Irish Examiner view: Not-so-sweet deal for fans of Lilt

The rebranding of the drink with the "totally tropical taste" is woefully short on poetry.

Lilt is to go through a rebrand, and will henceforth be known as Fanta Pineapple and Grapefruit.

Fans of sweet treats had to grapple with bad news yesterdaywith the announcement that Lilt is no more.

Having graced grocery shelves for almost 50 years, the sweet tropical drink has been absorbed into the greater Fanta family, and will henceforth be known instead as Fanta Pineapple and Grapefruit.
