Social media goes bananas for the return of a popular Chick-fil-A shake

The Chick-fil-A Banana Pudding Milkshake is making a much-anticipated comeback.
The milkshake will return for the first time in 13 years on Aug. 26, the same day as a new variation of the hit Honey Pepper Pimento Chicken Sandwich, fast food chicken chain announced Monday. It will be available nationwide while supplies last.
“I can’t tell you the number of times I’ve gone to family reunions or spoken to someone at the store who found out I work at Chick-fil-A, ‘When is that Banana Pudding Milkshake coming back?’” said Chick-fil-A Chef Christy Cook.
Chick-fil-A is also introducing a new, limited-time Banana Frosted Coffee that will be a “blend of cold-brewed coffee, the brand’s signature Icedream dessert, banana and vanilla wafer cookie crumbles”, according to a news release from the company.
Social media users reacted rather enthusiastically as news of the milkshake’s return spread. Here’s a roundup of some of the best social media posts.
Chick-fil-A’s Instagram post announcing the return of the milkshake and sandwich had over 50,000 likes and nearly 1,000 comments.
