Popsicle is bringing the fan-favorite Double Pop — its classic ice pop that comes with two popsicle sticks — back to shelves thanks to an unlikely popsicle champion.
In May, Justin Bieber tweeted that he and his manager, Scooter Braun, discussed how they could not find the "double stick popsicles" and wanted them back.
Talking with @scooterbraun and we just realized we can’t find double stick popsicles!! This is crazy. @Popsicle we need those back! pic.twitter.com/s6uiiu3r8M

Still, fans were not satisfied and demanded that the coveted Popsicle Double Pops make a return to shelves. So Popsicle issued a challenge: if ice pop lovers managed to rack up 100,000 retweets on a post about the Double Pops, the brand would bring them back for the masses.
A limited batch has landed – but for 100K retweets we’ll bring back the Double Pop fun for everyone. Who’s in? RT this tweet & we’ll alert you on 7/23 with the results. #BringBackTheDouble pic.twitter.com/lAPrsuUWcO

The post aptly hit 100,000 retweets on Sunday, which happened to be National Ice Cream Day in the United States.
Popsicle celebrated the accomplishment by announcing that the Double Pops would officially make a comeback, which INSIDER confirmed with a representative for the company.
Hey Popsicle fans!! What’s better than a Popsicle on #NationalIceCreamDay? Two! We officially hit 100,000 retweets and are going to #BringBackTheDouble Popsicle. Thanks to all the fans that made this a truly happy #NationalIceCreamDay for everyone. pic.twitter.com/V00jQxTDGs

And Popsicle is leaving the flavor options up to the fans as well. The brand put out a tweet on Monday asking Double Pops enthusiasts which flavor they want to bring back.
Congrats Double Pop fans! We reached 100K RTs and are going to #BringBackTheDouble! What flavor would you want to see?

Now its up to the masses to get it right. And if you're a Belieber, you're probably going to opt for banana.
We need the original banana flavor please
