/ck/ - Food & Cooking

I dare anyone to name an item that is messier and falls apart more than that. Triple dog dare.

>>15763641
Agreed. Even the soft taco supreme that is constantly falling apart from the grease on the soft taco holds up better then the Crunchwrap supreme

>>15763626
It's literally one of there most popular items anon.

>>15763626
tried to home make it on a lark and while i fucked up on the size of the flower tortia i had to get and fuck me if trying to re-create it to hold together was fucking imposible. learned my lesson and just stuck with proper taco shapes.

>>15763626
It's relatively cheap and looks bigger than it actually is. Put a taco supreme inside of a tortilla, charge a premium price. What separates a limited item from a menu item is profit margin, not popularity. An item that makes 50c per sale and sells 1 million, is $500,000 more profitable than an item that makes 15c per sale and sells 3 million.

>>15763626
its fatal flaw is you have to add sauce with each bite, you cant just pour out the whole packet like a taco

>>15763772
>you have to add sauce with each bite

Which means you have to tilt the thing, which means it always comes unwrapped and the innards spill all over your lap or whatever surface your eating over. Those idiots did away with... Do I even need to say it?

>>15763726
Yeah I guess the spicy potato soft taco was never popular huh? Or the meximelt

>>15763770
>relatively cheap

>$4+ each in every state

>>15763788
Say it. Say “volcano burrito”

>>15763770
I would be surprised if it wasn't their most profitable item. it's popular and not cheap realative to what you get compared to the rest of their menu

>>15763641
cheesy gordita crunch

>>15763820
Maybe someone at TB HQ is listening. Doubtful, but maybe. Everyone wants the volcano stuff back. Literally everyone. 4channel.org, specifically /ck/, is a direct representation of universal human consciousness.

>>15763827
You need to visit your nearest church and put in some serious repenting if you think the CGC is a problem is our world.

>>15763815
Cheap for them, not for you.

>>15763641
Basic hardshell taco wtf???
How the hell does your crunchwrap fall apart so easily

>>15763808
if either generated profit taco bell would have them on the menu forever

>>15763852
i don't think it's a problem at all, but it definitely has worse structural integrity than the crunchwrap supreme

>>15763641
The hard shell tacos explode the moment you take a bite.

I will never go back to taco bell until the frito burrito returns

>>15763626
>cheesy potato burrito: gone
>beefy fritos burrito: gone
>beefy crunch burrito: gone
>7 layer burrito: gone
>XXL grilled stuffed burrito: gone
>quesarito: online orders only
whoever is in charge of this at taco bell has to have gotten their pay cut for this, i fail to see how this benefits the company in any way

>>15764707
>beefy fritos burrito:

Don’t remind me it makes me so sad

Bros... We're back in the good timeline.

>>15765672
>SODIUM WARNING

>>15763641
i never had this problem with my crunchwraps, must be a regional thing

Bring back the waffle taco god dammit

>>15765672
>cheesy potatoes only 1.49 where I am
we eating gooood tonight, boys.

As far as I'm concerned, they're assholes until they bring back the beefy potato burrito and the double decker taco.

>>15763641
chipotle burritos

>>15763626
>How has this lasted decades on Taco Bell’s menu
People buy them
>but all the good menu items get taken off the menu
People didn’t buy them.

You act as if these decisions aren’t driven by sales metrics.

>>15764658
Based

>>15765672
No we aren’t

>>15763626
It's overpriced, doesn't take a lot ingredient mass(I swear sometimes these things are skimpy as fuck) but people still buy it because "muh shape"

>implying the crunchwrap is anything but god-tier

>>15763626
Because it’s the biggest ripoff they have, and there is no shortage of suckers to n the world

Whenever I get one of these I'm always disappointed. I expect it to be full of meat and shit because of the price, but it's like 85% lettuce.

>>15763626
This thing fucking sucks and I want the Mexican pizza back.

My local Taco Bell raised prices by about 50% last year.
It's just not worth going there anymore.
Crunchwrap was always overpriced, but good.

>>15766819
It's basically a quesadilla but because of the hipster way they fold it it holds about 1/5 as much stuff

I bought one of their $1 soft tacos recently and it was pitiful how fucking small they are. I finished it in like 2 bites. Literally like 10 cents worth of ingredients inside

VOLCANO TACO IS THE BEST FAST FOOD ITEM EVER. ANYONE WHO DISAGREES IS A HOMOSEXUAL

>>15763626
Wanna know a secret?
Everything at Taco Bell is the same thing, just in a different shape.
Thanks for reading.

>>15767529
Crunchwrap is $5.19 here

NO MORE TACO BELL FOR ME UNTIL THE SRIRACHA QUESORITO RETURNS. FUCK YOU TACO BELL

>>15763626
after getting rid of the mexican pizza, crunchwrap is now the dumbest item on taco bell's menu.

>>15763626
best taco bell item is steak quesadilla with onion, fuck all of you

>>15767798
newp. best item is bean burrito grilled and stuffed with french fries. i wish they'd make french fries a permanent item

>>15767694
They do build your own boxes now for $5 and one of the mains options is the crunch wrap

>>15763788
>he tilts the crunchwrap to put sauce on the outside of the wrap instead of keeping it upright and putting sauce inside the wrap
God damn you are dumb

>>15763808

actually... no. statistically, factually, no.

>>15765717
this anon here
just had a quesalupa and an order of cheesy taters, it was really good

>>15767665
Only people who don't eat Taco Bell say this. Your opinion is irrelevant.

>>15768119
>SODIUM WARNING
Is this a legitimate health warning or a promotional gimmick?

>>15763626
the triple stack crunchwrap was a mess, as was the 3 piece fried mini gordita thing.

I think it was the grilled stufft chicken chipoltle burrito that they used to have. It was phenomenal, but the cock smokers got rid of it and never brought it back.

It's the big Mac of taco bell. They'd probably keep it on the menu even if they were losing money on it

>>15763626
Because it's objectively the best thing on the menu? Are you retarded OP?

>>15768119
I've gotten this 3 times now with the crunchwrap and every time it was smaller than a cheesy bean and rice burrito, but even worse because it was 2:1 tortilla to filling. It was always a shitty item.

>>15763626
isnt because theyr were all promotional items?
ex. Fritos burrito thing was a collab made with Fritos chips and so on and so forth

>>15770521
It is definitely real

My Father works for Taco Bell. They are having talks to do a promotion with Maruchan Ramen. They want to unleash tacos with "shells" made of uncooked ramen noodles and taco meat seasoned with Maruchan seasoning packets. It's the cringiest thing I've ever heard of but these are the talks being had.

>>15771375
The Double Decker Supreme was better and essentially, the same thing different shape, major difference was real cheese instead of cheese sauce, and the inclusion of beans

>>15763626
2 bean burritos, no red sauce, and an order of nachos. Open burritos, apply half the chips into each, close them. enjoy dipping in the cheese and with lots of fire sauce.

best fast food ever.

>>15763626
>How has this lasted decades on Taco Bell’s menu
Why are you even asking?
>soft tortilla
>crunchy tortilla
>meat
>cheese sauce
>veggies
>sour cream
That’s already half of Taco Bell’s stuff in one.
Make a few modifications like pic related, and you’re literally eating the entire Taco Bell menu in a single item. All that Taco Bell is, condensed into each bite, and enjoyed by you.

Fuck Taco Bell.

The last three times I’ve been there they’ve fucked up my order:

1. Crunchwrap supreme with NO beef
2. 2 Quesalupas that were soggy and undercooked
2. 2 Quesalupsa that were soggy and undercooked AND had NO BEEF

>>15772677
How many times are you going to keep going to the same location when they fuck up as badly as not putting meat in something?

>>15772705
It’s the closest Taco Bell to me

>>15763641
what the fuck are you talking about, the crunchwrap holds together a million times better than any of the crunchy tacos. The only real issue is you can get sauce leakage if they overfill, but if you just put the wrapper on your lap it's not a big deal

>>15772650
It should be illegal to advertise pictures of your product that look THIS far off from the actual end result

>>15763626
one time I ordered a quesadilla with extra sauce on lunch break, and the wait was like forty minutes. The lady said sorry for the wait and with a wink said she added double meat for the trouble, so it was double meat double sauce. It was like trying to eat a cereal sandwich

>>15772917
Why? Are you saying your Crunchwrap supreme didn’t contain the ingredients it was shown to contain?

>>15772972
Definitely not the amount of ingredients it was shown to contain. It's a misleading advertisement because you would naturally assume you were getting much more than you actually receive

Anyone remember the taquitos?

>>15772979
In that case, all images of menu items should be illegal.
There’s no way for a restaurant chain to guarantee every employee at all of their 1000’s of locations will assemble products identically.

Besides, the law already states that menu images have to be made using the same items with the same amounts of whatever. They’re free to dress it up though, and arrange each piece of lettuce for max aesthetic.

>>15773126
I dunno, I feel like it should be illegal to advertise a food item as much bigger than it actually is.

>>15773126
Dude, if I get a burger from McDonalds, even if it’s sloppy, it still resembles the picture that’s posted on the menu. Taco Bell almost never resembles the picture. Especially the Crunchwrap supreme. It is completely different

>>15763626
Because it's fucking god tier if you customize it

>>15773129
>much bigger than it actually is.
And this is why many bags of chips and other food items specify “this item is sold by weight, not volume”.
It’s really easy to make the same amount of food appear to be more food, without actually changing the amount of food being photographed.
I mean there’s no way the lettuce of a crunchwrap could be nearly as “fluffy” when served as shown in the image, as it’s literally placed into a grill press.

>>15773162
The lettuce isn't even my problem. It's the amount of beef being shown being blatant false advertisement. You don't get anywhere near that amount of meat in a crunchwrap supreme. The images, combined with the higher price than other menu items, leads you to falsely believe you're purchasing a different product than the one you actually receive.

>>15773142
That’s because Taco Bell stuff is made of mushy and easily compressed/mixed ingredients.
When I get Taco Bell, it basically looks as much like the menu image as McDonald’s.
From McDonald’s I receive “buns with meat/stuff between them”, which resembles the menu pics.
With Taco Bell, I receive “tortilla with stuff in it”. Which also looks like the menu pics, unless I dissect it. But if I peel apart a McDonald’s burger it appears less and less like the menu pic as well.

>>15773175
You do understand that if you’ve been falsely advertised to, you can sue, right?
Even over retarded shit; look up the kid who sued Pepsi because a commercial back in the day joked you could trade enough Pepsi-points for a harrier jet.
So if Taco Bell had been duping people all this time with their Crunchwrap imagery, that’s grounds for a serious class-action suit.

>>15763734
Watch Cowboy Kents video on the topic. Changed the game for me. Basically use the round corn thing, forgot what it's called, as a template to cut another piece of flour tortilla that sits atop and gets wrapped, bridging the gap.

>>15763641
You are retarded.
Crunchwrap Supremes are the only thing I get from Taco Bell and I've NEVER had one fall apart. What the fuck are you doing to it?

>>15767541
>quesadilla
>hard shell
>lettuce
>tomatoes
>barely any cheese

nigger fucking what

>>15768119
>not getting the five layer

>>15772917
>buying fast food and putting it on a fucking cutting board

what's the end game here?

>>15765672
>sodium warning
Nigga its fast food, stop treating me like a child

I pray to God everyday that I'll hear in my lifetime that the volcano taco is a permanent item

>>15763840
They're cutting menu items to make the cuck thru faster. It's not because of demand they just want to streamline ingredients.

>>15763626
It only uses basic Taco Bell ingredients. The fillings are the same as a taco supreme, the tortilla is presumably the same as the burritos, and the crunchy tortilla is just a hard shell that wasn't folded. Meanwhile, other (less popular) items have more unique ingredients, which requires them to contract with additional suppliers and to use up more storage space in the kitchens.

>>15763626

i got one better on you anon. How are cinnamon twists mexican food?

>>15774629
you've never had a churro?

>>15774320
Run it through a sausage grinder, stuff it in sausage casing, fry it and eat it.

>>15765672
>No naked chicken chalupa
>no beefy frito burrito

>>15774670
>churro
i don't speak orc, zug zug.

>still no potato burritos even though all they'd have to do is put the stuff in that bowl in a wrap
I'm keeping my money

>>15763734
Y'all need the cooking advice of Kent Rollins!
https://youtu.be/CQizhznzlvM

>>15763626
Why doesn't taco bell do polling to find what people actually want to eat? There's like two items I would even go there for now.

>>15775152
They already know what people want to eat. They have access to which items on the menu sell the most.

This is all just a marketing ploy. They take items off the menu to fool people into thinking they want these now "exclusive" items. It also puts Taco Bell's name into news headlines and gets people thinking about their brand. Then, when they bring the "exclusive" items back, they can make a big announcement about it and people rush to Taco Bell to purchase these beloved items that are finally back from popular demand!

>>15775113
Make your own. Also you don’t need to do dumb folds with the tortilla, just roll that shit.

>>15775163
I probably I will at this point. Is there a cheap store nacho sauce that matches taco bell's?

>>15775423
Can't say since there are no taco bell where I live, but there are many recipes for it on the internet.

>>15763641
What the fuck, are you mashing them with your fingers or something? I've never had a crunchwrap fall apart on me. Learn how to eat you fucking animal.

>>15772542
>tacos with "shells" made of uncooked ramen noodles
gay and retarded
>burritos with cooked ramen filling
I will now eat your promotional food

Moe's Southwest Grill has crunchwraps except they're good and not tiny and shitty.

>>15775612
not everyone shoves them down their far guilts whole. get fucked you giant ham

>>15775423
literally any of them. their nacho sauce is completely flavorless.

>>15763626
Fuck you this shit kills if those losers make it well

You guys must be total mongoloids or have tiny Trump hands if you can't eat a crunchwrap without it falling apart.

>>15765672
why do they bother putting a warning on some of them
it's all sodium warning

>>15776203
There's some set limit that's not hit by any individual item, but is once you start packaging together three of them.

>>15776203
The crunchy tacos aren't bad at all sodium-wise. I think they're actually less than 2:1 on the sodium:calorie ratio.

>>15775621
>not fast food
>no drive thru

Opinion discarded

The original crunchwrap was insane. It was 50% bigger. The only item you could order 1 of and be fine.

>>15775872
I never got this meme. His hands look normal to me. Maybe a little small for his frame. I assume it just grew out from cope.

>>15767553
Depends on which store you go to. The one nearest me sucks and skips on everything but sour cream, another store a little ways out of town
makes all their stuff at least 50% bigger than standard and never skips on anything at all, even chips. I have no idea why but I'm glad they happen to be on my future commute.

>>15763840
it's actually just a bunch of 20-40 year old white dudes with autism and many with crappy parent(s) that never cooked, so they crave things like sloppa bell

>>15763626
menu just got fixed

>>15778421
I don't see the volcano items

>>15776301
That's probably why they're better, but point taken.

>>15772542

It's dumb enough to be true

>>15763820
Stop it bro...it’s too painful

>>15763641
the mexican pizza which was also the only reason to even get this shit tier fast food joint

>>15763626
cause theyre good to go (￣^￣)_/¯

>>15773068
Yes, they were good

>>15781361

It's not fucking fair bros. Literally the best thing they ever had.

>>15763827
I dunno that cheese glue always seemed to hold it all together. Then again I haven't had one in like 5 years so I could be misremembering.

>>15763641
How the fuck are you eating a crunch wrap that it falls apart? Is this some good bait or something?
The crunchy tacos explode the second you even open the wrapper.
