Sprite Lemon-Lime Soft Drink

Sprite is a world-renowned lemon-lime flavored soft drink that was originally created in Germany in 1959 under the name Fanta Klare Zitrone. It was later introduced to the United States in 1961 by The Coca-Cola Company to compete with 7 Up. The brand has since become the leading lemon-lime soda globally, known for its clear, crisp taste and caffeine-free formula.

Manufacturing of Sprite occurs in numerous facilities across the globe to meet local demand, including various bottling plants in the United States, Mexico, and Europe. The product is owned and managed by The Coca-Cola Company, one of the largest beverage corporations in the world, headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia. In various regions, local subsidiaries or licensed bottlers (such as Coca-Cola FEMSA in Mexico) handle the production and distribution under the standards set by the parent company.
