Taco Bell just hinted to a member of Blink-182 that it could be adding fries to the menu
- Taco Bell may begin to offer french fries across its United States locations, according to a tweet the fast-food chain sent to Blink-182 bassist Mark Hoppus.
- The chain serves french fries at many of its international locations, but has resisted serving them on a wide scale in the United States.
- Recently, it's been testing them in California and West Virginia.
Taco Bell has had no shortage of unconventional ideas in recent months, from quesadillas filled with Kit Kats to a clothing line collaboration with Forever 21. But the chain has resisted making one of its customers most persistent requests a permanent item: french fries.
The introduction of french fries to Taco Bell's American locations has long been near the top of its customers' wish lists, and a recent tweet from Taco Bell's Twitter account to Blink-182 bassist Mark Hoppus (yes, you read that correctly) hinted that those dreams may become a reality. Hoppus praised Taco Bell but bemoaned its lack of french fries in an October 29 tweet, to which Taco Bell replied, "That just might change soon, Mark. " on October 31.
The chain has sold loaded fries at its international locations for years, but has yet to introduce them on a wide scale in the United States. Recently, it began testing them in California and West Virginia, though one of our readers had mixed feelings about them.
Take a look at the exchange between Taco Bell and Hoppus below.
