Costco fans are excited to have strawberry options for their sundaes once again.Food World News
Sunshine, sandals, and... what's that delicious smell wafting through the Costco food court? Is that the delicious scent of ... strawberry? Could it be back for summer? Back in January, Costco seriously knotted up the knickers of some of its most devoted food court fans when it announced that it would be replacing its strawberry-flavored soft serve ice cream with chocolate.
Instagram account @costcoinsider reported on the change, to which one angry respondent said, "Seriously, leave the menu alone already, you guy's take away the churro for a big cook(ie). Now you are taking away strawberry for the chocolate why not just have both?"
Well, dear reader, if you happen to share the opinion of the person above or just want some strawberry goodness in your life, we're hearing that a new Costco treat is making its way to stores soon.
The Costco Chocolate Strawberry Sundae
Ever the über journalists, Instagram users are reporting on a new dessert that involves the hotly debated chocolate ice cream topped with syrupy, sweet chunks of strawberries.
Instagram user @costconew says, "OMMMMGGGGGG This $2.49 food court item is one of the best things I've ever had!!!"
Is It a Costco Secret Menu Item?
He also notes that the sugary sweet delight tastes just like chocolate-covered strawberries - and that the item hasn't made it to the menu just yet. Apparently, this man's got the inside track - and presumably why he's got over 300K followers. Is this just a menu hack, or will this chocolate-strawberry delight grace Costco Food Court menus in the near future?
Whatever the case, it seems Costco might be offering a mea culpa to the disgruntled droves that begged the brand not to take away its strawberry sundae. This olive branch might just offer a solution that satisfies both chocolate and strawberry lovers and might create a new legion of chocolate-strawberry fusion fans (heaven help us when Costco discontinues this combination!). So, keep your eyes peeled on those Costco food courts, folks - summer strawberry sweetness might just be around the corner!
