Taco Bell's Freeze drinks are a sweet take on frozen slushies that come in exciting flavors such as Blue Raspberry and Mountain Dew Baja Blast. Now fans of the icy drinks can sample the new Wild Strawberry Freeze and Wild Strawberry Candy Freeze. The former consists of strawberry-flavored syrup blended into a sweet frozen drink. On the other hand, the Wild Strawberry Candy Freeze features the same strawberry-flavored syrup, but with the addition of black candy seeds that make the drink look just like a real strawberry.
