Lilt for sale for £1,000 as eBay sellers cash in on axing of iconic brand

Canny eBay sellers are cashing in on the news that iconic fizzy drink brand Lilt has lost its sparkle and is to disappear from the shelves in the near future.

Brand owner Coco Cola has confirmed that the name is set to disappear after after 50 years as it is rebranded to Fanta Pineapple and Grapefruit, although the soft drinks giant has confirmed that the recipe will stay the same.

However that's not stopped fans taking to social media to mourn the passing of the drink which was originally said to have a 'totally tropical taste' and eBay sellers have been quick to try to exploit the situation.
