They are rebranding Lilt to Fanta.

Nooooo

I didn’t know they stop made Lilt?

Now I’m craving that totally tropical taste.

TheyHadGrace · 14/02/2023 19:05

Maybe that is the plan

It's been crap for a while, they've changed something in it and it's changed for the worse.

It’s one of those things that has completely irrationally annoyed me!

Didn't it used to come in two flavours or did I imagine that

What a stupid idea.

RedSoloCup · 14/02/2023 19:18

It's horrible now like most soft drinks they removed all the sugar and put artificial shit in it 🤮🤢

There was a short-lived orange and mango variety.

'Mango and Mandarin' to be exact, having Googled.

GallopingGreen · 14/02/2023 19:23

Best ad tune ever! Still know all the words! "Pineapple And Grapefruit!"
But yes, they have changed it for the worse in the past few years. Has that artificial taste. Sigh.

I tried lilt for the first time in years last summer and it was horrible, nothing like I remembered

Craving it too now. Haven’t had it for literally years. Decades even.

Very cunning of them. Now we’ll all end up heading out to buy some.

CrapBucket · 14/02/2023 19:30

We can't all rush out to buy it, there'll be total gridlock

PlaitBilledDuckyPuss · 14/02/2023 19:31

Does anyone remember 'Cariba' from the 80s, which was almost identical?

If you liked the old lilt, try 'ting' - it's Jamaican, sometimes get it in sainsburys world foods aisle...even better with some spiced rum or gin 😉

Ah, that makes me sad. A can of Lilt was my once a week fizzy drink treat on a Friday evening in about 1976 (as a 7 year old).

IsItBedtimeYetNope · 14/02/2023 20:01

What? Nooooo! I have a bottle on the go right now. Can't stand Fanta, it has a disgusting aftertaste that seems to stick my tonsils together or something. I won't buy Lilt if it's rebranded.

WinterCarlisle · 14/02/2023 20:05

Loved the original lilt. Anyone remember Quattro? That was lush.
