A Los Angeles-based visual effects artist who goes by the moniker Cinnamontographer has taken on the audacious task of forever enshrining an important cultural artifact in the form of a high-fidelity 3D scan.<\/p>\n
Yes, we're talking about a frozen snack. In an exciting showcase of cutting edge tech, the animator showed off a dazzling, photorealistic rendition of a Choco Taco the iconic ice cream truck treat that is being officially discontinued by confectionary maker Klondike.<\/p>\n
The discontinuation of the treat has turned into a media sensation, with millions mourning the loss of their favorite ice cream novelty.<\/p>\n
\"Not the Choco Taco!\" Late Show host Stephen Colbert lamented earlier this week. \"It was the only dessert with as much real beef as Taco Bell.\"<\/p>\n
But thanks to the technological prowess of Cinnamontographer, we can at least gaze upon the treat in perpetuity before it disappears from ice cream trucks forever.<\/p>\n
\"We know how disappointing it is when your favorite frozen dessert isnt available anymore,\" Klondike wrote in a statement to a fan, as quoted by The Takeout. \"Its always a tough decision for us to discontinue a product, especially when we hear from fans like you that really enjoyed it.\"<\/p>\n
It's still unclear whether Klondike is messing with us. It certainly wouldn't be the first time a mainstream food item was discontinued, only to be resurrected later to much fanfare.<\/p>\n
But we're not holding our breath when it comes to the Choco Taco. So for now, we'll have to contend ourselves with a photorealistic 3D render of the treat a chance to memorialize what has been lost.<\/p>\n
