“It’s a holiday miracle for Taco Bell fans: Starting on December 18, the iconic Quesarito is officially returning to menus nationwide for a limited time, thanks in part to a basketball star who’s never tried it. To make amends for one of the most unexpected internet moments of the last decade, Taco Bell is calling on three-time MVP and Denver Nuggets center, Nikola Jokić – whose 2014 draft announcement famously aired during a Quesarito commercial – to finally try Taco Bell and the Quesarito for the very first time. The accidental overlap has since become a viral chapter in sports and Taco Bell lore. Now, Taco Bell is embracing the moment fans made famous, calling on Jokić to finally settle the score and offering a friendly apology for the coincidence that paired the Quesarito’s ad with his draft moment,” says the Big Bell in a press release heralding this most blessed miracle.
“The Quesarito’s bold build helped define an era of Taco Bell innovation, becoming one of the brand’s most talked-about mashups and a staple order for an entire generation of fans. It’s back on menus for $4.99*, but the first 30,000 Taco Bell Rewards Members can score a $1 Quesarito during a special Tuesday Drop on December 23 at 2 pm PT – exclusively in the Taco Bell app**,” the release continued, the asterisks denoting that it will be closer to $8.99 in certain markets because of what we understand to be Joe Biden’s policies preventing Trump from making Taco Bell more affordable.
