Fruity beverage Um Bongo, first introduced in 1983, is now available to buy exclusively in all Iceland shops as well as online.
One shopper cheered online: "This used to be my absolute favourite drink."
They weren't alone, as dozens of others chimed in and agreed: "Used to love this!"
Those who want to get their hands on a bottle of it can pick up a litre for just £1.

One woman even said she referred to her unborn child as "Um Bongo" before it was born.
Um Bongo was discontinued in 2003.
More than a few customers said they remembered enjoying it as kids and would introduce it to their own children now.
However some said the new version doesn't taste quite the same.

One disappointed shopper said: "It doesn’t taste how I remember it did, I don’t think it’s as nice".
And another added: "Bought this today. 100% not as good as I remember. [sic]"
How to save money on your supermarket shop
THERE are plenty of ways to save on your grocery shop.
You can look out for yellow or red stickers on products, which show when they've been reduced.
If the food is fresh, you'll have to eat it quickly or freeze it for another time.
Making a list should also save you money, as you'll be less likely to make any rash purchases when you get to the supermarket.
Going own brand can be one easy way to save hundreds of pounds a year on your food bills too.
This means ditching "finest" or "luxury" products and instead going for "own" or value" type of lines.
Plenty of supermarkets run wonky veg and fruit schemes where you can get cheap prices if they're misshapen or imperfect.
For example, Lidl runs its Waste Not scheme, offering boxes of 5kg of fruit and vegetables for just £1.50.
If you're on a low income and a parent, you may be able to get up to £442 a year in Healthy Start vouchers to use at the supermarket too.
Plus, many councils offer supermarket vouchers as part of the Household Support Fund.
The popular drink was accompanied by an iconic song advert released in 1984.
One woman said she saw the juice had been brought back and immediately started singing.
Just last month more Brits were thrilled to see another nostalgic treat had made a comeback.
The 90s pizza flavoured Cheesestrings, first launched in 1996, had reappeared in shops after being discontinued in 2008.
The treat is available to buy now and can be snapped up in Sainsbury's or Morrisons.
It'll set you back £1.75 for a pack of four.
