Burger King fans are excited to get their hands on its famous Frozen Cotton Candy Cloud beverages.
The burger chain’s fan-favorite drink is returning to participating locations nationwide on Monday, July 14, due to popular demand.
The icy blue drink made its debut last year and instantly became ‘the most popular frozen beverage’ on the menu in years.
Burger King’s announcement on Instagram was flooded with comments from eager fans who are glad the drink is ‘finally’ coming back.
‘OMG!!! Finally!!! Dreams do come true!!,’ an Instagram user wrote, adding they hope it will cost $1.99.
‘They need to make these permanent they’re the best drink burger king ever had,’ an Instagrammer wrote on a post created by Snackolator.
With approximately 19,000 restaurants worldwide, the drink’s return is one of many offers restaurant chains are competing against in the 2025 summer fast food war.
Prices for small, medium and large sized Clouds start at $1.49, $1.79 and $2.29, with the option to added a cold foam cloud topping for an additional 70 to 80 cents.
Burger King’s Frozen Cotton Candy Cloud drinks are returning to menus on Monday
Frozen Cotton Candy Cloud beverages debuted at Burger King in April 2024
The cotton candy-flavored treat is not the only offering dropping at participating Burger King restaurants next week.
The restaurant chain is also bringing back its classic iced coffee and debuting its all-new Mango Peach Lemonade.
Fans can also enjoy Burger King’s new BBQ Brisket Whopper, the offering to kick off its new ‘Whopper by You’ platform.
The platform is designed for fans looking to dream up and submit ideas for Whopper creations.
‘As the brand known for “Have It Your Way,” we want to continue letting our Guests tell us what they want – and when it comes to our iconic Whopper sandwich, they have a lot of ideas,’ said Joel Yashinsky, Chief Marketing Officer, Burger King US&C.
The platform could potentially lure in fans who aren’t afraid to get in touch and express their creative sides.
Burger King also threw shots at McDonald’s earlier this year after the chain announced it would extend operating hours at restaurants.
It comes as the chain has been fighting to boost dwindling sales.
Burger King has suffered financial difficulties since 2008 and mass closures
Burger King’s fall began in the 2000s, as franchisees started closing underperforming restaurants.
Sales declined after the recession in 2008, and its profits have yet to return to its prime.
Franchisee TOMS King filed for bankruptcy in January 2023 and received bids from companies wanting to purchase 82 of 90 restaurants.
Meridian Restaurants Unlimited quietly closed and sold 70 Burger Kings after filing for bankruptcy protection two months after TOMS King.
This year appears to be no different for Burger King, which suffered a 1.3 percent sales decline in this year’s first quarter.
Its financial difficulties also come while facing a lawsuit alleging its ads exaggerated the size of Whoppers.
McDonald’s, a prime competitor and the world’s largest fast food chain, has also been struggling for many quarters, including a 3.6 percent sales dive in the first quarter of this year.
DailyMail.com has reached out to Burger King for comment about the drink’s upcoming return.
