I am so angry with coca-cola for removing diet coke with lime from the shelves! If you/coca-cola believe that the ginger/lime addition is going to satisfy the lime only customers you are sorely mistaken.

I read on a website that the original diet coke with lime is available online at amazon fresh — look it up yourself — people are selling it for as little as $17 a 12-pack up to $87 a 12 pack. Really!

These 2 drinks are not even similar. Please please please restock the store shelves with diet coke with lime.

I agree with you, I have been all over looking for the diet coke lime. So I couldn't find it anywhere and decided to look up to see if it was discontinued. I ran across your comment. I can't stand the diet coke ginger lime, I tired it out of being desperate. YACK! I have tired to even mix a little lime in a diet coke..nope not even close. Sadly to say my drinking soda days are over, unless I find something and I'm sure I won't. Wow I can't believe they could could take that away from us not even caring if we were happy and loved it, for that fact alone I won't touch the ginger lime. How stupid to put a spice in a drink with lime, watch next cinnamon or all spice...when you have a good thing leave it alone, this is where companies go WRONG!..Abilene Ks, not a happy camper.

I totally agree. Diet Coke with Lime is the only diet coke that I liked, and I liked it so much more than any other diet cola that it was all I ever bought. I've noticed it disappearing from the store shelves, but didn't know it was discontinued until just now. I will be looking for other diet soft drinks now, and I guarantee you, with the diet soft drinks coke has, it won't be one of them.

it was a MAJOR jerk move on Coke's part to screw us on diet coke with lime. i will NOT switch flavors, none are as good as the lime. looks like time for me to go off soda entirely.

I am really ticked! I had trouble finding Diet Lime Coke in December, and now I find out (once I'm out of it) that it's totally discontinued? What a bunch of garbage! The ONLY diet soda I like, and it's gone... I don't want ginger, or some new junk. Give me back what I want! Obviously they're still making it if you can get it for insane prices on Amazon... give me a break! Coke, I've had it with you. No more Coke products in my house!

You get that upset over a diet soda?..You have issues if this bothers you so much. Water is what you should be drinking, not water mixed with phos. acid, and alittle bit of flavor and other chemicals.

And you should be a vegetarian, and attend church regularly, and drive a 2000 Honda, baby blue, and have 2.25 children, and live in Georgia...I could go on, but it sucks to have someone tell you how to live.

I totally agree I am so disappointed I have been drinking Diet Coke with lime since it came out and loved it. That Ginger Lime is a poor substitute. Can't you please bring it back? I just can't believe it. Its selling on line for some very crazy prices Disappointed in Cleveland

I'm also very disappointed that the Diet Coke with lime is no longer available. Have been buying for years and now it's gone. The new lime ginger substitute is no where near as good. Didn't they learn their lesson with "new coke"? Why do we need to mess with something that is not broken? Please bring back the Diet Coke with lime!

I also, as many have stated, am VERY Upset; I want my Diet Coke With Lime! I have called the Coke Company many times & they tell me All the stores here in Pa. that Have it, NOT, they Don't! It is a shame us Customers were NOT Notified of the Change. I Just Don't Understand...You have Loyal Customers & We Are Treated This Way; it IS A Disgrace! I have bought it through Amazon & I can't Continue to afford the prices, it is Highway Robbery! My husband & I even drove to Delaware & the few Grocery Stores we went to, Did NOT Have it Either...We ALL DESERVE An EXPLANATION...Also by the way I along with people I know have tried the New Flavors...HATED THEM ALL!

I am so mad that they took Diet Coke with lime off the market. Like the others, that is the only drink that I drink. Why didn’t they tell us this was happening so we could stock up. The ginger/lime drink is absolutely horrible. Bring it back

I am so sad my Diet Coke with lime is gone. It was the only soda I drank. The lime ginger is not nearly as good. Amazon has Diet Coke with lime for $50.00 for a 12 pack. REALLY! Coca-Cola you have made a huge mistake! Pepsi has a new customer!

I am upset about Diet Coke with Lime being discontinued too! I do not like the new flavors and I can’t understand why Coke wants to alienate their current loyal customers. I started a petition on Chang.org asking Coke to bring back Diet Coke with Lime in hopes thAt they will respond if there are a lot of voices.

I thought the Diet Coke Lime disappearance from my local market was due to reorganization of the vendor. Now I see that it has been discontinued and replaced with some nasty substance (I have tried it) in cans that do not fit into your car carriers or into your refrigerator soda dispensers.

I see that the stock has tanked as well.

I suppose it's time for me to move on to a company that sells standard sized cans and something that tastes better than the new "millennial" pap from Coke.

I live in England and have been drinking this product from the day we got it here. Like yourselves I have had trouble buying it and have stocked up when I could. I am honestly shocked that it has been discontinued. We now have new peach and mango flavours both of which are vile. Please please please please bring back diet lime coke

Please do not discontinue Diet Coke with Lime. This is the only Coke that I drink because this is the only one that I like. This Coke has been my stable in my weekly drinking habit of Coke. I will really miss this drink--do not discontinue producing this drink. Thank you.

Please bring back Diet Coke with Lime. It was the only diet soda I would drink. It's especially great with Captain Morgan's Limited Edition Spiced Rum; really smooth.

This is the only soda my husband will drink. I had bought all I could find and he is down to his last 12 pack. This is a shame that Coke has done this to people without any notice. He won't even try the ginger lime, not that I blame him, sounds like something you cook with, not something you drink. COKE, ARE YOU LISTENING? We want out diet coke with lime returned to us.

I'm so happy to find these comments. I haven't liked a soda for many years. I drink tea, coffee and water. Then I recently discovered Diet Coke Lime and loved it...Only to have it discontinued. I, too, bought a 12-pack of the ginger stuff and it takes like the old Tab drinks, which is pretty much like flat Coke. Why in the world would Coke discontinue a product that, judging from these comments, was popular? Bring it back, please, Coca-Cola.

The new ginger lime tastes about as refreshing as I imagine battery acid does. It's flat, like out of date Diet Coke with Lime or plain Diet Coke. Give us the choice. Put both on the shelves in the same amount and see which sells. Whoever thought the Ginger Lime could replace the real thing has loved Coke Products her whole life, like I have.

For all you diet coke with lime lovers, it's too bad the Coca Cola Co. decided to stop making it. But, happy to tell you that the Pepsi Co. is making diet pepsi with lime. And, it is a very passable second choice. Much better than what Coca Cola is making now, which is nothing. Try it. I'm pretty sure you'll like it as I have. I certainly don't mind switching brands if I can get what I want.

Now that Diet Coke with Lime has been discontinued I no longer purchase any Coke products. The new flavors do not appeal to me as much as the simple lime flavor. Please bring back this products.
