The Banana Pudding Milkshake is making a return to the Chick-fil-A menu after a 13-year hiatus along with another fan favorite item.
Earlier this week, the fast-food chain announced the return of its hugely popular shake.
Making its debut in 2011, the Banana Pudding Milkshake was an instant hit with fans, so it came as a huge disappointment to many when it departed that same year.

Chick-fil-A customers have long called for the return of the milkshake on social media and there have even been a couple of petitions which have hundreds of signatures from those craving a taste of the beloved shake.
I mean, petitions are usually used for more serious matters, so it shows how highly the banana shake is regarded among foodies.

Allison Duncan, Director of Menu and Packaging at Chick-fil-A, said: "Every decision we make regarding our menu is extremely intentional.
"While our core products are what our guests know and love us for, we also like to keep variety and innovation top of mind.
"Whether we are surprising our guests with new flavors and offerings or taking classic items and bringing them back with a twist, each menu introduction is made after listening to their needs.

Chick-fil-A explains the milkshake is mixed with real bananas and vanilla wafer cookie crumbles, finished off with a whipped cream and a cherry topping.
Many have flocked to social media to express their excitement and satisfaction at the shake making a much-welcomed return.
"Make the banana pudding milkshake permanent!!!" one Twitter user insisted, while a second added: "I had the banana pudding milkshake once on the last day it was sold and I’ve been feenin ever since."
Sticking with the theme, the fast-food chain is also introducing the new Banana Frosted Coffee.

"The treat is a blend of cold-brewed coffee, the brand’s signature Icedream dessert, banana and vanilla wafer cookie crumbles," a press release describing the beverage explains.
Alongside the two new drinks, the returning Honey Pepper Pimento Chicken Sandwich and the new Spicy Honey Pepper Pimento Chicken Sandwich will make their way onto the menu later this month too.

Chick-fil-A Chef Stuart Tracy said: "When we released the Honey Pepper Pimento Chicken Sandwich last fall, not only did we receive overwhelmingly positive feedback, but we also saw our guests making their own unique twists by swapping the Original filet for the Spicy filet.
