Damn.......one of my ice cream treats is no more.....🤬 🤬 🤬

Pour one out for Choco Taco.

The beloved Klondike product, packaged ice cream in a taco-shaped cone, has been discontinued.

"Over the past 2 years, we have experienced an unprecedented spike in demand across our portfolio and have had to make very tough decisions to ensure availability of our full portfolio nationwide," a Klondike Brand representative told CNN Business in an email, adding "we know this may be very disappointing."

You could possibly still find Choco Tacos around as sellers run through their inventory, the representative said.

During the pandemic, it became common for companies to slim down their portfolios to help meet demand for their most popular items. But even less popular products have devoted fans who are upset by the decisions.

"Choco Taco has fallen," one Twitter user declared. "They always take the best things away from us," another mused. Others berated Klondike for the decision.

Did read that Serena Williams’s husband did offer to buy the rights, recipe, or whatever to keep it afloat. 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻
