I love the choco taco tbh — but it was a solid #4 on my list of individually-packaged ice creams!

1) Milky Way

2) toasted almond (wow haven’t thought about that in a minute)

3) Klondike

4) Choco taco

5) drumstick

Okay the toasted almond things were 🔥🔥 I never even knew their name, had to look it up when you posted. Milky Way bar I've never had but a friend had some frozen Snickers bars a few months ago and they were also delicious. I'm sure the Milky Way delivers as well.

Gotta say I was never big on Klondike bars or the Drumstick. When the ice cream truck came round I had eyes only for the Choco Taco.

I suppose I am not a true Choco Taco enthusiast because I didn't even know it was discontinued! The ice cream truck makes regular appearances in the neighborhood—I'll have to see what the latest and greatest is next time I hear those sweet tunes.

I hadn't eaten one for years when I heard the announcement. And suddenly I found myself questioning that series of choices. Denied myself happiness for so long only to discover it was being taken from me anyway.

I'm definitely longing for the return of the Choco Taco. So, I'm not normal 😉

I absolutely love your story about spotting a beautiful woman at Taco Bell and discovering your shared love for the Choco Taco—what a fantastic moment!

As for my Multiverse Self, I’d like to think she’s already met the love of her life. They’re off on an adventure together, taking in breathtaking sights, and of course, savoring a Choco Taco along the way. 🥰

I’m told there are off-brand Choco Tacos available at Walmart but haven’t confirmed. Mostly cause I don’t want to go to Walmart.

Our Multiverse selves are so fulfilled. They should really be sending over some of the magic to the rest of us!

I completely understand. I’m not exactly jumping at the idea of going to Walmart either.😅 But guess what? I found a Choco Taco recipe.....should I be brave and give it a try at home?

Agreed!! 🙃

Still remembering the tornado when we were at Parker Dam? What a scar on your childhood.
