I have not only never eaten a Choco Taco, I don't think I've ever seen one for sale. Maybe I live in a vacuum, a what did I miss out on my entire life vacuum... because they keep coming up in news articles, memes, the Gen X page I'm on on Facebook saying it's the end of life as we know it...

Until a few days ago, I had never heard of them. They look delicious though.

I’ve seen them but I’ve never had one.
Is t it basically a differently-shaped Drumstick?

I didn't eat them regularly but when I saw one in the Walmart freezer I might pick it up. Now that I know it's gone forever, that's all I'll want for awhile!

Never seen one in real life, never eaten one. 🤷♀️
That said, if people are going to miss them, I am sorry for that. In the current times we live in, I hate to see any simple pleasures (that don't hurt anyone else) eliminated.

They are one of my favorite road trip snacks, I’m super bummed! But considering I have one maybe once a year I’m not exactly a huge financial contributor to the life of the Choco Taco.

I’ve never heard of them but I’m a fan of the name now that it’s been explained what it is.

They are (were) my son's favorite ice cream variety. True... he probably can't remember the last time he had one, but he sent me a bunch of crying emojis as soon as he found out. When he was a kid he use to buy them from the ice cream man, and we'd occasionally buy them if we saw them at the store. I'll tell him that drumsticks are almost the same thing.  |

My oldest son loves them. If it weren't for him, I would not know what they were. Apparently he and his brother would eat them at camp.

I’m so bummed! They are like a Drumstick only shaped like a taco!
These are better though cause with each bite you get all the flavors, the crunch of the cone, the vanilla ice cream and the chocolate coating/nuts.
Wahh it was perfection! I’m sad 😭

I had never heard of them until the stories about them being discontinued.

I’ve seen them but I’ve never had one. Is t it basically a differently-shaped Drumstick? Yes, basically, but the the waffle to ice cream to chocolate to peanut ratio is much more even throughout consumption. So it’s much better than a drumstick. |

Never heard of them, hate drumsticks, so am not sorry they are gone.

I have never had one, but my kids get them from the ice cream truck. I had no idea they were discontinued. I know one of my kids came running back up the block with one earlier this summer. I don't think the kids have heard that yet, either.

I've never had one - so I won't miss them. I kind of like eating certain things separately, which is why a regular drumstick suits me just fine (I can eat just the coating, followed by eating all the vanilla ice cream, followed by eating the cone by itself). I couldn't do that with a choco taco.

Much sadness and wailing at the craftedbyS house. DH and DS love choco tacos.
They are very bummed.

So I see they are selling for crazy prices by people who have managed to snag some. Only in America. |

I’ve had them. They weren’t that great and never seemed fresh. The taco cone would be stale. Haven’t thought about them in years.

I’ve never had one so I guess I can’t miss it. I like Klondike bars though.

Our favorite Mexican restaurant had them in the kid's meals as dessert. I can't lie, I may have ordered the kid's meal on more than one occasion just to get one.  My grandkids love them. |

Know what they are, never ate one. Could care less that they are gone.

I've never heard of them before, but I'm pretty sure my kids would have been all over these as they loved drumsticks and anything taco.
Were they regional?
ETA Well, turns out DS23 knows what they are and had a couple friends obsessed with them in MS. I guess I just didn't shop where they were sold.

You could find them in So Cal at the grocery stores. Taco Bell also sold them for a short time. I just was never interested and never tried one. |

I had one. Once. The taco part was soggy and tasted like cardboard. I’m surprised they didn’t taco them off the market long ago.

The d**ned ice cream truck that stalked our neighborhood in VA sold them, and the kids loved them. My girls didn’t get them often because I told them they had to spend their own money at the truck since we had plenty of ice cold treats in our freezer LOL.
We had a great Mexican restaurant nearby that had these as a dessert on the kids menu, and they frequently had them there. I thought they were overrated—really just a funky-shaped Drumstick cone that cost significantly more LOL.
