This became the primary source of procuring chocolate-covered taco-filled ice cream. Later, when Klondike was acquired by Unilever, the company made the treat available to its customers more widely. Alan Drazen designed the product and believes that it was potentially a game changer in the way ice cream is consumed. He said:"When you eat a sugar cone, you generally eat the nuts, chocolate, and ice cream on the top. With Choco Taco, you're getting ice cream, cone, nuts, and chocolate with just about every bite."Daniel Nathan@dspychI just ate my first, and last, Choco Taco. Ugh, what was that? A melty Klondike bar wrapped in soggy cardboard?I just ate my first, and last, Choco Taco. Ugh, what was that? A melty Klondike bar wrapped in soggy cardboard?However, the item has a history of getting soggy while inside the packaging, causing consumers to skip over the product after a few trials.For many, the Choco Taco is part of their childhood nostalgia. People who have never tasted the item can try finding the last remaining stocks in ice cream shops and departmental stores before they disappear from the market.
