Lilt pulled from shelves after 48 years, replaced by ‘Fanta Pineapple and Grapefruit’
“Some have even hypothesised on social media that Lilt may be becoming part of the Fanta brand, and one even went as far as producing their own news broadcast-style video.”
The firm’s British vice-president of commercial development insisted the drink is the same, and simply has a new name. Martin Attock said: “Our main priority with this announcement is to reassure Lilt’s loyal fan base that absolutely nothing has changed when it comes to the iconic taste of the drink they know and love.Lilt became a feature of popular culture with its Lilt Man parody adverts in the late 1980s, while a decade later it was promoted by two Jamaican women known as the Lilt Ladies.
The drink was also a favourite of former Taoiseach Enda Kenny’s in his satirical portrayal by Oliver Callan.
