taco bell at 6am he must have been out all night raging taco bell may be the biggest mexican fast
food chain in america but let's check out 10 of the biggest taco bell failures of all time
two thumbs down the bell beaver turkey can never beat cow chris sorry when you think of mexican
food what comes to mind most likely a crunchy taco dripping with sour cream or maybe a cheese laden
juicy beef burrito stuffed to capacity makes sense and of course there's also the classic hamburger
yes the hamburger if you were to go to a taco bell in the mid 70s to mid 90s a fast food franchise
that specializes in serving up their takes on classic mexican food glancing at the menu and
spotting the bell beefer a mexican hamburger was not out of the ordinary taco bell executives had
their creative juices flowing deciding to turn an american classic into a mexican-themed food
frankenstein innovative certainly good idea not so much something resembling a sloppy joe more
than a hamburger the bell beefer was essentially a taco on a bun and frequenters of the mexican
food franchise were having none of it better luck next time while the beefer did manage to
make its way back to taco bell menus for a brief period in the 2010s the item was promptly removed
mexican inspired breakfast dishes are they making waffle tacos now in mexico classic breakfast
dishes can include such tasty delights as the eggy goodness of both huevos rancheros and huevos
divorciados these savory enchiladas enmoladas and of course the french toast chalupa yes taco bell
took it upon themselves to dabble in the world of the morning meal offering a mexican twist on the
western breakfast from the aforementioned french toast chalupa consisting of scrambled eggs bacon
bits and a side of syrup to the eggs and sausage rolled up in a waffle that was the waffle taco
taco bell's take on breakfast was nothing if not innovative perhaps the strangest breakfast item
ever created by the mexican fast food chain was the naked egg taco hash browns cheese
and ham wrapped in a fried egg taco shell can i offer you a nice egg suffice to say breakfast has
never looked more unique but sometimes ideas are best left on the drawing board it's a firecracker
burrito then get your reps in and make your brain pop pop pop remember being a kid and running to
the convenience store with your hard-earned allowance in hand the feeling of walking into
the store as the doorbell chimes and perusing the aisles in search of chips and candy bars and then
there were the fun treats like pop rocks remember pop rocks the sweet candy pebbles that would pop
crackle and explode in your mouth were a childhood staple for most well for some inexplicable reason
somebody in the taco bell corporate offices perhaps feeling a bit nostalgic that day
decided to mix pop rocks with a burrito a gimmick and a half the firecracker
burrito gave taco bell patrons the option to bring their burritos to crackling life
with the addition of a spicy version of the ingredient that gives pop rocks their pop
the burrito itself was for the most part a normal burrito consisting of the standard ingredients
such as cheese beans and beef but seemingly creativity trumped forethought in the case of
the unique food item the firecracker burrito was discontinued not too long after it made
its bombastic debut sometimes mixing food and fun doesn't always work out the blackjack taco
this is burnt no baby that ain't burnt humans are visual creatures by nature of course the
aroma wafting from food to the nose is the first sensation you're likely to experience it's the
eyes that quite literally give you an image of the tasty treat that awaits with that in mind in
a visual sense what color happens to be the most appetizing black right usually the first thought
that comes to mind when thinking of the color black and food is well burnt but this didn't stop
the mexican fast food giant from thinking it was a good idea to introduce the black shelled blackjack
taco debuting in 2009 the blackjack taco was a halloween gimmick promotional item which isn't
anything new for food franchises with various companies introducing seasonal items yearly
scary maybe but for the wrong reasons aside from the color of the shell there wasn't anything
special about the taco with the ingredients consisting of beef cheese and baja sauce well
that's not entirely true you see this particular taco was notorious for leaving consumers of the
product with a little surprise after eating it the blackjack taco was responsible for turning
the contents within your toilet green what this was of course picked up by multiple media outlets
who said any publicity is good publicity yeah in this case maybe not the seafood salad you
like seafood do you fast food companies have made it their mission to accommodate those looking to
avoid the red stuff with the addition of fish items on their menus the most famous of these
options is undoubtedly the filet of fish served up by mcdonald's however other chains such as burger
king and wendy's offer up their own versions like the big fish and the crispy panko fish sandwich
respectively not to be outdone taco bell decided to offer their own fish dish when they created the
seafood salad debuting back in 1986 the seafood salad was served up with classic taco ingredients
such as cheese lettuce tomato all within an edible tortilla shell bowl only with seafood in the place
of beef topped with shrimp whitefish and snow crab the seafood salad didn't catch on with taco bell
customers and was quickly removed from the menu maybe it was the mixing of cheese and seafood
or maybe it was because traditionally people went to taco bell for their fix of tacos and
burritos and not salad or seafood fish for sport only not for meat this item failed because taco
bell wanted to follow their rivals instead of sticking to what they do best as we keep moving
on take a second to hit that like button would ya thank you next cheetos burrito did you steal
my cheetos again when it comes to snack treats there are two that are held closer to the hearts
of snackers than any other crispy cheesy delights doritos and cheetos offering the satisfaction of
both cheesy zing and a crispy crunch both bright orange treats are consumed all over the world
so you'd think that mixing the tastiness of both doritos and cheetos with the deliciousness of a
taco bell taco would be a match made in heaven right well yes and no showing up on the menus in
the mid-2010s the doritos locos taco consisted of a doritos nacho cheese flavored taco shell stuffed
with the usual ingredients the taco also came in several varieties such as supreme and cool ranch
flavored all part of an inter-promotional campaign with frito-lay the doritos locos taco was one of
taco bell's biggest sellers becoming a bonafide success this of course prompted the folks in
charge to develop yet another item with frito-lay the cheetos burrito oh hold it while doritos are
tortilla chips and mexican inseam cheetos don't exactly make you think of mexican food debuting in
only a single market the cheetos burrito failed to catch on and was never released outside of
cincinnati perhaps the idea of biting into a juicy cheesy burrito stuffed with the unusual you know
rice beef and soggy cheetos wasn't exactly a pallet pleaser while cheetos are delicious this
was a better idea on paper than in reality biscuit taco and by the way these biscuits are amazing
the culinary possibilities of biscuits have been explored most famously by the southern united
states the classic biscuits and gravy a freshly baked biscuit smothered in a heaping amount of
thick sausage gravy has been a sought-out dish for every southern tourist and a comfort food that
sits alongside the likes of mac and cheese and cornbread as delicious as a nice hearty biscuit
and gravy breakfast may be when one is thinking about mexican food a good old-fashioned biscuit
dish is likely the last thing that will spring to mind so when taco bell had the idea to introduce a
biscuit item onto their menu you have to wonder what exactly they were thinking i have no idea
debuting in 2015 the biscuit taco was yet another take on breakfast the biscuit taco
consisted of either egg sausage and even a piece of spicy fried chicken all barely contained in a
biscuit taco shell and much to the surprise of no one the biscuit dish suffered the same fate
as the other taco bell breakfast themed items the biscuit taco quickly vanished from the menu never
to be seen again while the idea might have worked at another restaurant it didn't work at taco bell
you'd think the colossal mexican-american food franchise would have learned their lesson and
steered clear of the world of breakfast but there you have it blt soft taco you never order blt if
there's one thing you'll find in north america it's that bacon is a welcomed addition to almost
anything since it first showed up on some ancient person's plate a long time ago bacon has been a
smoky tasty delight give me all the bacon and eggs you have when it comes to a sandwich or a burger
bacon has become a staple item offered as an add-on at almost any fast food franchise you
can think of the idea of bacon lettuce and tomato sandwich taken to the fast food level was first
introduced by mcdonald's with the blt burger back in the 80s and still continues today in form of
the vlt quarter pounder so unsurprisingly in the early 90s taco bell unleashed the blt soft taco
for all to enjoy part of the company's sizzling bacon menu the softshell taco came complete with
the standard taco ingredients but failed to catch on perhaps the attempt to reinvent the wheel by
merging the classic sandwich with a mexican staple was just too much for taco bell fans classics are
sometimes best left alone fully loaded nachos do they do a decent nacho some of the most beloved
foods in mexican cuisine are tasty and simple not every dish requires you to utilize fancy items and
long drawn out cooking techniques and there's nothing more delicious than a batch of nachos
better still a batch of full loaded nachos it is the best with mounds of cheese jalapenos sour
cream and anything else you can think of nachos are perfect for parties or enjoyed alone a mexican
staple to be sure so adding nachos to the menu of taco bell seems like a perfect match how could
this item not succeed yet that's exactly what happened when the fast food franchise added fully
loaded nachos to their menu perhaps because there are other nacho items on the menu the fully loaded
option seemingly fell off the radar and failed to capture the public's interest the mexican
pizza two years because that's how long it takes to recover from eating a taco bell mexican pizza
ah pizza you'd be hard-pressed to find a person anywhere who doesn't have a fondness for the
savory pie from the land shaped like a boot the classic italian dish has been a staple in north
american cuisine for decades and a go-to when lacking the time to whip up a meal for the whole
family or a meal for one so naturally you'd think that when entering a taco bell and ordering a
pizza the cashier would either flash you a puzzled look or explain that taco bell is not a pizzeria
right bravo introduced in 1985 the mexican pizza was placed on taco bell menus for a limited time
originally called pizzazz pizza surprisingly this mexican slash italian hybrid was not
hated by patrons of the fast food franchise and in fact was a staple on the menu for years until 2020
and ingredient shortages caused the company to remove it from the menu
however fans of the pizza rejoiced when taco bell decided to bring this culinary experiment back
the mexican food giant put the mexican pizza back on the menu for all to enjoy and this time
it's permanent seems the failure here was taking the pizza off the menu to begin with though fans
of the item are not exactly thrilled with the new version of the pizza with claims that the company
has changed the original recipe hmm what's up with that taco bell got a favorite you miss let us know
thanks for sticking around we've got more videos just for you so stay right here and check one out
