History

The predecessor to this brand, Lift was introduced in Australia in the 1990s as a replacement for the Mello Yello brand. Mello Yello had replaced Leed Lemon Soda Squash, which was a variant of the Leed Lemonade brand. The only flavour in the Australian Lift range (besides limited-time flavours) was Lemon. In 2015 it was rebranded as Fanta Lemon Lift and then back to the original Lift in 2016 with a flavour change, supposedly making the drink more sour.

Lift was discontinued in the Australian market in September 2022.[1][2] The Sprite brand was used to launch a new zesty lemon flavour variant with caffeine and marketed as Sprite Lemon+.[3] This flavour was announced by Coca-Cola Europacific Partners on 13 September 2022, following months of rumours on social media.[4] Unlike Lift, Sprite Lemon+ contains caffeine.[5]
