>Taco Bell Is Killing Off 9 Menu Items in Major Revamp

Beginning September 12, Taco Bell is drastically changing its menu. The company explained its decision in a press release on Wednesday, by first asking customers if they'd ever "had that moment... where you just want to chop all your hair off, buy new clothes and get a fresh, new start?” A million readers nodding hesitantly, clutching their Double-Decker Taco as they continued reading. “Well, we kind of did a thing…”

And the thing they did was remove the double-decker taco, along with eight other menu items. The company also gave the menu a new look and updated combo orders. I’ll give you the bad news first.

Here are the foods going bye-bye:

Beefy Mini Quesadilla
Chips & Salsa
Chipotle Chicken Loaded Griller
Double Decker Taco
Cool Ranch Tacos
Fiery Doritos Locos Tacos
Double Tostada
Power Menu Burrito
XXL Grilled Stuft Burrito

I'm legitimately upset; I get these all the time. They better replace it with a comparable massive burrito.

I would like them if they made them correctly. 9/10 times I get it they make it into layers. I bite into one end, nothing but guac. So I have to eat through all the guac to get to the beans, then the meat, etc.
Retards at TB don't know how to make a fucking burrito.

>>12850264
I don't give a fuck what they get rid of if they could just bring the beefy crunch burrito and volcano sauce back. Taco bell is literally just non-distinct slop for people to eat while drunk because they can't afford anything better. As someone who's done this multiple times, neither I nor anyone who uses Taco Bell for it intended purpose cares what we're ordering, but the beefy crunch burrito with volcano sauce
was the one thing of theirs I would eat sober.

Wait, getting rid of stuft burritos in general or just the "XXL" version? I guess it doesn't matter anyway because I rarely go to Taco Bell and when I do I get some combination of quesaritos, cheesy potato burritos or bean burritos because even though I like the stuft burritos they're too fucking expensive for what they are.

Having had their chips and salsa, it's actually a smart move. The salsa was extra mild and watery, and the chips were stale. the chips are actually fine if you get them with queso, but the salsa doesn't mask the staleness enough.

I'm not a fast food connoisseur but that one was literally in the top 10 healthiest items you could get and pretty much unique, not to mention tasty! Is there another chipotle chicken item on the menu that was more popular?
I love the grillers so much, but now that leaves only the potato and beef ones left! You cant order just two grillers, and 4 is way too much, it was the perfect number!

That definitely makes me sad. I got those all the time. Fortunately they still have the $1 chicken quesadilla, and on the self serve kiosks you can delete the chicken and add "extra" beef for 60¢ and creamy jalapeno sauce for 40¢.
