Taco Bell bike inspired by sauce packets actually exists
You read that headline correctly. Taco Bell has a bicycle decorated with their signature sauce packets on the bike frame.
The red wheels bring out the colorful packets and the restaurant logo beautifully.

This isn’t an item you can find on the dollar menu, however. These limited-edition bikes cost a whopping $450. In fact, the item is so limited, only 25 are available for purchase.
Musician and makeup artist Jeffree Star ordered two of the taco-themed bikes for him and his boyfriend, Nate Schwandt, as made public in a tweet.
“I ordered Nate and I these new new @tacobell bicycles and they just got to my house!! We need to film with these ASAP haha.”
Check out the bike below.

The bike may be so popular that it broke the Taco Bell merch site, but the product page is right here.
While the idea of the bike sounds awesome, Reddit user transplantkid pointed out some issues he found after ordering. Upon receiving it, the box it was shipped in was shredded due to the metal gears inside.
He also noted that the bike was not put together. With no instructions on how to build the bike, in addition to a crooked wheel, they were less than pleased with the novelty Taco Bell item.
There’s one person we believe definitely deserves a Taco Bell bike. Her name is Myrtis Jewel Painter, and she’s 106 years old.
Before you continue reading, we suggest you grab some tissues, just in case you start crying.
Painter lives in Phoenix, Arizona, and she turned 106 Sunday, Nov. 4. And you know where she celebrated it? Precisely, Taco Bell.
The report comes from AZ Family, which notes she stepped into the restaurant, where employees and friends greeted her with claps and cheers.
Plus, the Taco Bell crew decorated the restaurant in honor of Painter. This might be too much for our hearts to handle.
“At 106? And they want to come to Taco Bell? And hang out with me?” the location owner Gleg Gladden tells AZ Family. “It’s just amazing.”
According to him, Painter has been a regular for eight years.
“I think Taco Bell is a good place to come to, I really do,” she says.
The party was complete with friends and families bringing the birthday girl gifts and, obviously, a lot of Mexican food.
According to one reporter’s tweets, the group celebrated the party with tacos and Mexican pizza.
