minerals and lemonade being generic terms for anything. Although they both are, in my experience, I don't think it's relevant here
*added what flavour the red is. open to correction on this, but I'm almost certain it's just a lemon flavoured drink. White and red do taste different.
*removed the unnecessary distinction between three different whiskeys mixed with red lemonade. Whiskey and red. We get it. Noted the particular popular brands, though.
*removed 'kick in the bollocks'. Seems like bollocks to me, frankly, can't find any reference to it anywhere that didn't originate in Wikipedia, have never heard of it, and don't think it's notable enough for a mention if it exists, and has an expletive in the name for an article on a soft drink
*would also like to remove the 'disputed' tag, but not sure why it's there, so won't for the time being.
There we go.

replies: text: I'm wondering the same thing. I came to this page to find out what red lemonade is, and all I found out is that it's a soft drink (I'd guessed that) that might taste 'different' from white lemonade. (I say might because the same sentence also says that brown lemonade tastes different, while the brown lemonade page says it doesn't.) Then there's the unsubstantiated claim that people miss it, which implies that there's something about it that people miss, and a myth about the chemicals in it with no information to refute it. Why was red lemonade created? Why is it only in Ireland? Is it just white lemonade with red food colouring, or does it have some kind of flavour from red fruit or another red chemical? What flavour? --Angelastic (talk) 20:42, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  So what makes it red?  

message: This article says brown lemonade has "a different taste to the white variety", but the Brown Lemonade article says "There is very little difference in taste between the two".  Can somebody who knows get it right? 68.238.229.137 (talk) 18:20, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, Lemonade should be capitalised - it's the name of something. Will get on with it!--Tuzapicabit (talk) 22:20, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

message: Can someone make a decision for consistency in titling and either change Brown Lemonade to brown lemonade or change red lemonade to Red Lemonade? 68.238.229.137 (talk) 18:30, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: P.S.

message: I'm not sure why the reference to red and brown lemonade being available in Scotland keeps getting removed.
All three varieties of lemonade are readily available in Northern Ireland, Southern Ireland and Scotland, as anyone who has lived or travelled throughout the three countries can confirm.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by PentneySam (talk • contribs) 22:59, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Existence in Scotland 

message: Trying to dig up some references, struggling to find anything direct enough. This article about an Irishman who became a chef in America notes that he sells (amongst) other things "red lemonade", which is an indicator of it's status among expatriates. 
A travel article from iexplore talks about mixing red lemonade with whiskey (common enough) and more unusually mixing red lemonade with Smithwicks to make a shandy which isn't something I'd heard of before. 
An article in the Irish Independent talks about the EU regulating red lemonade Quote:"Regulating the bend in bananas and the colour of red lemonade gives EU bureaucrats a bad name." Which indirectly gives you some idea where the notion of red lemonade being banned is coming from, there was some change made in the dye at some point, I believe Cochineal was or is used. -- Horkana (talk) 14:49, 26 July 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: An older article discussing Euromyths should be good enough. -- Horkana (talk) 14:52, 26 July 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  References 

message: I've added a few "citation needed"s here.
* Who says that red lemonade is popular?  Is there a survey?  Sales Stats?
* Who says that it's a popular mixer?  Is there a survey?  Sales Stats?
* Where is there evidence of the urban myth about red-headed children and red lemonade?
* How "popular" are any of these urban myths?  
I also removed "officially" from the phrase "officially lemon-flavoured".  There is no office charged with certifying whether or not a soft drink is lemon-flavoured.
I structured the two urban myths into a list.
Some of the paragraph in relation to Brown Lemonade seems superfluous.  The existence of Brown Lemonade, its lemon flavour, and its difference in flavour to white and red lemonade are all covered in the opening paragraph.  Also, why is it being discussed in an article on Red Lemondade, shouldn't be a linked reference to a page on Brown Lemonade?

thread_title:  Lots of citations needed.  This is a very generalised, unsourced article. 

message: Looks like this page was merged into Lemonade back in 2016, but none of the information in this page was carried over.
It was very confusing going through the Irish Cuisine page and finding that its links both to this page and to the page for Brown Lemonade both went to Lemonade without that page actually having any information on the two drinks.
