Self-proclaimed \u201cTaco Bell King\u201d reveals viral hack to save money on chips and cheese Taco BellA Taco Bell worker who calls himself the \u201coriginal Taco Bell King\u201d has shared a viral hack with customers to save money. Fast food prices in the US are on the rise, with a 2023 report by Restaurant Business Magazine revealing an exponential 8.2% jump each year. It\u2019s not uncommon for customers to spend over $30 on fast food, completely unheard of in previous years. A list revealed McDonald\u2019s hamburgers only cost a low $0.85 in the 1990s, compared to the $6.19 of today. This has led avid fast food buyers to turn to various money-saving hacks, one of which has become a sensation on TikTok. How to save money at Taco Bell A viral video of TikTok user, caleb_lennon, a Taco Bell worker, is making waves on the platform. The self-proclaimed \u201cTaco Bell King\u201d, Caleb\u2019s video has gathered over 100K views. He shares, \u201cIf you ring up the chips and cheese, it\u2019s going to cost you $2.29\u2026 But if you ring up a side of chips and a side of cheese, it\u2019s way cheaper\u201d. He demonstrates this on the computer system workers use to fill in your order. Not everyone, however, was impressed. One commenter said, \u201cThe app doesn\u2019t have a side of chips where I\u2019m at.\u201d Another commented sarcastically, \u201cCool let me just go behind the counter and ring things up.\u201d Apparently, if you order via the Taco Bell app, you can\u2019t utilize the hack. However, some customers complained that even when they ordered in person, the prices were still significantly higher than Caleb demonstrated. \u201cHere the side of cheese alone is $1 and getting only chips isn\u2019t an option\u201d, one user comments. \u201cNot even, they raised the price of cheese to $1 now\u201d, another wrote. One thing that everyone agrees on, however, is that Taco Bell\u2019s prices have become problematic: \u201cThis place used to be affordable. Now they price gouge their broke customers.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
