Talk:Choco Taco

Someone mentioned this article on the Village Pump as an example of a short article that is complete, so therefore an example of the failure of Assessment. Here are some areas that really need expansion before calling it complete, copied from there, so as not to be lost: How does it sell? Why is the ice cream low fat? What are related products? Competitors? What has been the critical or commercial reaction to it? Is it a major product of its original company? Of its huge conglomerate? What does "Choco Tacos have been sold at some Taco Bell restaurants" mean - when? why? how many? What about the Taco Bell restaurants that don't sell them - why? Are there different flavors than vanilla with peanuts? Why or why not? They're sold in Italy - famed for Gelato, to such an extent that complete garbage that has never seen an Italian gets called "italian style" - so how do they sell there? What was the reaction to the introduction? Are they sold in other places besides the US and Italy? Why or why not? Many of the references are bare links, they really should have publication dates, author names, and titles. --AnonEMouse ^(squeak) 20:23, 8 November 2007 (UTC) I don't think any any of that information would be encyclopedic. It's the same reason we have an article on Pokemon but not on every single one. I'm fairly satisfied that this is the extent of Choco Taco's encyclopedic importance, if people want more info they can go to google. 11:27, 16 December 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.138.193.113 (talk) Reply

what is the typical price these sell for? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.193.112.62 (talk) 01:18, 29 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

I found a source that said a Choco Taco cost about $2.49, but given that your post was over 10 years ago, the adjustment for inflation would have been about $1.85 around the time of your post. Once the item became discontinued, I also discovered there were several reliable sources showing auction listings of a box of about 20 at a price of around $200 for the box.

There is no information at the linked page to indicate that the statement has any basis in fact. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 38.88.11.131 (talk) 17:52, 14 July 2014 (UTC)Reply

As noted by an anonymous Wikipedia editor here,[1] "Sam Rayburn died in 1961; Choco Taco was introduced in the 80s." The press stores in The Atlantic[2] and Yahoo News[3] did not pick up on this aspect of the story. -- GreenC 19:56, 16 July 2014 (UTC)Reply
