Ask and you shall receive. As long as you get 2 million tweet likes.

Two years ago, Wendy’s discontinued its Spicy Chicken Nuggets. And many were sad — and that includes Chance the Rapper.

Recently, Chance tweeted out his desire — nay, need — for Wendy’s Spicy Chicken Nuggets to return.

“Positive Affirmations for today: I WILL have a good day, I Will succeed today, Wendy’s WILL bring back spicy nuggets at some point please please Lord let it be today,” he tweeted.

Well, Wendy’s — whose social media game is always strong — took it and ran.

“Y’all keep asking, so here’s your chance. The people in charge say if you guys can get our tweet (this one right here) to 2 Million likes, they will bring SPICY CHICKEN NUGGETS BACK. Let’s freakin’ do this!”

And from there, it was on.

Along the way, it was a fun ride on Twitter.

And then, finally, it happened.

Wendy’s tweeted out “THIS IS NOT A DRILL! Spicy Chicken Nuggets are coming back! Y’all are crazy! That took like a day and a half! WHAT?! We don’t know when yet, gotta figure it out, but soon, and ok, LOSING IT RIGHT NOW THIS IS AMAZING!!”

As the chain said, it’s not clear when it’s happening. But it’s happening.
