Tropical soft drink Lilt to be axed by Coca-Cola after almost 50 years on shelves

Coca-Cola is planning to axe the tropical soft drink Lilt after almost 50 years on our shelves, it has been reported.

The recipe, however, will remain as it is being relaunched under one of Coca-Cola's other brands, as Fanta Pineapple & Grapefruit. It will offer the taste that fans 'know and love'.

The Grocer has reported that the rebranded drink will be available in 330ml cans, 500ml bottles and two-litre bottles. Lilt has been on UK shelves since 1975, with many knowing the brand for the 1980s adverts featuring the "Lilt man" and the "Lilt ladies".
