To be devastated that Lidl seems to have stopped selling Deluxe range tonic water in cans

It was the absolute best and I loved it

No space in any of the lidls near me so I don't think just sold out

I hate that they just randomly stop selling stuff. Their fizzy pineapple water was amazing, reminded me of a pina colada. And their spinach and ricotta pizzas were awesome and they stopped making those too. Why?

Saltedcarameltiramisucheesecake · 26/09/2026 21:15

They stopped doing those tasty nduja pizzas too. 😒 they were a Saturday night favourite here.

Whorulestheroost1 · 26/09/2026 21:16

Sounds like a life changing situation.

CurdinHenry · 26/09/2026 21:17

They have a responsibility damnit

Sounds like a bit of an overreaction but I don’t like when supermarkets stop stocking things I like.

Hotafternoon · 26/09/2026 21:22

Nooo! I have 2 in the fridge and 3 in the cupboard. It's the only one I like. I'll have to go on Monday and buy a couple of packs if they have any. 😪

Please report back if things remain buoyant in your area but I think it seems like a company wide decision

I am almost relieved I finished my leftovers so I don't feel a pressure to savour them

Maybe Aldi has an alt

I have a feeling that the reason I don't buy Aldi's tonics is they have sweeteners in them. I feel sure I checked them ages ago but stuck with Lidl's.

Our Lidl stopped selling the Mexican Lime and Elderflower sparkling water last year. I still miss it

If you can get to a Waitrose they do own brand sweetener free canned tonic. I don't know how it compares but I like it and it's much cheaper than Fevertree.

Thank you I'll try

Also thinking about a campaign for reinstatement tho

And if it's just in my area I'm moving!!!

I make my own tonic water. A bit of a faff but it lasts for ages and tastes amazing.

Email your local branch. My Dad asked them to keep carrying a coffee they'd dropped and they started carrying it again. He said branches had a bit of control over stocking some items based on the email they sent him.

Went into Lidl today and they had no packs of their small tins of tonic water at all.

I checked the bottles of tonic ingredients and they have sweetener in them. Won't be buying those then.

Bloody hell Lidl, what's up with you? 😡

Waitrose own brand if you have one nearby, in cans because the bottled stuff isn't fizzy enough. No artificial sweeteners, only one as far as I can tell except Fever Tree and other high end brands, which are all silly money for pointless little cans.

It disappeared at the beginning of COVID and came back only about a year ago, much joy for me.

Hotafternoon · 29/09/2026 12:33

I also buy Fevertree flavoured sodas also in small cans from Waitrose, I really like the blood orange one with gin and also ok with gin is Dash, springwater with lime. They do a few other flavours too.

Take that Lidl now you've dropped the deluxe tonics, I will be buying elsewhere, your loss! 😆

We can't just lie down and let this happen!! (It genuinely did lure me in for other stuff too)

Lidl have stopped selling the bottled soda water I used to buy there, I went to three, in three different areas and not one of them had any. I did email them and the reply was useless. I buy my soda water in Tesco now but it goes flat much quicker than Lidl’s one did. I don’t want to buy cans of it as I would probably only use half of it so wojkd end up throwing flat soda down the sink.

Junmaro · 29/09/2026 18:47

I love their ginger shots sold in a bottle. Hope they’re not next on the hit list.

clareykb · 29/09/2026 18:49

Aldi have fake fever tree mini cans..they are my go to don't live near a Lidl

Cheeseplantalltheway · 29/09/2026 18:51

They used to do an amazing round garlic bread. It was dairy free (which I need). Now they only do the one with cheese 😡

MachineBee · 29/09/2026 18:59

There are so many things Lidl have stopped selling or are very flaky on stocking. Hi-Protein Chickpea Fettucine hasn’t been in store for months, their own brand washing machine limescale inhibitor, seed mix packs are rarely ever on the shelf but they still have a gap. I’ve not seen the Lidl tonic water either for months. And if their kombucha disappears I may stop going to Lidl altogether.
