Just now learning about the loss of the Choco Taco. Heartbreaking.

No lie, those things got me through grad school. When I was stuck in the basement of the labs, late at night, and an important reaction failed, I would console myself by going to the ice cream vending machine and getting a Choco Taco.

The tally was quite high after a few years.

And like, yeah, I know it's brand shit. And I shouldn't care.

But I just remember many nights of tears and Choco Tacos. And without the ice cream, it would've just been nights of tears.

@Phorm It's okay to mourn the loss of something that was important to you, even if it's a branded product!

Christ, I mean... what if Creamsicles went away too?

@Soreth

Oh gosh no, not Creamsicles! That would be a disaster!

@Phorm We'd just have to make do with vodka, vanilla, and orange juice.

@Phorm ...Actually we can probably make due with vodka no matter what.
