NEED TO KNOW
- Taco Bell unveiled Meal #47: three chicken tacos in Doritos Nacho Cheese shells.
- Critics say the release is a spicy jab at the trending political acronym “TACO” — Trump Always Chickens Out.
- Company insists it’s just “a coincidence,” but the ad slogan reads: “Bold on the outside, chicken on the inside.”
Political Shade or Just a Crispy Coincidence?
In a move that has foodies laughing and Trump supporters fuming, Taco Bell dropped a new combo meal called “Meal #47” — a three-pack of chicken tacos in bright orange Doritos shells. Although the company hasn’t confirmed it’s political, social media users instantly made the connection to the viral term “TACO,” which stands for “Trump Always Chickens Out.”
The combo features no beef, no veggies, and zero nuance — just bold shell, warm meat, and a side of timing that feels *too perfect* to be random.
Slogan Sparks Fire (Mild, Hot, and Political)
The campaign slogan for Meal #47 reads, “Bold on the outside. Chicken on the inside.” Within minutes, Twitter had already dubbed it “the first edible subtweet in U.S. history.”
“Taco Bell just dragged a former president with cheese dust,” one user posted. “We live in glorious, spicy times.”
Trump Yet to Respond, Probably Writing a Taco Memoir
While Donald Trump hasn’t commented, insiders say he was “very aware” of the Meal #47 rollout. One aide reported he muttered, “I never chicken out — except maybe on Cinco de Mayo when the shell breaks.”
Meanwhile, conservative radio hosts have declared a boycott, while liberal influencers have declared Meal #47 “the only three-piece combo that doubles as political commentary.”
