hello everyone this is running on empty food review well hello ladies gentlemen and everyone
watching welcome to this newest edition of running on empty food review i'm your host the report of
the week and here we are once again so i hope you're doing all right hope you're feeling okay
and i hope all is going well for you we are here and we are trying out a new release from taco bell
and to get right into it and i know i know now as a fact i say that in every single video but we are
getting right into it taco bell is i think in my opinion a master of innovation taco bell is one
of those companies that asks the questions they test the limits they say is this even possible
can we or can we not this item is not only a feat in terms of what modern physics is capable of
but also what the human mind is even capable of imagining
this is groundbreaking ladies and gentlemen and mark my words you have never seen anything
like this before and very likely you will never see anything like this again
this all started gosh decades ago i think even back in 2002
you have to go all the way back and you have to look at the lowly quesadilla
folded once taco bell asks the question is it possible to fold it again
it took a team of some of the leading physicists in the world and several decades to determine yes
you can and thus the grande stacker was born taco bell is uh having this as a five dollar
box the grande stacker featuring one of those you can also get two tacos and a
medium drink all for five dollars but if you want to get this this item by itself
what is it exactly you get a double portion of beef mozzarella cheese pepper jack cheese
mozzarella cheddar and pepper jack cheese i think i messed that up
you get warm nacho cheese sauce it's wrapped in a tortilla or it's in you know it's in the
tortilla but then this is where the groundbreaking stuff comes in they fold it once they folded again
and then if we could even imagine it and i know i'm struggling right now
they fold it again and they're trademarked patented copyrighted trifold and then it's grilled
so that's what it is i know i'm really i just said uh you know let's have some fun and let's
just let's just hype it up to a rationally uh irrationally uh massive levels but yeah
you know it's like a quesadilla it's folded three times over so it looks like it's more layered but
as a result they say well it has more beef but it has a lot of cheese in it and it's supposed to be
an item where you know you get those layers and you know it's just a good mix of uh that cheese
and the beef and hopefully it'll it'll all blend together nicely and that'll be that as you can
see though i do have a box here i got the box so yeah that's what we've got because i was you know
i didn't even expect to get the box i was just going to get this and i was going to get two soft
tacos you know it's the rest of my meal i thought oh look at that you know you can get two tacos and
you know you can get the stacker for five bucks it's a good deal so i did that
i got this baja blast that's what i always go with i will say i mean i know they have
i guess i have this promotion here what is that x box series x i guess you could win that right
so you know you can use that and you can you know i don't know put something on top of it you know
use it as a box i don't know but you can apparently get
you know i guess it's a contest or something you know you put your hat in the ring and see if you
can get a free xbox so i know they're trying to advertise that i guess they want to let people
know that that promotion exists but i always like it when the cups are clear because i think
you know baja blast is a very aesthetically pleasing drink and should be you can see
they put the sticker on there what does the sticker say even let's see
what does it say sealed for you
all right so it's sealed right there yeah i'm not going to keep that on my lapel we'll keep
it there though we'll plaster it onto the table sealed at the at the taco bell there's
my two tacos you can see this is what it looks like you know it's pretty standard
you know you've got the box box set you know tacos and then there's the grande stacker we'll take
the tacos out of the box right now just that you know we could kind of unleash unleash the stacker
see what exactly this is capable of you can see it's in its own stack or pouch
look at that that's the shot right there stacker in the stacker pouch
and now we're going to do the unthinkable we're going to take it out of the pouch and what we'll
do we'll lay this down because we don't want total destruction of the world you know in case
in case the stacker escapes right this is a very sensitive uh sensitive situation
i'll tell you this and you know don't judge a book by its cover i know i really hyped the thing up
i am a bit disappointed looking at it to tell you the truth because if you want you know take
the time to look this up go to their website right now taco bell you know dot com look at
the advertisement and look at this i mean right now go ahead and look look at the difference
now again it might be good but look at this empty tortilla right there there's the there's
some beef right there but where's all the other stuff where is it i don't know i don't see it
anywhere i am disappointed by that very much so it might be a good item but i'm just disappointed
by the overall appearance i feel like i'm getting scammed and ripped off right now because you know
just look at that i don't even see any cheese dripping out of it i don't see any beef
it's like it's just a waste i don't know maybe it's supposed to be smaller but you know the way
they advertise it they make it look like it's it's you know teeming with cheese and look at
this there's there's zero it's just a tortilla folded over on itself i'll take a bite right
now and there's not gonna be anything so i'm just gonna have to rip this stuff off you know
again i'm not gonna judge a book by its cover but when you get all of this that says nothing
and there's still nothing there that's a little disappointing so i don't know we're
just going to start taking a couple bites we're going to see what we get and then i'm going to
probably have to cut away more of it disappointed by the appearance but it might be really good but
we'll see grande stacker from taco bell going in hopefully it'll be it'll be okay fingers crossed
it's like the bottom layer has stuff on it but it's like the top
layer it doesn't even exist look at this
you know it's the top layer here you have to peel all the way back
right there right you have to peel that back and then this too it's like there's nothing
now that's not on taco bell but you get subpar preparation you know
and still it's disappointing you know should all be uniformly prepared from one place to the next
now we're finally starting to get into some stuff you could see right there some of the cheese at
the bottom layer some cheese and the beef on the side there and then more beef on the side right
there but uh i'm just very i'm disappointed in the product that i've received taste wise so far
so good but it shouldn't be that way it shouldn't be that way you know you have to literally rip 30
of it off just to get to a little bit of the stuff you know that's not right
you know some people they might say oh don't don't pick on taco bell like that
well i'll pick on any place that has an item advertised as being a certain thing
and then what you get is totally different then don't advertise it that way if it's
not supposed to be you know as teeming with food as uh it really is take one more bite
i don't know i'm just disappointed they give you this impression that it's supposed to be this way
and then you get something different some people might say well obviously they just did a bad job
making it so go re-review it but i'm not going to do that because the way i see it i want to just
play the role of the average consumer i'm on my lunch break i'm going there to get this because
i see a commercial for it and this is what i get and it's just a problem it's not it's not right to
just go to one place to the next just to find the one that you like then is that a really is that
a fair review i don't think so you get the three cheese blend you get mozzarella cheddar and pepper
jack cheese i taste the cheddar in the mozzarella cheese the most that's the most prevalent
the nacho cheese also is mixed in there you know it's cheesy but it's not as cheesy as i expected
it to be again you look on the website you think this thing i literally said you know all right i'm
going to make sure i eat it in the box because i think it's going to be really cheesy and dripping
every works there's going to be so much cheese on it that's the impression that they gave you
instead i know i eat this thing the amount of beef doesn't really strike me as a double portion and
the cheesiness yeah there's some but it's it just seems like it's lacking it seems like there's just
i don't know you know you look at this all right sure there's some cheese there that's
how everything should look then you look at this bite in the middle there's nothing
practically nothing then a little bit of beef and a little bit of cheese there
it's not uniformly distributed at all i think it needs a lot more of everything i think it
needs more cheese it needs more beef and even when you get that it ends up a little bland
you know sure the cheese and everything it's okay but it needs some sort of sauce so we're gonna try
some of the fire sauce with that right now but i'm disappointed i'm disappointed in it honestly
very very poor very poor preparation awful portion size honestly for what they tell you
that it's going to have sound like a broken record but this isn't not a good situation
in your case if they do it right then
make sure you get some fire sauce with it too a little bit of spice really takes it up a level but
even then i don't know i don't know it's just it's more bland than i expected it to be
it's okay but it's it's just bland you know it has this everything just kind
of there's no one flavor that really just you know shoots out and uh captivates you
that's an issue so out of 10 personally this item that i received i mean you know it's below average
it's below average i'd give it a 4.1 out of 10. that's considering that every other item you
know might be better than this one in terms of preparation but it's still lacking in terms of
flavor lacking in terms of just quality and i mean for me for me especially just given given what i
received extremely disappointing honestly price is okay you know five dollar box 249 for the thing
by itself but really just very very disappointed in the product that i received today
so that's all that i have for you ladies and gentlemen hopefully if you get it get
it with the fire sauce hopefully it'll be a little better but don't count on it that's
all that i've got thanks for watching and do take care i'm your host the report of the week
i know that the video is already a bit long at this point i just wanted to make a quick follow-up
i almost feel like i rated the item too high but you know i'm just frustrated and i know it's not
this isn't this isn't how they're all going to be right i know that you know we all do it's just
this is such an outstandingly bad experience and what made me you know turn the camera back on as i
went look at the taco here we could you believe this you know i'm almost ready to look at this
you do you believe how much meat there is in this i feel like i'm almost getting scammed at this
point there there's no meat here there's nothing tons of lettuce a tiny little bit of that but
you know an extraordinarily bad experience from this taco bell if i if i didn't if i
wasn't unbiased i would have given i would have given this a 1 out of 10 or lower maybe a 0.5 but
you know i have to just factor in okay the item's okay it's you know i'm just getting
nothing and that's what it comes down to what i'm disappointed by the most i guess is the fact that
this is a brand new taco bell this isn't some you know taco bell that has has been around for
a while and has a zero star rating and everyone is sitting there complaining about how bad it is
this is probably the newest taco bell i've ever been to people they always say go to the new ones
they're always going to be the best and uh by far one of the worst experiences i've ever had
so be wary you know be wary you might not be getting what you pay for i'll tell you that but
certainly if you if you thought the tacos were any better than that portion size
wise it's not i almost feel like it's just a big scam you know i know it's
i know taco bell is a chain isn't but i just feel like this restaurant you know they charge
you full price and they give you nothing for it very disappointing unbelievable unbelievable
all right that's it just wanted to showcase that the tacos aren't any better
and uh that's that's where we'll leave you with thanks again for watching take care
