If you don’t believe me, just read this petition shamelessly begging for the return of the Verde Sauce. “It definitely has a role in American culture and a very devoted fanbase-but I think it’s well-deserved.”įor now, just be sure to enjoy your favorite items while they last because you never know when they might disappear forever. Not many fast food employees can say that about where they worked,” Quinn said. “I worked there for a long time and I still want their food sometimes. According to Quinn, even years in the Taco Bell kitchen hasn’t deterred his occasional cravings. No matter how you want to spin it, one thing is for sure-its menu may change, but Taco Bell isn’t going anywhere. While some of us proudly have the app on our smartphone, others shamefully slip through the drive-through for an indulgent late-night snack.

However, customers quickly began to complain of both undercooked and overcooked bacon, and questioned the role of ranch in a taco. Soft Taco for 79 cents, and the Chicken Club Burrito for $1.99, respectively. The items, complete with traditional Taco Bell staples combined with bacon and ranch, were the Bacon Cheeseburger Burrito for $1.79, the B.L.T. As a response, they launched three new bacon-based menu items as a part of their new, competitive Sizzlin’ Bacon Menu. In 1995, Taco Bell found itself in the middle of bacon craze-a fad that burger chains could work with easily.

This cringy commercial from the product’s marketing campaign’s 1986 launch gives an idea of the picture they were trying to paint.
