Forget fried chicken sandwiches and other gimmicky fast-food creations. Taco Bell” data-wpil-keyword-link=”linked”>Taco Bell, the master of culinary mashups, has struck gold again with its new Giant Cheez-It Tostada.
This isn’t just any oversized Cheez-It. It’s a 16-times-larger version of the beloved snack, transformed into a tostada base. It’s a delicious, cheesy, and crunchy platform for a pile of seasoned beef, lettuce, taco sauce, and sour cream.
The Giant Cheez-It Tostada, which launched nationwide on June 6th, is a logical and surprisingly compelling extension of Taco Bell’s history of successful gimmicks.
Remember the Doritos Locos Taco, launched in 2012? It’s become a Taco Bell staple, selling over 400 million units in its first year and sparking a fast-food gimmick arms race. But Taco Bell stands out from the crowd because its gimmicks are actually good – and people love them.
Unlike other chains that try to create wacky combinations that ultimately fall flat, Taco Bell understands its customers’ desires for cheesy, meaty, and absurdly delicious food.
The Giant Cheez-It Tostada is proof that Taco Bell can take a seemingly crazy idea and turn it into a winning menu item. It’s a testament to the chain’s ability to stay connected to its customers and their cravings for unique and satisfying food experiences.
