Chick-fil-A unveiled brand-new drinks and "retro-inspired" merchandise on Monday, sparking buzz - and debate - among fans and employees.

The brand is offering three core flavors: Coca-Cola, Dr. Pepper and Sprite, with additional options including Fanta, Powerade, Hi-C and Barq's Root Beer.

In addition to the frosted drinks, Chick-fil-A is also inviting fans to participate in its Golden Fan Cup sweepstakes.

A total of 3,000 Gold Fan Cups are available - and if a customer purchases a classic cup and receives a Gold Fan Cup, the person can receive free Chick-fil-A food for a year.

The celebrations are "nods to Chick-fil-A's 80-year heritage," said the press release. 

In a post on a Reddit forum dedicated to Chick-fil-A, users shared reactions to the frosted sodas ahead of the rollout.

"Frosted Dr. Pepper sounds fantastic," one person wrote.

"The Hi-C one sounds promising," another chimed in.

"These were tested in [Southern California] and they were pretty good. Not too expensive from what I recall too," a third user said.

Still, despite the buzz, one customer was unmoved by the new packaging.

"I don't care [about] the packaging. Just give us lower prices," the Redditor wrote.

Likewise, some people claiming to be Chick-fil-A workers expressed reservations.

"These are so messy to make," another wrote.

Fox News Digital reached out to Chick-fil-A for additional comment.
