Fans Say 'Taco Bell, You Win 2025' as New Test Kitchen Items Have Fans Ready to 'Try Everything'

As we progress further into 2025, Taco Bell is showing no signs of slowing down. The iconic Mexican-inspired fast food restaurant has been on a roll as of late, and not only just because of its new Caliente Chicken menu. With such fan-favorite creations hitting stores like the new Churro Chillers and the internet-famous Cheetos Quesadilla, it's hard not to find an excuse to visit your local Taco Bell when hunger strikes. Yesterday, Taco Bell streamed its Live Mas Live event on YouTube, giving fans everywhere a taste of what's to come this year. The event unveiled a year's worth of innovative culinary products and iconic brand partnerships, of which @snackbetch came in clutch with a breakdown of just what to look out for. 😋😋 SIGN UP to get delicious recipes, handy kitchen hacks & more in our daily Pop Kitchen newsletter 🍳🍔 View this post on Instagram A post shared by Snack Betch (@snackbetch)
“The majority of these (besides the soda) are test kitchen items, so no nationwide rollouts scheduled (yet),” @snackbetch warned viewers in a post shared to Instagram.Related: McDonald's Finally Made a Popular Breakfast Item Available Nationwide, and Fans Say It's the 'GOAT of Fast Food'The post, which has surpassed 11,000 likes in under 12 hours, features an array of delicious-looking eats (and one intriguing Mountain Dew Baja Midnight beverage) all expected to land sometime this year at a Taco Bell location nearest you.
