Taco Bell knows you're upset about losing potatoes. It's sorry it hurt you. And it's bringing them back.
Last year, Taco Bell cut a number of items from its menu, including two dishes that featured its seasoned potato bites: Cheesy Fiesta Potatoes and the Spicy Potato Soft Taco. Those two items will be back in restaurants on March 11, the chain announced on Thursday. Rumors of potatoes getting axed started to swirl last summer after a Reddit user, identified as a verified employee, said potatoes were leaving the menu. Taco Bell soon confirmed the news, leading to a stream of dismay online. "Taco bell getting rid of potatoes is worse than my parents divorce," one person tweeted in July. "I don't think I can forgive Taco Bell for taking potatoes off their menu," wrote another. People posted cry-face emojis, and heartbreak emojis. A Change.org "petition for Taco Bell to NOT remove all potato items," among other items, garnered over 5,000 signatures. The potatoes were booted from Taco Bell's menu in August.

Win-win...
The line at our local Taco Bell is ridiculously long at all hours. They must be doing something right.
Yo quiero tater tots..
That or there are a LOT of stoners where you live.
Those Taco Bell $5 box meals are a good deal. Probably a chemical bonanza going on, but it does cure some hunger for a cheap price.
Hear, hear! This would become one of their most popular items.
Cheap and quick, perfect for millennials who haven't cooked a meal in their lives.
And the ingredients are dirt cheap!!!
