It's sad but it still exists under the Fanta name. However, what does not still exist, is the Mango & Mandarin Lilt. That was delicious. They need to bring that back! Although, most soft drinks are disgusting now since the "sugar tax". Although strangely, Lilt was the one drink that barely tasted any different to me, despite replacing half the sugar with disgusting artificial sweeteners.
This is the Lilt that still exists in my mind . When I drink from the horrendously designed by a blind kid multicolour modern can with its kindergarten type design , I see this product masterpiece in my hand in a non-recyclable steel can with a ring pull I’ve casually tossed away to Keep Britain Tidy . I see a simple white can with tropical one colour green print of coconut trees and the original compressed font logo. I then hear beautifully stereotyped reggae sang by a soothing Jamaican voice recorded in a central london studio one rainy winter morning by some middle aged white blokes with beards smoking and knocking back beer at 10am . I then see posh demographically accurate rejects from RADA on a luxury beach being served by the local LiltMan who is wonderfully jolly and chilled as he dispenses his tropical magic juice from a milk float . Bring back 1970s and 80s advertising . It sold Shit . Well. I only buy Lilt 44 years later because of this ad .
RIP Lilt
So, yeah. That announcement brought me here, too.
