“The Choco Taco is no more” is one of the most heartbreaking sentences in the English language.
Those of us who love the Choco Taco will always remember our first. We tore open the crinkly metallic wrapper to reveal the thin and crunchy waffle cone shell coated inside with milk chocolate, its brain-freeze-inducing vanilla ice cream, and the thick and gloppy fudge top studded with peanut shards. It was a revelation: like a sundae, but every bite filled with the perfect ratio of ice cream, cone, chocolate, and nuts.
But this week, after almost 40 years, the worshipped ice cream truck and grocery freezer mainstay is melting away. Parent company Unilever, by way of a call center agent,, the Choco Taco came to life in Philadelphia in 1983 thanks to a former ice cream truck driver named Alan Drazen, whose email signature reads “Inventor of the Choco Taco - The Original Ice Cream Taco - Over One Billion Sold.
I’ve suffered through a Choco Taco embargo in the past. I ate my first one from a summer camp canteen, and it made me delirious with joy that wasn’t just a sugar high. But due to other campers' nut allergies, every jar of Skippy was replaced with SunButter and the Choco Taco had to go. So when I heard the news on Monday night, I took to the streets of Manhattan to search for one of these endangered specimen. It seemed that all 7-Eleven goers had the same idea. I went to four shops and couldn’t find a single one. As the Klondike jingle asks, “What would you do for a Klondike Bar?” I, like many of my fellow Americans, learned yesterday that I would do anything for a Choco Taco.But there’s still a little bit of hope—many are hoping to find a way to keep it alive.
