It's not bad enough that Taco Bell makes you shit like a champ. It's that it pretty much leads to a type of shit that requires a shower to make you feel clean.

The Loco Taco trilogy will be completed with a chili lime flavor.

I frankly have been underwhelmed by them. The Cooler Ranch one being the bigger disappointment.

Taco Bell is branching out with a new restaurant concept.

I do like the Sangria Mt. Dew but I think I'm done with 95% of their food now. Even the chicken makes me assplode now. I would never eat there if I wasn't headed directly home.

It does kinda look like Guy Fieri designed the whole thing. I mean, that Mexican Car Bomb Shake sounds like the worst idea I've ever heard. But it sounds exactly like some shit he would make. And I like one of his 8 shows too.

It's a trap. Just like all these burger chains. And I'm not talking about 5 Guys. I'm talking about Smashburger and Bobby's Burger Palace.

To be fair BBP is quite good.

I've been eating Doritos mystery bag 404. It's like a chile lime flavor that would make a great taco shell.

Baja Blast being available in retail establishments other than taco bell makes me really happy. It says limited time only, but I hope it stays forever. Clearly the best Dew.

Taco Bell confirms plans to slash 12 items from the menu, including potatoes, Nachos Supreme, and Loaded Grillers

They can have my cheesy fiesta potatoes when they pry them from my cold, dead, greasy hand.

The only item I lose is the chips/cheese sauce (calling it dip is overly generous)

+1 here.

The chips and sauce together is greater than the sum of the parts.

It's been pretty vital to our TB orders for the past couple years too. Without it, everything we get -- all three household members -- is pretty squishy. Those chips have been pretty significant in coming up with enough food to satisfy without just adding yet another taco of questionable caliber.

Luckily, small chain Diablo's is running $2 taco specials online right now, so my need to go to TB is cut back anyway.

Quesarito is a regular part of my son's orders. I was fond of the grillers, but can survive without them.

The chips/cheese though, that's such an easy box filler/simple pleasure that I don't quite get removing it.

Looks like they removed everything involving chips, so it's probably a space issue, to make room for whatever worthless thing(s) they choose to add.

edit to add: Upon further review, the chips do remain because Bel Grande is NOT on the removal list. So a lot of the rest of this makes very little sense to me at all :/

I read somewhere that they got rid of anything with potatoes. I am not a Taco Bell person so I can't say for sure. I did not know until about a month ago that they took taco salads off the menu.

But chips & cheese don't involve potatoes.

A sizable percentage of the items removed were under $1.50, that seems like the real reason behind this

I envy all people that have more than one fast food taco place. It’s Taco Bell or nothing for at least a 50 mile radius or more.

Well ... I have like, 1.5?

I don't consider the Diablos/Chipolte/etc (and we have 4-5 of those total) "fast food" per se. There's one local joint that's closer to fast food than not, but it also has a health dept score consistently just high enough to remain open so it's not much of an option anyway.

We do, however, have two Taco Bells within 10-15 mins of each other.

Wrapping a Doritos supreme taco inside of a $1ish shredded chicken quesadilla is a very high quality Taco Bell hack.
