Are they to blame for Lilt being discontinued?

No I don't think so, it was probably just a poor seller and Ting isn't that popular. I don't think it's been stocked in Tesco that long, but it was always in Morrisons, so maybe they upped their distribution game.

I looked it up and even the Fanta drink that took over the Lilt legacy has gone as well. I hope the Lilt ladies have a good pension.

My sister is convinced the discontinuation of Lilt is some kind of racist conspiracy as it's mainly drunk by Black and Asian people (no data to back this up). We want our totally tropical taste back. Or at least some warning it was being discontinued so we could stock up, they promised it wasn't when it became Fanta. Liars 

It was going for crazy prices in eBay once we discovered you couldn't buy it anymore.

Aldi still do their rip-off.

My husband bought that this week but it has a weird aftertaste, I'm assuming because it's zero sugar, the aspartame etcs often leave a weird taste in the mouth. Apparently Sainsbury's do one too, luckily a Sainsbury has just opened in my little town so I'm going to see if they stock it.

Ting is clear of absolutely all of those. But I do quite like the Sainsburys one.

Ting is good but missing the Pineapple

I was more a Ka drinker myself. The grape flavour is nice, and Karibbean Kola. Just make sure you never abbreviate it...

That's true. May I recommend Pineapple Ka then. Not as good as the greatest which is Black Grape, but very decent.

Ever had Bigga? I love their grape flavour, the only problem is you won't find it around as much as Ka.

I miss Lilt, any grapefruit based drink really because I love the taste. You can't drink them if you take a slow release tablet of any sort because the grapefruit strips away the slow release part.

See, with my sweet tooth, it's the Fruit Punch that's my go-to. That said, I do love the Black Grape and Pineapple ones. The Kola's nice, but I'm just not bothered about colas in general.

Not a soft drink, but I really like grapefruit IPAs - Magic Rock's High Wire Grapefruit is delicious, and perfect for summer.

Black Grape

I love a black grape Bigga, and grab one every time I'm lucky enough to see one, usually when I'm in Tottenham.

The demise of Lilt is sad. I have fond memories of it's compeititor, Quatro. Which was a very similar drink. Wikipedia tells me that it a version of it can still be found in South America.

Does anyone remember cans of pineapple and grapefruit Crush? I think you can only get bottles now in some places.
