Cold Stone Creamery

Pick your ice cream, pile on mix-ins, and watch a scooper fold it all together on a frozen slab of granite — then tip them and they sing. Cold Stone Creamery turned dessert into a performance across 2000s America.

Taco Bell Caramel Apple Empanada

The fried pastry pocket of diced apple and warm caramel that sat at the bottom of the Taco Bell value menu for 15 years. It debuted in 2004, sold for 99 cents for much of its run, vanished in 2019 with no real explanation, and got its own Change.org petitions before Taco Bell finally brought it back in November 2024.
