They already have. They took the sugar out of it like most soft drinks in this country. Nanny state.

oooh very cosmopiltan

I'm a Dr Pepper fan, they touch that i'm going on a rampage

Ooh, good shout. I do like. Dr Pepper here and there

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

I bet you will still be able to find a dusty can on a shelf behind the counter of a fish and chip shop for years to come. Same with Vimto.

 

[The Clamp]

I like Vimto squash. The pop is a bit sweet for my buds.

It’s frothy man

Following no-guilt jilt, well-built Lilt Man seeks new tilt at employment opportunities.

(Despite driving on uneven roads and beaches, until 0.26 there was never a drop spilt.)

I feel strangely saddened by this despite not having had a Lilt in 20-odd years.

lol, I felt the same, and likewise haven't had one in decades.
Not as sad as I was when Balisto bars disappeared though.

 

[JamesAndTheGiantHead]

First they came for the Lilt, and I did not speak out.

Then they came for the Tizer, and I did not speak out.

 

[beorhthelm]

i almost cared, then realised i didnt think it was around anymore.

I’ll give it a year, it will be back.

As will Um Bongo.

 

[theboybilly]

Why can't you get Lucozade Cherry anymore, or the little Vimto squash bottles for that matter. Both good sellers

When did Balisto bars exist in the UK? Did I miss this?

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

So imagine the scene at Coca Cola HQ.
CEO- Lilt sales are way down, what can we do?
MARKETING- Let's anounce a name change. There will be uproar amongst the customers and press, we'll get so much free publicity and sales will rocket. Then, after a week, we can anounce that we've changed our mind and get even more sales and free publicity.

Indeed, after all, all publicity is good pulicity is it not?

I dare say a large percentage of the population had completely forgotten that the Lilt range still exists, so if nothing else it has reignited p;eoples memories.

I was about to post the same question.

It’s frothy man

Was that Cresta? … a polar bear with sunglasses on!

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

I was about to post the same question.

They’re very common here, in fact I have one most days with my afternoon coffee.

At first sight of this thread I thought it might be a little known US rapper

Who are the they that take away what once was ok but not today.

You wait until they rebrand football so 20 teams out of 92 play a completely different game controlled by a external video game enthusiast now that's when the shit will hit the ordinary fan.

I'm waiting for some Martians to appear and claim breach of copyright over Mars Bars. (If they don't get shot down by the US air force).
