McDonald's has seen your e-mails, they've heard your cries, and now, they've announced that Hi-C Orange Lavaburst is returning this year.

The drink will begin rolling out in select locations starting this month, so to see if any near you will have it, you can check the McFinder starting Monday February 15th.

"Y'ALL WE DID IT. Hi-C Orange is coming back," a tweet from the company reads.

Hi-C Orange Lavaburst is a non-carbonated beverage that was replaced by Sprite Tropic Berry a few years ago. The former drink had been on the menu for about 60 years before being removed.

The removal of the drink from menus sparked outrage from fans of the famous drink, leading McDonald's to contemplate its return. In a press release, McDonald's reveals fans have "passionately asked for us to bring it back over the years," CNN reports.

It will return to all restaurants in the U.S. by summer 2021. The drink first became available at McDonald's back in 1955 before it disappearing in 2018.

Additionally, McDonald's has announced that they will be giving away free fries every Friday through June during a promotion they've dubbed "Fry Day." All you have to do is make a purchase of a minimum of $1.

Customers can pair their free fries with shakes, burgers, or even more fries.
