You're a crazy person for putting this together, but you did a real good job on it.

Am I blind or is there no crunch wrap supreme on that list? That's the only thing I've had from a taco bell that I would consider edible food.

Typical modern fast food journalism, nothing scored below a 70.

He actually did this or was it just something you made up?

A Chicken XXL Grilled Stuffed Burrito is $6.39 just by itself? That has to be some kind of San Francisco "we're going to tax the shit out of fast food because we know what's best for you" type thing, yeah? Also, to get a real accurate view on this I don't think you can just order everything and go at it. You'll get tired of the taste and skew scores lower towards the end. And fast food has an extremely short life span, imo. Something that tastes alright piping hot will taste like dog shit if its even just mildly warm.

He actually did this. He did a periscope a couple weeks ago of him sitting at his kitchen table and taking a few bites out of everytime on their menu and rating them. It was pretty ridiculous.

As I near my mid-20s I find myself unable to choke down Taco Bell (with few exceptions). I think I'd rather eat at a DFAC than a Taco Bell most of the time.

More power to him for being able to enjoy things.

Okay, seriously, we need to get some scientists studying Dan's body like, right now. HOW THE FUCK IS THIS GUY STILL ALIVE!? I've become convinced that the secret to immortality is hidden somewhere in his soon-to-be-diabetes-riddled body.

Did anyone else watch the Burger King periscope with Paul, Dan, and his sisters? Holy shit was that a magical train wreck. Although, I felt bad for the employees because his family was being straight up rude. Also, guy in the truck that hopped the curb was probably justified but his truck was lifted so high Im comfortable with labeling him a douche bag anyways.

This is an amazing piece of research that has shown that a lot of Dan's choices are completely no-sensible, or that Taco Bells pricing scheme doesn't make sense, or both.

I don't agree with the rating on the spicy potato taco. I tried one of those today and thought it was the most boring item on their menu. I can validate that the grilled stuffed beef burrito is fantastic; although, I wouldn't rate it higher than the mexican pizza (my personal favorite).

I really hope the Giant Bomb crew has this graph on a projector in a conference room, and Jeff is profusely sweating and screaming at everyone

@jellybones: Do they actually refer to it as aioli? I'm pretty sure they refer to the spicy potato soft taco dressing as "chipotle sauce."

Aioli's too classy for a joint like taco bell.

Awesome work.

When the hour and mood are right, literally NOTHING will satisfy hunger cravings like Taco Bell.

This is so official-looking I started laughing out loud when it loaded. Fantastic stuff, thank you for putting this together. I was actually curious about how he'd rank this stuff bc after a 24 hour Taco Bell opened in my hometown and my bus between home and college now goes to a station with a Taco Bell, it's the only fast food I regularly crave. As polarized as Dan's opinions are bound to be, I'm curious!

Not curious enough to watch the actual periscope video though.

(Also seconding my disappointment that the crunch wrap supreme is absent. That thing is my biggest fast food weakness.)

Hilariously ditto for me on another absent item: Cheesy gordita crunch. It's probably for the better that there are no Taco Bells near me, cause I'd have eaten WAY more of those over the last few years if there were...

So I guess the best item is the Spicy Potato Soft Taco.
