Costco fans spot popular ice cream missing from menu - and think it's been quietly replaced for a ne

COSTCO has made a big change to its food court offerings and fans are not happy about the swap.

Getting a treat from the Costco food court is the perfect way to reward yourself after a long day of shopping.

The classic $1.50 hot dog combo and the popular chicken bake are a few of the mainstays on the menu.

For many years, shoppers could grab a soft serve ice cream cone in either chocolate or vanilla.

Those days have sadly come to an end as the chocolate soft serve hasn't been seen since 2018.

Soon after it disappeared from the food court fans noticed a new frozen option — acai.

The swap has left many customers with a bad taste in their mouths.

"Costco has replaced its chocolate soft serve with acai. Please keep me and my family in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time," tweeted one distraught fan.

Another added: "I literally just got a Costco card and my second visit I find out they're discontinuing chocolate soft serve. I want a f*****g refund tbh."

"Costco— no one wants you Acai + vanilla swirl soft serve. Bring back the CHOCOLATE!' Acai tastes like berry-scented hand soap," tweeted another shopper.

They continued: "I'd shop there more if I could reward myself with a chocolate vanilla swirl, for each trip is an epic trek through bulk chaos! Please! #Costco #NoAcai."

FOOD COURT CHANGES

There have been a host of changes at Costco's food court over the years.

Back in March, Reddit users took to social media when they noticed that the diced onions were discontinued.

Along with the onions went other condiments like sauerkraut and brown mustard.

The onions have since made a triumphant return.

The chicken Caesar salad also took a brief hiatus and came back with a much higher price.

Initially, the salad was just $3.99, but the newer offering is $6.99.

Costco also swapped out chicken strips for its popular rotisserie chicken, got rid of the cherry tomatoes, and started putting the croutons and dressing on the side.
