Good Taste Lilt Jilt

**david44** · 14-02-2023, 03:31 PM

Lilt fizzy drink scrapped after 50 years of ‘totally tropical taste’
Announcement comes just hours before Tropical favourite will be stripped of identity

It is to be called Fanta Pineapple and Lemon

First they came for my Marathon now Snickers
Then they came for my Opal Fruits (Starburst?)

I recall a friend nicknamed Picnic after the choc bar that had prickly spikes of choc before it was smoothed

So ancient many of my childhood favourites vanished (Aunty at Fry's would send many for Xmas) We were told such treats were only sold in England!! Though readily available in Cardiff Cork and Dublin all the time!!

Milk Motoring
Tiffin
Five Boys
Caramac

Are any of these sold anywhere any more?

You can still buy Caramac and tiffin will always be tiffin, although Mike will probably regale you of his time with Gupta and sheep with horns.

Tiffin is an Indian English word for a type of meal. It refers to a light breakfast or a light tea-time meal at about 3 p.m., consisting of typical tea-time foods. In certain parts of India, it can also refer to the midday luncheon or, in some regions of the Indian subcontinent, a between-meal

The other 2 on your list I've never hear of and sound rather perverse

Yep, my dear mum used to make it. Most of her cooking skills were absolute bollox, but tiffin, baked alaska and home-made bread baked in the airing cupboard were ace.
