Also, I can’t wait until people collect VHS tapes and tell you “This is how movies were meant to be enjoyed” just wait…it’s the future like vinyl records are today. ![]() I’m not going to lie I’m concerned I have to explain what a VHS tape is and what Blockbuster was. Last I remember, as a kid I would get them from the ice cream truck and I also would get them from Blockbuster, along with a VHS tape of a James Bond movie, some sour patch straws, and maybe an N64 game rental (God that was living).

I quickly realized that after visiting Shoprite and some other chains of stores the Choco Taco was well kind of rare. To my amazement she had never heard of it, being from Florida I figured maybe they weren’t sold in Miami?įrom that conversation, my mission was clear go out and buy a pack at the local grocery store.
