The maker of the Choco Taco say it's 'discussing next steps' after being surprised by just how upset fans are over news the treat is being discontinued

It's been a rough week for choco taco fans, but there may be good news in the near future.

The ice cream taco has been around for nearly four decades.

"We've 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."

But fans were upset, and the news had such a popular moment that it was added to searches for "choco taco", featuring ice cream, tortillas, and a tombstone.

According to Ohanian, he wants to buy the rights to the product to keep it going.

At least for a little while longer, things are looking up.

"I want to address the rumors: I'm really being discontinued, it's not a PR stunt," a picture of a Choco taco was posted on Thursday. I knew you were in love with me. We are talking about what to do with the last 912 taco at HQ. Don't be surprised..."

Fans are wondering what the next steps will be despite the fact that the dessert taco is being discontinued.

It will only be a matter of time before the last of the Choco tortillas disappear. Is it too early?
