When I was a homeless young person, taco bell was an oasis of warm affordable protein. I could say .79 cent bean and cheese burritos saved my life. 😊

Totally missed the beefy 5 layer burrito, $.89 in 2003. It kept me fed in college.

I could walk around a parking lot and find enough money to eat.

No mention of the quesorito 😔. One of the best burritos they ever had.

I've never forgiven Taco Bell for discontinuing the original Grilled Stuffed Burrito. It had an incredible sauce that the XXL versions lacked which made them significantly less good.

I worked at Taco Bell in the 80's, when we made everything from scratch. Hated the taco salad shells, they were always breaking .

I worked in the marketing department at Taco Bell Corp in the mid 90’s. You missed Border Lights, Taco Bell’s attempt at healthy menu items with half the fat. Ironically enough, these were offered just prior to the bacon menu items that came next. They were all on the menu at the same time for a few short weeks.

The enchirito is the best item Taco Bell has ever had. I wish they would bring it back and make it permanent.

You missed the brief appearances of Chocotaco a couple decades or so ago, and the Carmel Apple Empanadas (and other Empanadas) as well. Actually you missed a lot, but those stood out to me.

Nacho fries: “The most popular menu item in TB’s history”

TB: “Yeah, we’re taking those off the menu”

I need the TACO SALAD back! AND it’s edible bowl! Also the “Meximelt”. They don’t mention in the vid the “light” menu in the 90’s!

What I really miss are the old 80s style Taco Bell buildings. Those were a major vibe. 👍

Should have been a Tuesday video, really.

You missed the Taco Light in the 80s. Large crunchy taco made with a flour tortilla. Delicious with sour cream.

Never have I wanted Taco Bell more in my life.

[darkwing]

ate a lot of 59/79/99 in college. three bean burritos with extra onions/red sauce was the affordable go to meal. and I really miss the chilito!

[lorenclarke]

There are a ton of items missing from this list. There were even shots of menu boards thar listed them.

Hard and Soft Taco supremes, Taco Bell Grande, Taco Lite, Fiesta Taco, fiesta Soft Taco, chicken and steak soft tacos, mexi-melt, country bfast burrito (the best), sasauge bfast burrito, bacon bfast burrito, fiesta burritos, combo platters 1, 2, and 3. I know there are more.

[Edsect]

I stopped going there after they discontinued the Double Deck Taco. That was the only thing I found worth eating there.
