and it's time for today explained where we break
down some of the biggest stories in the news,
how we got here, where we go next Today,
we're digging into one food novelty that has been causing quite
the hubbub lately due to the recent news of its discontinuation,
I think you know what I'm talking about
what you do
Originating in 1983.
The Choco Taco not only brought smiles to Children,
but adults too in its first few years it was a
treat you could only find on an ice cream truck.
Now it's become a staple in the way many of us remember our childhoods,
but where did it come from?
Who in their right mind, thought to put ice cream in a Taco shell and then sell it to us.
The public, well, the man you're looking for is this guy, Alan Drazen.
I was working in my office one day working for Jack
and Jill ice cream company had an idea at the time.
Mexican food was the fastest growing segment of the food industry.
Taco was most recognizable shape and it's really been amazing.
It started out with a lot of my friends
around the country selling it on ice cream trucks.
It's just grew from that
genius.
Jason prides himself on the invention of the choco taco,
on all of his social media profiles,
he makes his identify with the words inventor of the choco taco in his bio,
even signed his emails with the same title which of course he is well deserving of,
he did create it after all, there has been over one billion
billion choco taco sold in America Unilever announced last month that
the choco taco was being discontinued due to supply chain shortages.
But fans of the sweet frozen twist of a mexican dish. Well they weren't having it.
They even took to the official website to
share their dissatisfaction with the company's decision.
One commenter under the name. Bring back
Taco just made one demand for the company quote,
give me one good reason to discontinue these pieces of art.
However, there may be some good news on the horizon after the uproar from fans,
Klondike tweeted out that they have heard their fans and are hoping to
bring the treat back to ice cream trucks in the coming years.
Take it from the inventor himself.
