Sprite Cranberry, as its name implies, was a Cranberry flavor of Sprite, similar to its successor, Sprite Winter Spiced Cranberry. Its color is clear.
Reception
The taste of the flavor proved to be massively successful, where it reached a legendary internet meme status from 2018 onwards.
In 2019, since the reformulation of Sprite Winter Spiced Cranberry, it did receive enormous backlash from most people that liked the original Sprite Cranberry flavor, even gone as far and wide to bring back the original.
