Bring back Schweppes Orange

Many years ago as a young boy, having finished my paper round, and being hot on a warm norwest day, I would stop at the local dairy and purchase a bottle of Schweppes Orange. Now that was one orange drink to quench your thirst. You can no longer get it (not sure when Schweppes dropped it from their range). Now of course we have Duet, which is nice but it doesn't have quite that orange tang. I would love to see it back especially when we have lime which I think is a fairly recent addition to the range.
