DEVOTED Snapple fans are calling on the company to bring back an iconic carbonated beverage.
Snapple was founded in 1972 and has since rolled out some fan-favorite flavors, including one people are begging to see return.
Some of the brand's popular offerings include Lemon Tea, Kiwi Strawberry, and Snapple Apple.
However, one particular flavor has Snapple fans up in a tizzy—Cherry Lime Rickey.
In 1983, Snapple launched a soda line that included flavors like Creme D’Vanilla, Jamaican Ginger Beer, and of course, Cherry Lime Rickey.
The sodas were put on the back burner once Snapple launched its iced tea and juice cocktails between 1987 and 1989.

Discontinuing a thirst-quenching drink like Cherry Lime Rickey hasn't sat well with some fans.
Snapple fanatics took to the local paper and Twitter to plead with the brand to bring back the bubbly beverage.
"What? Snapple sodas? Yeah, remember when you made those? Cream D'Vanilla, Jamaican Ginger Beer, Tru Root Beer, Peach Melba and the most mourned Cherry-Lime Rickey?" Merritt Martin wrote to the Dallas Observer.
"On a fine spring day like this one, seems a shame to not be able to pop open a Snapple Cherry-Lime Rickey and quench that thirst with a tart and sweet Rickey wash."

"So Snapple, tell us. Why did you take the sodas -- specifically, the Cherry-Lime Rickey -- away? And will you ever bring them back (say, for an anniversary promotion or some such marketing ploy)?" Martin asks.
"They need to bring back the flavor Cherry Lime Rickey!! Where has that been???" another fan said on Twitter.
Another Twitter user said: "@Snapple please bring back the cherry lime Rickey soda, you can literally corner the market!!!"
"I need cherry lime Rickey in some form more than I need oxygen (real)."
To which Snapple replied: "Many happy memories of that one. We'll keep your suggestion in mind."
Cherry Lime Rickey is just one flavor that Snapple has discontinued.
Lime Green Tea, which appeared in the 2000s, was discontinued after customers complained about the lack of green tea flavor.
And though the Samoan Splash juice cocktail was reminiscent of an island getaway, it didn't draw too many fans.
