What you didn’t spend, was money on them folded ass ice cream cones.”Ĭhoco Tacos were created in 1983 by Alan Drazen, a Jack & Jill Ice Cream Company employee who struck gold at the intersection of frozen dairy and wildly inauthentic Mexican food.

The iconic Choco Taco - a sugar cone folded into the shape of a taco, filled with vanilla ice cream and partially coated with milk chocolate and peanuts - is over, while monstrosities like this strawberry-milkshake pouch and the Heath Bar get to live? “Here I stand, vindicated,” wrote comedian Roy Wood Jr., who controversially trashed the Choco Taco on Twitter in 2020. To make things even worse, Klondike, purveyor of novelty ice cream products found inside gas-station freezers, has announced that it’s discontinuing the Choco Taco after a nearly 40-year run.Īpparently, the decision is the result of lagging demand. There’s a lifeguard shortage and a new, extremely contagious COVID-19 variant, and ice cream trucks are struggling to make ends meet (to name only a few). The disappointments of summer 2022 keep coming. A rep told People that an unprecedented spike in demand for different Klondike products prompted the forever freeze-out after nearly 40. The taco-shaped ice cream treat with a cone shell topped by chocolate and peanuts is headed for dessert heaven, after Klondike confirmed it has been discontinued. An hour or more is best, but I get it if you simply can't wait.Photo-Illustration: The Cut Photo: Klondike Choco Taco, parting is such sweet sorrow.
