Is a Choco Taco an ice cream sandwich?

[MalkinIsMyHomeboy]

But a hotdog is a type of sandwich?

declaratively no

Yes 13 29%
No 32 71%

You could have 50 people in a room and 32 of them can say the sky is red. It doesn't actually make it red.

reality is subjective mang

I voted Yes because Wikipedia says it's an ICS.

Choco Taco is a brand of dessert food resembling a taco, consisting of a sugar cone–like taco shell waffle cone, reduced-fat[citation needed] vanilla ice cream, artificially flavored fudge, peanuts, and a milk chocolate coating. The product was invented in Philadelphia in the 1980s by Alan Drazen, Senior Vice President of the Jack and Jill Ice Cream Company,[2] but was first rolled out in 1984 when it became popular in mobile vending trucks and convenience stores. It made its first appearance in supermarkets nationwide by Good Humor-Breyers in Richmond, VA. in 1996 as "America's coolest taco", at the Supermarket Industry Convention in Chicago.

Background[edit]
The "Choco Taco" is marketed under Klondike brands, marketed as "The Original Ice Cream Taco". The brand is sold by Good Humor-Breyers, a division of Unilever.

In 1998, Unilever introduced the Choco Taco to Italy and 1999 to Sweden with the name Winner Taco.[3][4][5] In 2000 the Winner Taco was retired from the Italian/Swedish market. After two years of campaigning by Taco fans, on January 2014 Algida announced on their Facebook page the return of the Winner Taco in Italy. GB Glace selling the ice cream in Sweden has also re-introduced the ice cream in 2014.

In 1999, the company improved the product, incorporating a shell which stayed crisper, and introduced new packaging.[6] The same year, the company introduced a Klondike Cookies & Cream Choco Taco, containing cookies and cream ice cream and covered with cookie pieces.[7] Choco Tacos have also been sold at Taco John's restaurants, from ice cream trucks outside the facility.[8]

Dessert taco. Not a sandwich

You wanna feel old? That was 11 years ago.

1. Ice Cream Sandwich

2. Who cares

[MalkinIsMyHomeboy]

even Klondike doesn't consider it to be an ICS

See, you can't just start inventing off-shoot categories to contain technicalities and irregularities...that's not how society's rules are meant to be interpreted...

Tacos exist, they are a food for lunch or dinner and - like every Mexican dish - is comprised, generally, of tortilla with meat, cheese and vegetables...

A "dessert taco" is not a thing and if it was, it sounds like something you'd have to pay extra for in the backroom of a Romanian women's amateur mud wrestling event...or so I've heard...

Hmmm...that is rather compelling IMO.

I still think it's a sandwich but this is interesting...

Clearly you edited that.

Source of the post I would refer to it as an ice cream pita, TBH.

yeah, but a Pita is still a type of sandwich. Thus, the point remains.

Edit: You're a PITA.

In fairness, this isn't Kicksave's first run in with PITA

There's professional Romanian women's mud wrestling?

[mikey]

Nah, they just keep that tag on there to keep NCAA eligibility...purely a legal thing...or so I've heard...

A choco taco is an ice cream sandwich. A taco is not a regular sandwich.

Sometimes you dont need analytics to come to a decision. Just common sense.

Find the new resident corsi guy on this board and ask him if he likes choco tacos. His answer will tell you all you need to know.

[slappybrown]

Full disclosure: I have never had a Choco Taco.

May have to take the leap and buy one and report back to confirm its status as an ice cream sandwich.

[dodint]

I peddled Choco Taco's at the beach for two summers, and am an authority. In fact, I'm kind of a big deal.

[King Colby]

I may have to have one just for fun. When i was a kid i used to alternate between screwballs, bubble plays, and choco tacos when the scream truck came by

[shafnutz05]

lol yeah I think I'm definitely stopping at Wawa tonight, I am craving one now.
