[Lilt has been cancelled,
as Coca-Cola rebrands the
'totally tropical taste' drink to
'Fanta' after adverts were accused
of 'cultural appropriation'

The tangy soft drink is being pulled
from supermarkets in the UK after 48 years
Fans of Lilt say the drink has been
cancelled due to controversial past adverts
But others have shown support
for the move, branding the adverts 'racist']

[ 1998, two British Jamaican women

Quite right. Cancel that culture. We don't want that culture in our country. We may say we want diversity, but we don't really mean it in reality.

They better not cancel Reggae Reggae Sauce, im addicted to that stuff.

Did it turn-out that Blanche and Hazel were a couple of racists then?

Eventually they will have too. Cancel culture comes for everything. They're a ruthless bunch and they have some public support.

Yay, another manufactured ‘culture war’ story for people to pretend to be angry about

No back in 1998
it was a better time

Some are Angry
but not alot of them

"But others have shown support
for the move, branding the adverts 'racist"

Who are these people that have so much power that they can change history?

The only people angry are the ones so unbelievably sensitive that Lilt now somehow offends them.

Regular, normal people just think it's pathetic. My first reaction was laughter.

I doubt this is related to cancel culture - those adverts were over 20 years ago and no one probably even remembered them till today. I heard this story a few times today talking about the drinks waning popularity and this thread is the first time I've heard the name change being related to cancel culture

It's more likely that the drinks sales have declined over the years and they'd rather bring it under the Fanta name then keep it as a separate brand

Its to do with the Advert
The Fella that offers the White Family on the beach
the Lilt drink


That was Debated on Ch5HD AM Live
today

No, an accusation of racism has been put forward here.

I think the Police should investigate this and hold people accountable.

No Alf
they do not have time

Of course they do.

[In one advert, set in the Caribbean
and released in 1981,
a group of white tourists are seen
enjoying the drink on a boardwalk
at the beach]

Ugh, scum...

Disgusting.

How dare they?

they are still making the drink with the same recipe, who cares what it's called :laugh:

The cancel culture crew care, that's who.

I used to like this drink, haven't had it in a while though.

I'd imagine they've changed the recipe due to the sugar tax.

Sounds like you only drank it when it was advertised by using racism.

It’s a drink I loved when I was young but haven’t had it for years, it would probably be too sweet for me now

If it has Larger Grapefruit amount
it will not be so sweet

Yes the horrid dodgy fake sugar
in its place

Since when have admin. ever been allowed to have real human opinions (almost to the point of underdog-libel) on anything?

Fragile freaks

It's more the fragile people who get offended by Lilt, of all things, so easily :laugh:

What happens if a group of people decide that Fanta offends them?

Wasn't Fanta Orange originally created for Nazi Germany because they couldn't sell Coke there at the time or something?

possibly

Yes

[Fanta originated in Germany as a Coca-Cola alternative
in 1940 due to the American trade embargo
of Nazi Germany, which affected the availability
of Coca-Cola ingredients.
Fanta soon dominated the
German market with three million cans sold
in 1943. The current formulation of Fanta
was developed in Italy in 1955.]

Black Fella
delivers to the White Family

Here's Fanta using the stereotype that White people are
all acid heads.

Not one person of colour in this blatantly racist advert from years ago.

Let's get Fanta

[ #Lilt has been cancelled,
because apparently this advert is very racist,
features stereotypes, and is cultural appropriation.

Let me guess, one middle aged, white liberal complained
to @CocaCola
, they panicked, and now Lilt is dead.]

Who has said that they’re offended by lilt? Or are whingey right wingers now going back to find things to concoct false arguments with? That’s their usual tactic when they want to whip up more baseless anger

Sounds ideal for a Star front page
