Fans demanded it, Whataburger delivered: The Sweet & Spicy Bacon Burger is now back

Sometimes fans' voices are actually heard. Just ask the trekkies whose letter writing campaign helped the original Star Trek live long and prosper. Or, #Brexit voters who thought their votes wouldn't actually count. (Boo, hiss, too soon.) Actually, just take it from fans of Whataburger's hefty Sweet & Spicy Bacon Burger, who busily begged the social media savvy company all year for the return of last summer's hit limited-time-only sandwich.

Some might say, rumors of its return signaled more anticipation than the resurrection of Jon Snow. 

And so, the long, bitter winter of discontent is over: Whataburger's special release is back on menus as of 3 p.m. on June 27.

The recipe "proves opposites really do attract," a release says, with an "ideal balance of flavors" that include two 100 percent beef patties, bacon, grilled onions, Monterey Jack and American cheeses, mustard and Whataburger's Sweet & Spicy Pepper Sauce.

-- Get ready to say goodbye. It's back, again, for a limited time.
