The fizzy drink was available from 2005 to 2007 before being axed
Coca-Cola Lime has made a surprise return to UK supermarket shelves, 17 years after being discontinued.
The beverage, originally available from 2005 to 2007 before being axed by the drinks maker, has been spotted by excited shoppers at Farmfoods stores across the country.
It combines the classic Coca-Cola taste with lime juice, offering a convenient alternative for consumers.
The innovative blend eliminates the need for customers to manually add fresh lime slices to their beverages, as noted by the drinks manufacturer.
