It’s a sad day for people who enjoy eating ice cream in taco form.
Klondike has discounted the iconic Choco Taco – a waffle cone shaped like a tortilla, filled with vanilla ice cream and topped with various chocolates and nuts.
The ice cream giant has responded to a frustrated Twitter user who heard rumors on social media that the item would be set aside.
“Unfortunately, Choco Taco has been discontinued in 1-carat and 4-carat packages,” Klondike confirmed Monday.
