Alright, Taco Bell freaks, by now we've all geeked out about the new mystery menu item they've been teasing. Not even James Harden knows what it is, and he's in the freakin' commercial. The only information we know so far is that the new creation will be available Feb. 8, but super fans can pre-order it right now. Those crazy wise enough to do just that will be able to try the new dish two whole days before anyone else. For us, that is too dang long to be kept in the dark, so we did some speculating to pass the time. Apparently, according to Grub Street, Taco Bell's press release from January seemed to talk about two menu items "coming together" to make one grand masterpiece. 

 

With that thought in mind, we devised some possible menu combos that could very well be the new mystery food. Gordita Cinnabon Delights, anyone? We wouldn't put it past T-Bell at all. Rumor has it, the new item is the Quesalupa, but we're not convinced. The Taco Bell we know and love is way more creative than that, amiright? Even if none of our guesses end up being accurate, they'd be fools not to take our creations into consideration. See for yourself. They're pure fire.

1. Fiery, Nacho Cheese and Cool Ranch Doritos Locos Tacos. Okay. Deep breaths. Here's what's going to happen: T-Bell's going to take their three Doritos Locos taco varieties, smash them all up, fillings and all, and call them Doritos. Locos. Nachos. RING THE ALARM, Y'ALL. How much sense does this make, though? Why isn't this already a thing?! UPDATE: Apparently it is a thing but only in Taco Bell Costa Rica. What the frick, you guys!? What is it with America having the lamest fast food menus!?

2. Cinnamon Twists and Nachos Bell Grande. Here us out with this one. Instead of classic nacho chips in their Nachos Bell Grande, we think T-Bell's going to replace them with Cinnamon Twists! You can never go wrong with sweet and savory. Think of it like Taco Bell's version of dunking your fries in your ice cream —similar to McDonald's McChoco Potato. Make it happen, T-Bell.

3. Mexican Pizza and Crunchwrap Supreme. Folks, if you haven't tried it, the Mexican Pizza is one of the most underrated menu items in TB history. Remember when you were little, and Dairy Queen had Treatzza Pizza's!? Bueller? It's like that but with Taco Bell ingredients. If we're wrong about guesses one and two, this one has to be it. A Mexican Pizza made into a Chrunchwrap Supreme makes so. Much. Sense. That way, we can get all the benefits of the pizza without the mess all over our hands. God, we're good at this. Taco Bell, if you want to hire us as a consultant on your next menu creation, we're available.

4. Biscuit Taco and Smothered Burrito. Originally we wanted to combine their famous breakfast Waffle Taco with the Smothered Burrito, but then we noticed it wasn't on the menu anymore (WHY!?). Let us just say, the second coming of the waffle taco better be in that damn mystery box, or we're switching to Del Taco and Taco John's. We digress. The plan here is to take the breakfast Biscuit Taco and smother it just like the burrito in the picture. A sour cream, maple syrup and cheese drizzle would do nicely, wouldn't you agree?

5. Cinnabon Delights and Cheese Quesadilla. Alright. We're gettin' freakier with this one, but Taco Bell is the master of convincing us to put ridiculous things in our mouth, so you never know. Maybe, just maybe, Taco Bell's mystery item is the Cheese Quesadilla with tortilla dough made from those sugary Cinnabon Delights. BYE.

6. Starburst Cherry Freeze and Cheesy Fiesta Potatoes. Here's our final guess: TB is going to drizzle their Starburst Cherry Freeze onto their Cheesy Fiesta Potatoes. Honestly, what the hell is wrong with us? Maybe the mystery item isn't a combo of menu items at all. Maybe it's an edible version of Kanye West's new album? Perhaps it's a chance to eat Chalupas with Guy Fieri? Whatever it is, we welcome it with open arms and drooling mouths.
