Lipton Tea To Go - Discontinued :(

[Pennywise]

I love the Lipton Tea to Go, but haven't been able to find any in my local grocery stores, so I decided to write to Lipton and inquire. I found out that they have discontinued this product! So I have been checking out the local Dollar stores in hopes of finding some old stock. No luck yet, though.

Here's Lipton's response to my inquiry:

Thank you for writing us regarding Lipton Tea to Go. The product you have contacted us about has been discontinued. We are sorry that we do not have any remaining stock.

As you know, marketing is complex function. Our company's goal is to provide consumers with a variety of products to meet their needs and preferences. Many business factors are taken into consideration prior to discontinuing a product. However, consumer demand is a major factor. When the level of demand is insufficient to ensure that consumers receive high quality products at an affordable price, the product may be discontinued.

We apologize that this product is no longer available and hope you will continue to enjoy our products.

Sincerely,

Your friends at Lipton

Really sucks I loved that stuff too. I stocked up when my local store had it on sale for 1.99 and used the $1 coupon on it as well.

Oh, I remember these - I never got around to trying them though.

Hopefully in store, there will be markdowns. The stuff lasts forever and a day!

Oh, that is right - Safeway does that for sure! Thanks for the headsup!

If those are the little pouches of instant iced tea powder, I found a TON of them at Dollarama a few weeks ago. I loaded up on them, because they're easy to throw in a purse and I drink several litres of water a day...sometimes it's nice to have some flavour in it. Keep looking - it may take a while to get to the dollar stores there!

It's the liquid tea in pouches that you poured into bottles. Honestly, they weren't that great. One flavour was hard to mix, seemed to settle in the bottom all the time.

The ones I've got left all expire in the next 30 days, so they had a shelf life.

Hey no problem! Anytime!

If it's the powder ones yeah those took awhile to dissolve compared to crystal light ones.
