Being proper nouns, I would think “Sprite” and “7 Up” would be the same in any language. But, the French do have that whole “Royal with Cheese” thing going on. Even that is a bit hipocritical in that they should probably call it “Royal avec Fromage”.

In canada, we called it “pop”. When I first got here, the McDonald’s kid would look at me like an alien when I said it.
