The Internet Mourns The Discontinuation Of The Choco Taco, Despite Many Admitting To Never Eating It
For some, the humble chocolate taco and ice cream sandwich known as the "Choco Taco" is a treasured dessert pastime, something to be enjoyed after a nice dinner and a long day outside. For others, the Choco Taco was a dreaded favorite of a family member, demanding they keep being added to the grocery list despite not liking them in favor of other treats.
After word got out that Klondike, responsible for the famous ice cream bar, was discontinuing the Choco Taco, the internet quickly took to social media to protest the decision, showing their support for the timeless treasure.
While some people were busy mourning the Choco Taco, there were a select few who started tweeting out their plans for making runs to wherever they suspect Choco Tacos to still be found.
With Klondike saying the product is discontinued, not recalled, it means that recent shipments of the treat will still be able to be found until supplies last, leading to a potential gold rush scenario in which dessert-taco lovers could begin hunting for this now endangered treat.
On the opposite side of the spectrum, many a social media user voiced their support for the Choco Taco, while readily admitting they haven't consumed one in the past decade and begging the question of loyalty to the treat or to their own nostalgia.
While the Choco Taco was receiving a large amount of support from the internet, there were a few naysayers who were not only steadfast in their hate against it but actively reveled in its demise as their hot takes were proven to be ice cold.

The problem is I never could find them in stores!
I had a craving for one this year and could not find one. I, either figured they sold out or the plant doesn't bother making as many.

Who is "viciously defending it is existence"?

I think they were kinda like drumsticks, which are pretty good, which is a shame.

tbh i didn't know these were still around, now seeing that they are only to be discontinued by a tweet makes me sad.
makes me at least grateful i got an ice cream maker now, maybe i can make my own now

I genuinely liked the Choco Taco. This is unfortunate.

Definitely mixed feelings on this one. On one hand, it's "Choco Taco – classic confectionary treat!" On the other hand, every time I bit into the damn things, the chewy shell just pinches a load of ice cream straight into my mouth without any give; the shells are like rubber and probably the worst part of the Choco Taco which means that as far as tacos go, it's not a very good one.
I digress, RIP Choco Taco

Yeah, the design is rather poor. The shell gets kinda soggy and loses it's crispness. Unless you can get one that's like straight from the factory, they're always a disappointment.

It seems that the brewing consensus is that people like "the idea" of the Choco Taco and it will be remembered fondly… however "the reality" of the Choco Taco will not be missed.

I didn't hate the Choco Taco but it was too thin, fell apart too easily, definitely wasn't as good as the package made it look, and didn't really live up to the hype.

I've eaten a few ChocoTacos, the chocolate flavor wasn't as strong as I thought it would be and everything else about it was rather forgettable. Overall it was pretty bland.

I used to eat these like crazy at a summer camp in 2007-2010. In recent times, even though I've seen these at walmart, I though spending 6$ for 4 of the things was steep, and they really weren't all that great. The waffle part was honestly the worst part of the dessert, often times it either tasted stale or was way too chewey.

I actually do remember the last time I had one of these.
…it had a distinctly stale, cardboard-y taste to it.
