雪碧

Sprite is rendered as 雪碧 (Xuě bì) in Chinese. 雪 means 'snow' and 碧 means 'jade-green/blue-green/crystal clear'. Together 'snow jade' perfectly evokes the clear, refreshing quality of a lemon-lime soda. The name is a creative mixed rendering that captures the brand's fresh, clean image better than a direct phonetic translation would.
