In the late 1980s, I became addicted to Taco Bell's Meximelts. It was a simple food, beef, tomatoes, and lots of cheese wrapped in a soft tortilla. You could eat them while driving, and best of all, they were only 79 cents. My family bought Meximelts in large numbers for about thirty years, but when the price reached $4 each, I quit buying them. Apparently, so did everyone else, and they fell off the menu in 2019. The chain figured no one wanted them, but it was the price that did the Meximelt in. Now I get soft tacos with no lettuce for $1.49 and pretend they are Meximelts.
The Meximelt is just one of the once-popular Taco Bell items that are no longer on the menu for one reason or another. Read about ten of these discontinued items at Mental Floss, and let us know which one you want to bring back.
