FANS of the restaurant chain Friendly's are feeling nostalgic for one discontinued frozen treat, but the company has released a worthy successor.
The Wattamelon Roll, a loaf of watermelon and lemon sherbet with chocolate chip seeds, is no more.
It was debuted in 1985 and discontinued in 2021, Discontinued Foods said in a tweet on Wednesday.
"In 2021, Friendly's announced they would be ceasing production on ALL frozen dessert rolls, including this iconic summertime treat," the message says.
Many Twitter users were dismayed about the product being discontinued.
"I loved this and was wondering why I couldn't find it at the store last year," one person replied in the thread.

"I am distraught; their watermelon sherbet was the best."
Another user recalled a unique method for consuming the treat.
"I’d eat the lemon 'rind' first then go for the watermelon," they said.
"Never thought watermelon & chocolate would go together so well."

The tweet brought back nostalgic memories for another Twitter user.
"I was working at Friendly's when this was introduced. We all got a free one to take home," they said.
"As I was riding my bike ten miles to get to work, it was a shapeless mess by the time I got it home. Still tasted good, though."
But Friendly's has launched a new frozen treat to fill that watermelon-shaped hole in the hearts of many customers.
"For those needing that watermelon sherbet fix, this summer Friendly's did release the 'Wattamelon Krunch' sherbet cake," Discontinued Foods reported.
"(It) features the Wattamelon roll ingredients re-imagined as an ice cream cake, complete with whipped frosting and 'crunchies.'"
Friendly's did not immediately respond to The U.S. Sun's request for comment.
The Wattamelon Roll is not the only popular product that's been discontinued.
Jell-O recently axed its sugar free variety of lemon-flavored pudding .
