Then you'll want to be at the Wells Fargo Center on Wednesday night.

The Sixers are pulling out all the stops in their campaign for Joel Embiid's All-Star bid. This latest strategy is pretty brilliant.

Fans can buy 16-ounce Shirley Temples for $5 at all bar locations in the arena during the Sixers-Knicks game.

Here are the promos by the Sixers, courtesy of CSNPhilly.com's Jessica Camerato.

For those that don't know, Joel Embiid and the beverage have been connected ever since a report surfaced in 2015 highlighting Embiid's dietary habits, mentioning his apparent love for a pitcher of Shirley Temples.

From that day on, Embiid loves to poke fun at the topic, frequently mentioning the drink.

Stay thirsty, Joel Embiid.
