Knorr is a German brand, very agressively marketed here in Sweden:
http://www.knorr.de/
(in German only)
Maybe they are best known for their "Aromat" powder, one of the usual
"flavour enhancer" blends of MSG, salt, onion... been around since
the 60s. Nowadays I guess they are the symbol of "Hey, let's take
this really simple recipe that anyone could make, freeze dry it, put
it into a colorful bag, and market, Market, MARKET it! Soon noone
will know how to cook anymore, and we will make Big Bucks!" (oops...
that was wrong, I mean "Big Euros"...)
I would guess Tequila Lime was deleted from their product range,
since people who would appreciate that taste doesn't normally belong
to the Knorr customer sphere...
