Taco Bell recently added an all-new candied slushy flavor to its drink menu inspired by the taste of the red cherry Starburst candy. The sweet slushy joins the fellow strawberry Starburst flavor in the fast food eatery's drink menu.
The cherry Starburst slushy is exactly how it sounds it would taste, infused with the rich and sour taste of the popular cherry chewing candy. The slushy comes in a fitting red hue and is served in a 16-ounce serving size. The drink is also available for order through the Taco Bell food app and is reduced in price to $1 during the eatery's Happy Hour that occurs daily between 2 to 5pm. This is a great fruity treat for fans of the popular chewing candy looking to try it out in a new format.
