It starts with your choice of soft serve\u2014vanilla, chocolate, or swirl\u2014and gets topped with salted caramel sauce and miniature churro bites. <\/p>\n<section data-embed=\"watch-next\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-18\" data-node-id=\"5\" class=\"embed\"\/>\n<section data-embed=\"instagram\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-19\" data-node-id=\"6\" class=\"embed\"\/>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"7\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">Some members online celebrated the news. One Instagram user wrote, \u201cWAIT A MINUTE. That looks fire!!!\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"8\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">But the overwhelming consensus was much less enthusiastic. For many Costco shoppers, this new sundae only seems to rub salt in the wound left by the discounted churro. \u201cDoing everything but bringing back the churros,\u201d one Instagram user wrote. <\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"9\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">Others took the opportunity to throw a little extra shade at Costco\u2019s habit of killing off fan-favorite food court items.

Another added, \u201cPlease don\u2019t get rid of the mint, I\u2019m hooked on them.\u201d <\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"13\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">Unfortunately, being a Costco member means saying goodbye to something you love regularly. But on the bright side, it also means there\u2019s usually something new to try.
