RIP Lilt


Tastes nowhere near as good as it did when it first came out. Probably cos they've taken all the sugar out and the 400 E numbers that were in it though.
Tastes the same, save for the sugar hit, and I have the renowned palate on here for these things mate
 
Just had a thought, what is the shelf life of these drinks, must be years and years but not familiar with the process of these canned drinks?
 
It’s a Totally Tropical Waste.
I think it tastes a load better without as much sugar.
Bloody love Lilt. First the pandemic and now this.
It’s being relaunched as Fanta Pineapple and Grapefruit.

I’ll stick to me Kia Ora
We all adore a Kia Ora.

Just for me and my dawg.
I was going to say I’m not too keen on Lilt itself, but I have enjoyed saying ‘oh man, it’s total gridlock’ in a bad Jamaican accent whenever I’m ever so slightly held up.

But on checking I see that was actually an advert for Malibu, not Lilt. So probably best to ignore this post.
:lol:

Man the advert and the exotic taste of the drink was the closest I ever got to a holiday abroad when I was a.kid. It was f***ing rank to be fair.
My first holiday abroad not the lilt.

you’re nearly right…

what they’ve actually done, is reformulate the full sugar variety of almost anything, to include the new artificial sweetener, “Acesulfame Potassium” (aka AceK) to reduce the calorie count in the wave of the sugar tax and the HFSS legislation.

the only thing that’s not been touched is classic Coca Cola (full fat coke or, red coke)
everything else is full of it.

britvic have ace k’d the lot, including full fat Pepsi.

ive recently discovered I’m very allergic to aceK.

hives, tremors, diseeness, nausea, etc

ruined diet soft drinks for me. I can have widely available full fat coke, monster or red bull, but if i want something with no sugar (infinitely preferable) then there’s some own label diet drinks in m&s that use stevia.

other than that, I’m council pop all the way.

/rant
 
I used to take a 2 litre bottle to work back when I first started my job.
I’d get through that and 2 cans of pop, I didn’t even drink anything between breaks either.

Thirsty work.
It’s been a while since I’ve had it but it’s one of the reasons I don’t drink much fizzy pop anymore it was full of vile sweeteners.

It’s the same reason I stopped drinking Lucozade, it was always good for the morning after a session till it got spoilt for the same reason.
