Friendly’s Fans Urge Return of Classic Wattamelon Roll Ice Cream Cake
Friendly’s, the iconic ice cream and restaurant brand, is experiencing a wave of nostalgia as fans rally for the return of the Wattamelon Roll, a summertime favorite that was first introduced in 1985. This unique dessert—made of watermelon and lemon sherbet adorned with chocolate chips resembling seeds—delighted customers for years until its discontinuation in 2021 when the company ceased production of frozen desserts.
Recently, Friendly’s attempted to tap into nostalgia with the launch of the Wattamelon Sherbet Cake. However, many fans quickly voiced their disappointment, taking to social media platforms like TikTok to express their longing for the original roll. Comments such as “BRING BACK THE ROLL!” and “Why does Friendly’s hate the original Wattamelon Roll so much?” vividly showcase the discontent among loyal customers. One passionate fan even referred to the classic treat as her "true love."
Despite the uproar, Friendly’s has continued to offer various ice cream cakes, including the Celebration and Jubilee Ice Cream Cakes, along with familiar flavors like Butter Pecan and Cookies & Cream, which remain available at major retailers and online delivery services.
The sentiment surrounding the Wattamelon Roll highlights the deep emotional ties that many have with the dessert, as well as the broader significance of nostalgic foods in people’s lives. As Friendly’s navigates this demand, it remains to be seen whether they will bring back the beloved roll that captured hearts and taste buds for decades.
Fans of the original can only hope that their voices will be heard, paving the way for the return of this cherished summertime classic.
