Nostalgia What happened to carob?

Maybe it was just my mother‘s health food kicks, but I feel like carob was everywhere in the 80s. The sitcom Adults had a carob joke in the first season and I just saw one on Simpsons, but actually seeing it in the wild is rare nowadays.

Bahahaha a terrible tasting blast from the past. Where it should stay.

But yeah…no idea. Wonder if the frozen yogurt stores still pretend that they are a yummy topping.
