This collaboration introduces a smoky, flavor-packed hot sauce that can be purchased for 20 cents as a standalone item. To celebrate the partnership, Taco Bell will also offer a limited-edition Disha Hot [Discovery Box](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/taco-discovery-box), which includes three packets of Disha Hot Sauce, a Cheesy Gordita Crunch, a [Doritos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hot-cool-ranch) Locos Taco, a Crunchy Taco, chips with nacho cheese sauce, and a medium fountain drink, all for $8.99. To add to the excitement, Taco Bell Rewards members can access the sauce and Discovery Box early, starting on September 24. A particularly exclusive perk for select Rewards members is a Taco Bell x Disha Hot liquid-infused vinyl version of Apollo’s latest album, God Said No. This unique album variant will be available through Taco Bell’s Tuesday Drop on the app, launching September 24 at 2 p.m. PST.
