CHICAGO, Feb. 10, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- We know fans
of Hi-C Orange Lavaburst, AKA Hi-C Orange, have been craving
the iconic beverage since it rolled off national menus in 2017. To
those who have passionately asked for us to bring it back over the
years, we're excited to say we "C" you. Your tweets, DMs and
petitions asking for its return gave our social media
community manager a LOT of content to choose from for an important
menu team meeting this morning…and thanks to you, Hi-C Orange
Lavaburst will return to McDonald's menus this year as a regular
soft drink option, available nationwide by this summer.
You heard that right – let the happy tears and Hi-C Orange
flow!
Hi-C Orange Lavaburst will begin rolling out in select locations
this month and will be in participating restaurants across the
country by June, so fans can kickstart summer with this refreshing
favorite. Until then, customers can input their zip code into our
Hi-C Orange tracker (mcdfinder.com) – which will be updated on a
weekly basis starting Monday – to find the closest McDonald's
already offering the delicious orange drink.
When asked for a comment following their successful meeting, our
social media manager said, "WE DID IT! sure, i created the v
impressive Hi-C® Orange Lavaburst presentation for my boss, but i

the years, countless tweets and even IRL petitions are what brought
Hi-C back. thx again for the pep talk this am and for making it
easy to spread this little bit of joy - seeya in the DMs to

The loyal fandom of this deliciously fun and fruity beverage
that teases your taste buds dates back to 1955, when it first
debuted on McDonald's menus. The non-carbonated Hi-C Orange
Lavaburst drink returns to menus alongside the carbonated Fanta®
Orange offering, making our legendary orange drink roster once
again complete.
Keep your eyes peeled and prepare your taste buds,
Lavaburst lovers – you can get a Hi-C Orange for yourself soon via
carry-out, drive thru, the McDonald's
app or McDelivery.
