Here's what The Daily Meal says about the frozen treat: "Utah might be famous for its love of Jell-O but when it comes to the ice cream truck, its residents want one thing and one thing only: Choco Taco." The ice cream sandwiched in a waffle-cone taco shell took the top spot in the state, and I can definitely see why. To determine the list, the website used Google Trends over the last 12 months.Īccording to the list, the most popular ice cream truck treat in Utah is the Choco Taco. The Daily Meal released a list of the most popular ice cream truck treat in each state. From soft serve, Klondike Bars, and sundaes to Spongebob Ice Cream Pops, Snow Cones, and Choco Tacos, ice cream trucks have all the best frozen sweet treats.
This article was originally published on TODAY.Summer is technically still here, which means there's still time for the signature summer experience of ice cream trucks. (It's not an "if," it's a "when," I'll keep telling myself.) He and I will have to limit ourselves to one Toasted Almond a summer for the foreseeable future - until Good Humor decides to bring it back. "I may have to buy a new freezer and hoard as many as possible before I say goodbye to this iconic dessert," my dad says. I am hoping that with enough signatures, Good Humor will see how popular their Toasted Almond bar is and bring it back."Īs of this writing, it has 1,705 of its 2,500-signature goal.įortunately, a quick Google search tells me it's still available on some grocery sites, like Instacart and Stop & Shop. "This flavor is a favorite among many, including my 91-year old mother. Many have said that due to the lack of stock in stores, this helped perpetuate that thought," Regan writes in the petition's description. "Good Humor made the poor decision of discontinuing their Toasted Almond bar stating it was 'less popular across the country'. 12, 2022, the petition was launched: " Bring the Good Humor Toasted Almond Bar Back," by Tammy Regan. no pressure !" tweeted someone else, rather ominously.Īnd then, on Sept. "hi there good humor! i think this is possibly the worst decision youve ever made :) kindly bring them back and i promise to single handedly make it worth the investment <3 if not then i can guarantee ur business will continue to decline severely from this point on. "Please bring them back!!! This was the favorite flavor among many! I grew up eating these with my dad, we need them back!!" wrote another Twitter user, who seems to have had a similar childhood to mine. Please bring them back!!! This was the favorite flavor among many! I grew up eating these with my dad, we need them back!!😭 "Chocolate Éclair and Strawberry Shortcake were favored by some, but nothing in life was better than that guy in the white hat and uniform reaching through that tiny door in the side of the truck and magically extracting that perfect Toasted Almond on a wooden stick."Īnd he's not alone: Many on social media have echoed his frosty feelings. The ringing of bells in my childhood neighborhood always heralded that Good Humor Toasted Almond was at hand," he tells me over text. I got a SpongeBob Popsicle or Choco Taco (RIP!) every now and again, but usually, the sound of the ice cream truck meant it was "Toasted Almond Time." We bonded over our shared love of Toasted Almond every summer when the ice cream truck came down our street. The first person I had to tell was my dad, who first introduced me to the unique treat in the ‘90s when I was a kid, and had eaten it as a kid, too. After more than 60 years of its glorious existence, Toasted Almond is no more.įor a quick bit of cake-coated history, by 1961, when Unilever purchased Good Humor, its product line had grown to 85 flavors or combinations, including Toasted Almond, Strawberry Shortcake and Chocolate Éclair, and then, in 1992, the company relaunched those three classic offerings.
