There are so many delicious offerings at Taco Bell — and yet we tend to take them for
granted.
How selfish of us.
Let's take a moment to give thanks to all the unique Taco Bell items you just can't
get anywhere else.
This one goes out to you, Crunchwrap Supreme.
Let's be honest: We all want to "do the Dew" on occasion.
Boy, do we.
"I make a mean Sweet Lightning."
On any given day, there's plenty of Mountain Dew flavors to pour down your gullet — while
holding the bottle a foot above your face, naturally.
But there's one Mountain Dew flavor you can only get at Taco Bell.
We're speaking, of course, of Mountain Dew Baja Blast.
With its epic aquamarine color, you can tell right away that this isn't your average carbonated
drink.
But what does it taste like?
"The team chose the perfect name to describe this soda that was a tropical lime storm on
ice.
Mountain Dew Baja Blast."
If you've ever taken a swig of the stuff, you know that description is right on the
money.
The soda first hit Taco Bell's menu in 2004, and it's apparently specially formulated to
pair up with all your favorite Taco Bell food.
Sure, you can sometimes find Mountain Dew Baja Blast in certain grocery stores — but
it just doesn't taste the same unless it's fresh from the fountain, right?
That's something you can only experience at Taco Bell.
It took eight long years for the company to up the ante and give us the Mountain Dew Baja
Blast Freeze.
It's basically a slushy version of the drink, and it's here to rock your world.
When you order a taco, plain tends to be the name of the game when it comes to the taco
shells.
Well, the maverick minds at Taco Bell figured out how to give taco shells a majorly delicious
upgrade… by capitalizing on our insatiable appetite for Doritos.
A taco shell is essentially a flavorless tortilla chip, right?
So why not have a Doritos taco shell?
Genius.
"Wow."
"..."
"Wow.
"Wow."
Greg Creed, the CEO of Yum!
Brands, explained to Fast Company in 2009:
"I [told the team], ‘[let’s] reinvent the crunchy taco.'"
And so… they did.
The thinking was pretty airtight on this one: If places like Subway can come out with new
varieties of bread on the regular, why couldn't Taco Bell do the same with their taco shells?
A legend was born … a legend you can only experience at Taco Bell.
Everyone has a favorite Taco Bell snack.
And for many of us, the snack of all snacks is the Crunchwrap Supreme.
Really, it's got it all: Layers of lettuce, tomato, nacho cheese sauce, sour cream, jalapeno
puree, and the textural crunch of a taco shell … all wrapped up in a warm tortilla.
Our advice?
Get into it.
"It's a Crunchwrap Supreme.
All the classic Taco Bell taste, grilled up so it's good to go."
We dare you to try ordering a Crunchwrap Supreme at some other Mexican restaurant.
You'll be laughed out of town.
No, you can only order this deliciousness at Taco Bell.
Taco Bell premiered the Crunchwrap Supreme in 2005 — and at the time, it proved to
be the chain's most successful product launch.
One year later, it became a permanent menu item.
Wise decision on Taco Bell's part.
None of us go to Taco Bell with dessert in mind … but maybe we should start.
Right now.
The chain offers an assortment of sweet treats that truly hit the spot.
Go for the classic Cinnamon Twists if you gotta have some crunch.
But what about when you want something moist, warm, sweet, delicious...?
Not to worry: Taco Bell has got you covered.
Cinnabon Delights might look like your average doughnut holes — but let's take a look inside.
Oh yeah, each one is packed with Cinnabon's signature cream… and that tasty filling
totally sets 'em apart.
Talk about dessert done right.
You have so many choices at Taco Bell.
You can grab yourself a handful of tacos, or opt for a deliriously delicious quesadilla.
Or you can follow the path of the righteous and engulf a Chalupa, right there in front
of the whole world.
Sure, the filling is similar to other menu items — but then there's the crunch quotient.
In a word?
It's major.
"The shell so crispy."
"Ayiyiyi."
"So flaky."
"Oooooh."
"So chewy and tasty."
"HURT ME."
Now, chew on this for a moment: That Chalupa shell is crafted out of delicately fried flatbread
— and it's larger than regular taco shells.
Of course, that means you get way more bang for your buck.
"Sir, don't be silly.
Drop the chalupa.
I said, drop the chalupa."
"Yeah, drop the chalupa."
This offer is not available in stores.
If you want a Chalupa, you know where you gotta go.
When times are tight, Taco Bell is here for you: The chain offers a value menu that's
overstuffed with drool-worthy options — items that will fill you up without draining your
bank account.
"What are you supposed to be?"
"I'm full."
"Oh, right.
I'm a pirate."
There are lots of items that you can order for just a dollar… including the Beefy Fritos
Burrito.
Or perhaps you'd like a Shredded Chicken Mini Quesadilla?
Do consider the Cheesy Bean and Rice Burrito.
Then again, a Spicy Tostada might hit the spot.
Or hey, try the Spicy Potato Soft Taco if it catches your fancy.
The Triple Layer Nachos are a no-brainer… and you can wash 'em all down with an order
of Cinnamon Twists.
So... what's it gonna be?
