Just like someone selling lemonade but calling it “Sprite”.

In Australia, we actually do use "lemonade" to refer to drinks like Sprite, lol. We don't really have the American-style non-carbonated lemonade.

You got it backwards. He meant that it's the same as selling lemonade while trying to pass it as Sprite because of the branding.
