Opinions about Lilt's demise appear mixed - with some reminiscing about its hey-day and memorable adverts and others saying they haven't tried it in years.
Lilt is being axed after nearly 50 years and will be rebranded as Fanta Pineapple and Grapefruit.
The drink is famous for offering a"totally tropical taste", with one well-known 1988 advert showing the"Lilt man" delivering cans on a sun-kissed beach.The Coca-Cola Company said the drink will use the same formula when it becomes Fanta - with the first cans and bottles appearing in shops from 14 February.
Coke executive Martin Attock told The Grocer he wanted to reassure fans"absolutely nothing has changed when it comes to the iconic taste". The company recently hinted at the move when the label design changed to bring it in line with the Fanta style. Fizzy drink fans of a certain age have been mourning the loss of the drink, which first launched in the UK in 1975.
