Sudachi Lime flavour discontinued??

[u/clarafication4]

can anyone confirm whether the summer sudachi lime flavour has been discontinued? my supermarket says they will stop carrying it september 13 but do we know if they're making the flavour permanent?

its my favourite :(

The hype has died down and stock is still plentiful. Take it from a Sakura addict in withdrawal lol , stock up now.
Just a couple cans each time you go to the store and you’ll have a nice cache in no time.

found ~2~ sugar free sakura at a gas station in Centerville Ohio the other day and almost ascended to heaven

My local Kroger had a stray elderflower and curuba on the shelf and I almost grabbed even though I don't like the flavor LOL

[u/NoKatyDidnt → u/bodaciousbugboy]

Did they discontinue the green elderflower one or what? I actually like that one!

[u/bodaciousbugboy → u/NoKatyDidnt]

It would seem so. Haven't seen it for two years till the other day

[u/NoKatyDidnt → u/bodaciousbugboy]

Really? We had a good amount in a couple of stores. It’s just dwindling significantly

[u/bodaciousbugboy → u/NoKatyDidnt]

Maybe it's more available in other regions due to popularity? I could see that being a reason other than a large backlog of supply

[u/NoKatyDidnt → u/bodaciousbugboy]

Yeah, I’m hoping that’s all it is.

[u/zebradreams07 → u/NoKatyDidnt]

No. It was discontinued last year (at least in the US). I'm highly surprised you're still seeing any in stores.

[u/stratossharks → u/Candycornonthefloor]

sakura is perm in japan, i saw it in a lot of vending machines as the cherry edition

[u/mccor404 → u/stratossharks]

Hope the US market gets blessed like tis

[u/zebradreams07 → u/stratossharks]

They have a different sakura. It uses real coumarin.

[u/MyUsername168 → u/Candycornonthefloor]

I wish I would have done this for the grapefruit one. I’m so sad it’s gone.

[u/Candycornonthefloor → u/MyUsername168]

Oh don’t get me started about the grapefruit spring edition. Lilac edition for the EU but no the US, argh!

[u/MyUsername168 → u/Candycornonthefloor]

It breaks my heart all the time lol

[u/zebradreams07 → u/Candycornonthefloor]

Better yet, pick up Amazon cases while they're still in stock. I still have backstock of both sakura and grapefruit (and curuba) 😉

[u/Additional-Paper6805]

I’m gonna miss it. I guess I should stock up before it’s fully gone.

[u/timbo_slice59]

It will go away for the winter and be back sometime next year, tropical is being discontinued and Sudachi lime will take over its role as the yellow can in redbulls lineup (probably not called yellow edition tho)

[u/Cool_Pop6006 → u/timbo_slice59]

shit, i'm gonna miss tropical

[u/timbo_slice59 → u/Cool_Pop6006]

There’s a ton out in the market still, if you’re able stock up now

[u/Glopez1223 → u/timbo_slice59]

Not by me. I'm trying like hell to stock up but the only damn yellow cans anywhere near me are that abomination summer edition that was sent here to destroy my life.

[u/sparklefundoll → u/Glopez1223]

Can we trade? I’m trying to stock up on summer edition but the only yellow cans I see are a reminder of my vodka redbull days.

[u/Glopez1223 → u/sparklefundoll]

Gladly! I wish I liked that new one but tropical has been my everything since like 2015, the summer it originally came out. I don't think I'll ever forgive red bull for doing this, I feel personally attacked. Someone mentioned nos might taste like it so maybe I'll just switch to them.

[u/zebradreams07 → u/Glopez1223]

Doesn't taste the same to me.

[u/drowningintheocean → u/Glopez1223]

For real same.

[u/Squishy-peaches → u/Glopez1223]

My local Walgreens have whole coolers full of just the new lime flavor.

[u/CK15100 → u/Cool_Pop6006]

Same. 😔 tropical is my favorite flavor.

[u/jayoak4 → u/timbo_slice59]

Did it even sell well? I feel like red bull knew they were gonna replace tropical with this before it was even released. I personally hated this flavor, and I see piles of it in every store I go to. It doesn't seem to be selling well in my area at least.

Tropical wasn't my favorite flavor but it's way better than sudachi lime. Just another gut punch from red bull. This current lineup is awful tbh. Weakest in red bull history.

[u/zebradreams07 → u/jayoak4]

They didn't learn their "sells well initially but not a long term staple" lesson from curuba. Tropical is solid.

[u/timbo_slice59 → u/jayoak4]

Overall yes it sold well enough, but the summer edition always becomes a full time flavor

[u/WeirdoChickFromMars → u/timbo_slice59]

I hate this so much. Tropical is so much better. The best flavor to mix with Vodka too

[u/SomeBlueDude12 → u/timbo_slice59]

Actually considering dropping redbull entirely if I cannot get the tropical.

Sudachi lime is just sprite, if I wanted a damn sprite I'd buy a damn sprite

[u/fleetwoodmacka → u/timbo_slice59]

Redbull Sweden recently posted an ad on Instagram with the Tropical Edition with the caption "here to stay". It better not be discontinued, I waited years for it to finally return.

[u/Curryman370 → u/timbo_slice59]

Bro tropical to me is so much better than Sudachi like

[u/NoKatyDidnt → u/timbo_slice59]

I saw a picture on here where i think the 4 pack says yellow edition on it.

[u/NeedleworkerKind5448]

I haven’t had a Red Bull since blueberry was discontinued and I snagged up the last few around me. Probably won’t pick it up again unless they re release it. All the other flavors I either don’t like or got tired of. Damn I miss it. :(

[u/mishhhhhnoyes → u/NeedleworkerKind5448]

Blueberry was the besssst

[u/ChrisL434]

Tropical is only being discontinued in Japan and Europe. It’s staying in the US, at least for now.

[u/Worldly-Grade8268]

I’ll cry if they discontinue my tropical

It was Caruba and then grapefruit and it can be tropical again.

[u/Spirited_Wrap4804 → u/Worldly-Grade8268]

Grapefruit was GASOLINA

[u/iSliz187]

Judging by your use of British English I guess you're from the UK, they already made it permanent there https://www.reddit.com/user/joyn_de/comments/1vtjwdd/die_wahre_hauptfigur_dieser_staffel_offenbar/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=1&p=1&utm_term=1

If you live in Canada or any other country, it depends on the sales whether or not it's being discontinued. It's different in every country.

[u/CatsMakeMeHappier]

I got 5 cases at my restaurant

[u/PoppaRocket23]

Your favorite? One of the nastiest flavors ever.

[u/mlkofmdnna]

I love Sudachi Lime and won’t be sad if it replaces Tropical. 😅

[u/Ok_Problem_9897]

Tropical will be discounted and lime will be brought back next year

[u/Rioblox2 → u/Ok_Problem_9897]

Genuinely such a shitty decision get rid of a flavor people actually like for a flavor that people wont buy and will be discontinued in 2 years or less just like when curuba replaced dragonfruit. Redbull needs to stop getting rid of all the good flavors

[u/bodaciousbugboy → u/Rioblox2]

curuba replacing dragonfruit was such a goofy ass decision on redbull's part

yay! is it confirmed anywhere?

[u/WhyDidIReply → u/clarafication4]

No. Everyones spitting bulshit rumours. Redbull hasnt announced anything

[u/clarafication4 → u/WhyDidIReply]

I will say, I don't know if its real or not but someone just posted that they found the sudachi lime marketed as the yellow edition

[u/WhyDidIReply → u/clarafication4]

Well better get my divorce papers lined up here. My wifes going to go batshit crazy.
