Taco Bell is Testing Crispy Chicken Taco Shells in California

The rumors are true.

Taco Bell is testing crispy chicken taco shells. A spokesperson for Yum Brands, Taco Bell's parent company, confirmed the news Wednesday, adding that the shells were being tested exclusively in Bakersfield, California restaurants. The test began Aug. 27 and will end Sept. 23. The company will then evaluate whether to go forward with a wider launch based on the response from consumers, according to the spokesperson.

Taco Bell fans seem excited by the new taco shells, as evident from comments on a Reddit thread titled "New Naked Chicken Taco."

In the past, Yum, which also owns KFC and Pizza Hut, has introduced mash-ups such as the Double Down Dog and the "Chizza," a pizza that has a chicken crust. The new item is called the "Naked Crispy Chicken Taco" and it's filled with lettuce, tomato, cheese and avocado ranch sauce, Foodbeast reports.

Way to think outside the box.

Did Obonzo’s “unaccompanied minors” bring this idea in with them?

It can only be a matter of times. Will the Canadians have their own version?

“Taco Bell - a sure cure for constipation.”

That ought to be their advertising slogan.
Perhaps you should submit it to them and see what they say?
