ONE tiny Tweet has set the internet into a panic as Taco Bell fans beg the chain to bring back their favorites.
Earlier this month, the taco chain tweeted for its fast foodies to “Drop your Taco Bell hot take” and fans did not hold back.
While it’s not uncommon for fast food joints to try new products or swap them out when they are underperforming, fans will typically take notice.
Over the years, customers have had to say sayonara to favorites like the Breakfast Waffle Taco, the Enchirito, and the ever-popular Meximelt.
After thousands of comments on the Taco Bell Tweet, we’ve rounded up four menu items fans were sad to see go.
1. LAVA SAUCE
One user wrote: “What happened to the volcano menu/lava sauce, bring it back it’s been since 2015.”

Lava Sauce started way back in the summer of 1995 as the company introduced the Volcano Taco, according to the fan site Taco Bell Fandom.
The sauce was a spicy nacho cheese sauce that added a fiery kick to menu offerings for several years.
Years later, the Volcano Menu grew to include the Volcano Burrito and the Volcano Nachos, which included Lava Sauce.
However, even though the Lava Sauce became a selling point for the Volcano Menu, the company saw a decrease in sales.

The sauce was discontinued in September 2013 despite many social media campaigns to bring it back.
Shortly after in 2015, the sauce came back but only briefly.
2. THE BOSS WRAPS
Originally added in 2015, the Boss Wraps were similar to a Crunchwrap Supreme.
Customers had the option of grabbing either the Steak and Potato Boss Wrap or the Fully Loaded Steak Boss Wrap.
The Steak and Potato Boss Wrap had a double portion of steak, crispy potatoes, chipotle sauce bacon, and a three-cheese blend wrapped in a handheld tortilla.
The Fully Loaded Steak Boss Wrap had a double portion of steak, guacamole, pico de gallo, and avocado ranch sauce, also with a three-cheese blend wrapped in a handheld tortilla.
One user commented on the Twitter post: "And the boss wraps, 2015 was Taco Bell's golden year."
3. COOL RANCH DORITOS LOCOS TACO
Back in 2019, Taco Bell discontinued its Cool Ranch Doritos Locos Taco leaving many fans devastated.
The beloved menu item left along with nine others including the Beefy Mini Quesadilla, Chips & Salsa, Chipotle Chicken Loaded Griller, Double Decker Taco, Double Tostada, Power Menu Burrito, and the XXL Grilled Stuft Burrito.
One user commented: "Cool Ranch Doritos Tacos were so good that supply could not meet demand and were therefore discontinued. Bring back the Cool Ranch Doritos Locos Taco."
4. CARAMEL APPLE EMPANADA
The fan favorite left in 2019 as the chain quietly discontinued the popular dessert.
The Caramel Apple Empanada had hot fillings of gooey caramel and spiced apple.
The shell had a combination of a flaky exterior and a soft, pastry interior.
One user commented: "I will never get over Taco Bell removing the caramel apple empanada from the menu."
NEW ITEMS
While fans may miss their favorites, the taco chain has reintroduced five menu items.
Nationwide, foodies can now start enjoying the Double Steak Grilled Cheese Burrito, Bacon Club Chalupa, and either the Blue Raspberry or Wild Cherry Freeze.
However, it has also added two new items: Cheesy Chicken Crispanada and Double Stack $2 tacos.
Just remember that while you're enjoying the old favorites, don't forget to say so long to the Quesarito as it will be coming off menus on April 19.
Plus, earlier this year, Taco Bell reintroduced its Cantina Crispy Melt Taco.
For just $2.49, customers can order the item, which is now known as the Crispy Melt Taco.
It features a fried white corn shell, a layer of gooey nacho cheese, your choice of beans or seasoned beef, topped with lettuce, tomatoes, sour cream, and a three-cheese blend.
