Fans are begging Popsicle to bring back 'classic' discontinued treat - but it's not the frozen snack you'd think

POPSICLE fans have been distressed to learn their favorite treat was discontinued by the brand, but some are holding out hope the item could make a comeback.

Over the years, Popsicle has released many sweet desserts that have become standbys in your kitchen freezer, but not all have been meant to last.

One classic dessert that not everyone might remember is the Popsicle Lemon-Lime Shot.

The mini popsicle was placed in a tube and gave the perfect refreshing summer flavor of the lemon and lime combo.

Despite the sweet not being in store aisles for years, some fans have continued to ask Popsicle for the treat to make a return someday soon.

“BRING THIS CLASSIC BACKKKKK,” one customer wrote on X (formerly known as Twitter).

In response, Popsicle replied: “We'll be happy to shoot our shot with our team to let them know you'd like to see this treat return.”

MORE DISCONTINUED TREATS

While Popsicle might be in hot water with some diehard lemon lime fans, several other companies and retailers are also facing backlash over their discontinued items.

Aldi, for one, has discontinued several popular products in recent months.

One curious shopper asked on X: "Will Bake House Salted Caramel chocolate chip cookies be back this year???"

Aldi arrived with some disappointing news soon after.

"It doesn't look like the Bake House will be available, but we will have salted caramel cookies under another brand," Aldi said.

And at Kroger, shoppers have been disheartened to learn a beloved mustard seasoning was removed from store shelves for good.

The Prime Seasonings Kicked Up Mustard Season & Rub flavor featured a mix of salt, molasses, mustard, garlic, spices, onion, vinegar, and turmeric, and it regularly complemented chicken or pork chop dishes.

Despite it being an unpopular decision with shoppers, Kroger confirmed the seasoning would no longer be available.

“We were able to research the Kroger Prime Seasonings Kicked Up Mustard Season & Rub. Unfortunately this has been discontinued,” Kroger said on X.

Kroger also got rid of its famed Italian Soda product, and shoppers were shocked to find their favorite beverage suddenly missing.

"Kroger hey there, I haven't seen your Simple Truth Italian sodas in a while. Does my location just not carry it or has Kroger stopped selling it in general?" one customer asked on X.

The store replied: "Hello! Thanks for your question. Unfortunately the Simple Truth Italian Sodas were discontinued. We'll share your feedback with our product teams. Have a great day!"

RETURNING ITEMS

Despite the array of product discontinuations, shoppers oftentimes succeed in getting their favorites back in stores.

Mountain Dew has brought back its Mountain Dew Pitch Black just in time for Halloween.

The beverage is described as a "DEW with a Blast of Dark Citrus Punch Flavor with Other Natural Flavors."

Fans have already been ecstatic to get their hands on the item.

"I've been longing to get my hands on a Mtn Dew Pitch Black for a long time now!" one fan wrote on X.

The returning drink will also appear alongside Mountain Dew Pitch Black Zero, which has no sugar.

Meanwhile, Taco Bell pleased fans when it brought back its rolled chicken tacos.

Each dish features marinated shredded chicken rolled up in a corn tortilla and deep-fried.

The comeback item costs $2.99 for two or $5.49 for four.

Customers have also been begging Aldi to bring back a beloved croissant bun product.

Kroger has also confirmed a fan-favorite ice cream flavor is gone, and shoppers can’t get behind the store’s replacement.
