London, UK - The Spice Girls sparked a nostalgic frenzy on Wednesday with a cryptic tease about a major announcement the following day, but when Thursday rolled around, the news wasn't quite what fans had been expecting...

The iconic girl group shared an Instagram post on Wednesday teasing an announcement on September 10 at 10 AM ET under a clip set to their smash-hit song, Wannabe.

Immediately, fans were convinced that the surprise had to be a comeback album or even a reunion tour.

But once the countdown came to an end, it was revealed that the announcement was actually just a music re-release.

The Spice Girls have compiled all of their singles into vinyl and CD box sets that also include original artwork, demos, and B-sides.

It's safe to say that this didn't meet expectations – cue the millennial crashouts in the comments.

"*puts credit card back in purse*," one user wrote, while another said, "This was it? I literally was looking up part time jobs to buy tickets for tour."

"This meeting could have been an email," another user quipped.

The Spice Girls sparked some similar reunion chatter earlier this year with the 30th anniversary of their musical debut.

The group hasn't performed with all five members in tow since the 2012 Olympics in London, but they have remained close over the years, often appearing in photos from birthday celebrations and other personal events.

Could there still be some hope after all? Stay tuned!
