Taco Bell Sauce on the House for $20! The surprising odyssey of a TikToker who defies culinary logic and makes us ask: What was I thinking?
It’s no secret that people love Taco Bell’s sauce, making homemade sauce rolodexes, collecting vintage sauce packets, and generally hoarding sauce whenever they get the chance. However, not many of us can say we’ve paid nearly $20 to have Taco Bell ship sauces that are free, mind you, to our homes.
This is the story of a TikTok user who initially set out to see how many free salsa packets he could get through the UberEats app. He placed an order for 100 packages and then paid $18.76 in taxes, delivery charges, and a tip to the driver. When the order arrived, the TikToker was surprised to find 109 packets of Taco Bell sauce in a KFC bag. Sure, the whole situation is mysterious, what with the KFC bags and the fact that someone paid $20 to have Taco Bell sauce delivered to their house, but it makes a lot of people shake their heads.
You Never Need to Pay $20 for Taco Bell Dips Again
Before we get into some of the better ways to get Taco Bell sauce, let’s break down why TikToker Taco Bell orders may have been delivered in KFC bags. This isn’t the first time confusion has happened, but Reddit users theorize that it could be some Taco Bells and KFC sharing restaurant locations or the fact that the two chains share a parent company.
Unsurprisingly, TikTok users acted in disbelief at the strange delivery, with one user commenting, “All that and you didn’t even order food.” We remind you that the sauce packets are free. Many questioned whether paying nearly $20 per sauce was a good investment. As one user noted, you can easily buy a bottle of sauce at Walmart or other grocery stores for less than $2. The taste of the packet might not be the same as the store-bought bottle, but for the price, the taste is similar enough.
