Choco-Taco the End of an Era

[Munchkin]

Here I sit mourning the demise of the Choco-Taco. The Shell station down the street always stocked them. Sometimes Jeff would stop and get some in the middle of the night on his way home from a gig. We would sit in bed, talk about his evening, and eat Choco-Tacos. No more. I read this morning that they had been eliminated by their brand. Why? They couldn’t meet the demand. What a strange reason to get rid of a product.

I will miss them. Not that I ate them all the time but I always knew they were there if I had a weak moment. I think I will stop at the Shell station today and see if there are any left. If I score some I will put them in the freezer for the next cheat day.

I have never heard of a Choco-Taco, nonetheless, I will mourn their demise in solitude with you!

There is an rumor that Reddit’s cofounder is trying to buy the rights to it to keep it from disappearing. https://wtov9.com/news/offbeat/choc...-rip-nostalgic-social-media-chocolate-peanuts

Fingers crossed. Went to the Shell station and they are all gone.

I remember them, but hadn't thought about them in years. If I remember correctly, they were like Drumsticks with a taco like shell instead of a cone.

I liked them and used to get them at Taco John's. I think. I got them somewhere, anyway, and they were good.

I just saw some at a local convenience store - probably not worth the drive with the price of gas the way it is. if they no longer make them, I guess that means the ones I saw are old?

Nope. They just now stopped making them. Have one for me.
