Thanks hun, as it's not really about the Lime love/hate relationship. It's about bliddy Tesco throwing their weight around and causing pain to soooooo many businesses and their customers. Small businesses are constantly being swallowed up and poo'd out by the unforgivable-tesco-sherman-tank of retail, but now it seems to affect large worldwide companies such as Crusha.

I don't CARE if I'm one of the minority of people who LIKE the LIME. I care about having the choice of whether I buy it or not, from Tesco, Asda, Morrisons, Somerfield, Waitrose, Co-op, Budgens, Spar.... the list is endless.

If it REALLY is a minority taste, then adjust stock ratio accordingly, Tesco!! Is it THAT hard? For every 4 bottles of rancid chocolate crusha you buy, order just 1 of LIME.

Oh, see now I just depressed myself again. There'll also be no more Choc/Lime milkshake opportunities. Sigh. The LIME was the only thing that made a choc milkshake bearable for me.

Anyways, please please help. I don't beg much (Ask Grinch, he'll tell you!) but I really do need your help guys. I want to make my little boy at least ONE Lime milkshake during his childhood, just like the Lime milkshakes my Mummy made for me when I was little, and oh how I loved her so much for it.

Lime and Raspberry are the ONLY flavours for milkshake. I also love lime, and have one at a little coffee shop here in town every time I visit. I'm gutted that it seems I won't be able to have them any more

have you tried getting it "bulk" from Crusha

i cant get seabrook crisps in wales, so they will send me a box of 48 from bradford (mixed flavours of my choice)

it works out cheaper,

Copy of my e mail to Tesco.

Dear Tesco,

I first became disenchanted with you when my partner bought one of your jars of petit pois and baby carrots, only for us to discover on opening that the supposed petit pois were in fact processed peas. Disgusting things. Totally ruined our Sunday roast.

Now, to my horror, I hear that you are discontinuing Crusha Lime milkshake. That is the final straw in a never to be had again milkshake.

Consider us lost as customers forthwith.

Fed-up of Rugby.

I called Crusha yesterday and spoke to one of their marketing and production managers. It seems that they have discontinued the whole flavour, as TESCO have told them they won't stock it. As Tesco is the market leader, Crusha cannot justify making the syrup if Tesco boycott it. It's apparently one of the more expensive syrups to produce. Crusha said Makro had the last remaining stock of Lime. They have also sold-out. I called them too as I have a Makro card.

BUT, Crusha have the formula for the syrup. They ALSO told me that if Tesco LISTEN to customers, albeit it in the minority, then Crusha WILL produce this syrup once more. Hence my desperate plea to all my fellow bikers.
