Since many are asking, Taco Bell's "Wild Sauce" was a flavorful, spicy red hot sauce, served warm. It debuted in 1992, and Taco Bell promoted it as essentially taking the flavor of their products to the next level. They even made promotional shirts!

Here's a copycat recipe for anyone interested, though, as the comments make very clear, be sure to add some cilantro (and a touch of soybean oil if you have it), because that's apparently the secret ingredient that gave Wild Sauce its distinctive flavor

With testimonial from one Daffy Duck.

Thanks for this because I was very confident that I'd imagined there being Mild and Wild back when I lived in a dorm with a Taco Bell on the ground floor, because that didn't exist any more a decade later when I overcame the trauma from that situation and ate there again willingly.

The extra "hoo" is more than enough proof that the sauce was wild

celestinakitty.bsky.social•6 days ago

This was the first thing I ever ate at Taco Bell and now I have a name for it, thank you.

also HOLY FUCK IT WAS SO GOOD

I miss onions on things. I also remember why they pulled them off everything...

"Only $1.49"

Back in those heady days when Taco Bell nachos didn't induce existential ennui.

lesliem.bsky.social•6 days ago

If I had to go to Taco Bell for some reason, this would be what I would get (or have gotten in 1993-1994).

jedgeco.bsky.social•6 days ago

Sorry for anyone who wasn't alive in the 90s and didn't get eat these for $1.49.

The single olive is making the sour cream look like an eye and it's creeping me out.

Was just about to post the same thing.

rachelsomething.bsky.social•6 days ago

Me too! At first I wondered why they put a googly eye on the nachos.

Why was everything EXTREME in the early '90s, like FLAVOR BLASTED dental floss and EXXXTREME Pudding?

billkuchman.bsky.social•6 days ago

I'm not interested in learning what "wild sauce" was ...

adamkobiela.bsky.social•6 days ago

It was incredible. They kept it hot, next to the chili. God it was good.

wheelbarrow.bsky.social•6 days ago

awwww, now i'm missing extreme nachos AND the chilito

adamkobiela.bsky.social•6 days ago

We used to order 6 chilitos and a pintos & cheese cup full of wild sauce on the side to dip them in.

Like, we did this weekly for 2 years. My stomach hurts just talking about it. But I'd do it without a second thought given the chance.
