Following the launch of a mysterious new Super Bowl promotion on January 7th, Taco Bell is now giving fans the chance to pre-order its secret new dish. While clues are still limited, loyal Taco Bell fans can begin blindly ordering the new mystery creation sight unseen.
The new Taco Bell promotion initially began with a redacted press release that gave consumers a few clues about the latest menu addition. Now the chain has released three 15-second teasers that allude to the brand's Super Bowl ad. The teasers are meant to entice fans into pre-ordering the new mystery item sight unseen. Those who are trusting enough to place their order ahead of time will be able to pick up their mystery dish on Saturday, February 6th, just ahead of the Super Bowl.
