Lemonade

According to EU legislation, lemonade must not contain lemons or lemon flavouring; it is defined merely as sweetened carbonated water. A fizzy drink tasting of lemon can be marketed as traditional lemonade. Fizzy drinks made with actual lemons are banned by the Maastricht Treaty. This is why lemons are placed in drinks in pubs and restaurants after they have technically been sold.
