Taco Bell's recent post on social media generated over 1,500 comments and reached over 650,000 people, with T-Mobile being one of the fans.
The telecommunications giant requested the reintroduction of the Caramel Apple Empanada, a dessert item that was discontinued in 2019 after a decade of being a menu favorite.
Although the dessert item still appears on the Taco Bell website, it is not currently available.
Taco Bell is known for frequently changing its menu, often removing items only to reintroduce them later.
This pattern of reintroducing popular menu items has given customers hope that the Caramel Apple Empanada could make a comeback, especially with T-Mobile's request.
The dessert item features a deep-fried, crispy exterior with a baked pie crust texture on the other half and was a popular choice among customers.
Taco Bell has shown that it values customer feedback, making it likely that the company may consider bringing back the Caramel Apple Empanada.
Additionally, a joint promotion between Taco Bell and T-Mobile to reintroduce the dessert item to the menu could be a possibility.
The promotion could be offered as a digital-order-only item, available for free to T-Mobile customers as part of T-Mobile Tuesdays, the company's weekly promotion.
In summary, T-Mobile's request for the return of the Caramel Apple Empanada has created buzz among customers.
Taco Bell may bring back the Caramel Apple Empanada due to its history of reintroducing popular menu items. A joint T-Mobile promotion could facilitate its return.
