Customers beg Aldi to bring back popular drink as store confirms no plans for its return 'right now'
A FAN-favorite drink has been taken off store shelves with no plans to come back, Aldi has confirmed.
In a Twitter conversation, Aldi told a fan begging for "the best flavor" that the company doesn't plan on returning the drink.
The fan said they needed one of Aldi's go-to hard seltzer flavors.
They tweeted: "WHAT HAPPENED TO VISTA BAY!?!? I NEED COCONUT MANGO!!!"
The brand had a disappointing answer for the fan.
"No plans for that one to return right now unfortunately," Aldi tweeted in response. "We're sad too, it was one of our faves!"

They added a frowning emoji for emphasis.
"It’s literally the best flavor of any seltzer, ever," the fan said in response.
"It has been my go-to summer drink for 3 years now. Bring. It. Back. Thanks."

The drink was gluten-free and made of all-natural flavors.
Several tweets from 2019 to 2021 praised the flavor while it was still on store shelves.
"I bought a six pack of Vista Bay Coconut Mango Hard Seltzers from Aldi's for $6.55 and they f**king slap," one Twitter fan said.
A self-described "college sommelier" similarly suggested the flavor with a specific Aldi pairing: "I have discovered that the Cook House Korma Simmer Sauce over rice and veggies paired with the Vista Bay Coconut Mango Hard Seltzer slaps."
ALDI ALTERNATIVES
Aldi still has two Vista Bay alternatives in its grocery aisle, The U.S. Sun found.
Both options are 12-can variety packs with 12-ounce drinks.
There is a variety pack with four regular flavors - Natural Lime, Black Cherry, Ruby Grapefruit, and Raspberry.
The other flavor pack has lemonade-based choices - Original, Strawberry, Watermelon, and Mango.
Each box is available for $14.45, according to the listing The U.S. Sun found.
