SHOPPERS are unleashing their fury on Kroger after discovering the chain discontinued a beloved fan favorite ice cream.
Customers often stay loyal to certain grocers for their low prices and high quality food options.
However, some food products become so widely loved that their disappearances leave shoppers shocked and angry.
One in particular that has disappeared in recent weeks at Kroger is the Turkey Hill Dairy ice cream.
The Turkey Hill Dairy brand was top-tier for many Kroger shoppers, offering an array of flavors from Black Cherry and Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough to Butter Pecan and Orange Cream Swirl.
Each pack of ice cream had a sale price of around $5, and shoppers began to depend on the creamy and decadent flavors during their weekly shopping runs.
So when the Turkey Hill Dairy ice cream suddenly disappeared, there was swift backlash.
One upset fan called out Kroger on Twitter.
“@kroger discontinued @TurkeyHillDairy ice cream. @kroger you are officially dead to me. Private Label is awful!” they wrote.
Kroger responded to the frustration with some hope that the ice cream’s days in aisles weren’t entirely over.
“We’re sorry for any frustration this caused,” the company responded. “We’ll share your feedback with our internal teams for review. Thanks, and have a great day!”
Many other shoppers have expressed their disappointment in the Turkey Hill Dairy’s disappearance as well.
“I’m a total ice cream snob and this was hands down the best store bought ice cream,” another fan wrote on Reddit.
OTHER DISCONTINUED PRODUCTS
This isn’t the first time Kroger discontinued a popular product to the horror of shoppers nationwide.
The store’s Grill Time Steak Seasoning also disappeared this year, and customers haven’t been able to find a solid alternative.
The seasoning included red pepper, extractive of paprika, black pepper, salt, garlic, silicon dioxide, dill seed, coriander seed, and other spices, according to Kroger’s description of the item.
Several other retailers are feeling the heat for unpopular decisions to discontinue fan favorite items.
Bargain retailer Aldi also axed its breakfast pizzas, leading to many shoppers begging for their return.
At just under $5, the item was also a relatively affordable meal, and several options were available.
The first on the market was Mama Cozzi’s Biscuit Crust Sausage and Cheese breakfast pizza.
It came full of country style gravy and was topped with a delicious mix of mozzarella and cheddar cheeses.
Meanwhile, Mama Cozzi’s Biscuit Crust Bacon Topping, Pepper & Onion pizza also had the gravy, but it amplified the dish with some pork belly and bacon crumbles.
Also at Aldi, a popular brand of crunch wraps was removed from the store.
The Reduced Sodium Whole Grain Wraps were enjoyed by customers looking for a healthier alternative, but they mysteriously vanished one day.
“It’s been months since I’ve seen these wraps at @AldiUSA did you guys stop selling them?” one shopper wrote on Twitter.
Aldi replied with some bad news.
“Sorry to disappoint, but they have been discontinued,” the company responded.
Meanwhile, Trader Joe’s also axed a wide range of its most iconic products, including the Chocolate Hummus, Chunky Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, and Creamy Cauliflower Jalapeno Dip.
This was shocking news to many shoppers, as one Redditor called the cookie dough “the best retail cookie dough in America.”
