RIP - Lilt

[Fab Foodie]

Is this one of those RIP threads where it's acceptable to say, 'I was never a fan,' without appearing disrespectful?

I didn't know it was still alive!

I can't even remember what it tasted like

It probably used to be sugar, with added sugar, some fruit extracts, and some fruity chemicals. Nowadays, I bet it is nearly all artificial sweeteners and fruity chemicals?

Ah, it still has some real fruit concentrates and sugar...

I used to rather like it. I probably last drank it around 20 years ago. I'm furious that they've changed the name.

No doubt you are a coke head with inferior intellect. Bow down…

I blame @Ming the Merciless. Nerve gas balloons, now Lilt !

A far superior drink to Lilt.
Made by Coca-Cola.

It's the thin end of the wedge. They'll be banning Um-Bongo next, you mark my words.

What about the poor old Lilt Man, now unemployed?

I’m sure he’ll still make a living fleecing tourists.

As long as they still make pork pies I’m really not worried.
