Does Taco Bell have Nacho fries? How to get, release date, price, and all you need to know

Taco Bell is set to bring back the Nacho Fries for a nationwide limited-time release on March 10. The item made its debut back in 2018.

The fries were available early to Taco Bell rewards members on March 8 and 9 (only on the app). Regular customers will be able to purchase them from local outlets starting on Thursday.

The fast-food chain’s Brand Creative Head, Tracee Larocca, talked about the campaign in a press release. He said:

“We’ve explored tons of genres for Nacho Fries over the years, but this may be my favorite yet because it gave our most loyal fans a front row seat to co-create one of our biggest fan led campaigns ever.”

Larocca added:

“With the bar set this high, who knows where we’ll take Nacho Fries next.”

Viral marketing technique from Taco Bell

In recent years, the American fast-food giant has teased the annual limited-time Nacho Fries release with teasers for fake films. This time, the brand asked fans for suggestions on Twitter via the hashtag #FriesChallenge. Fans chose most of the elements for the latest Nacho Fries trailer.

According to the end result, the company decided to use a “time-loop” angle in the campaign, where the lead was stuck in 2018. Fans named the campaign's lead Venessa and her dog Baja.

A glimpse of the ad, which is set to be released soon, also features Ed Skrien playing a 1984’s Terminator-like character.

As a result of these viral marketing opportunities, the brand has successfully generated hype around its products.
