“The loyal fandom of this deliciously fun and fruity beverage that teases your taste buds dates back to 1955, when it first debuted on McDonald’s menus,” the company said in a news release.

They revealed that the reasoning behind the comeback is due in part to fans on social media that have “passionately asked for us to bring it back over the years.”
