00:00All right, everybody, welcome back to the Snack Boys.
00:03I'm Matty, he's Clem, and today we will be reviewing Taco Bell's new chicken nuggets.
00:09Right out of the gate.
00:10We're still in Orlando.
00:12We ordered this from a delivery app.
00:14We asked for all three sauces, we asked for three of each, actually, paid extra.
00:19As a matter of fact, they gave us one whole Bell sauce.
00:24We're missing the Hidden Valley Hot Ranch or something, and we're missing the Jalapeno
00:32Habanero.
00:33Honey mustard.
00:34Honey mustard.
00:35And I like honey mustard.
00:36I've never had the remix on.
00:37I was kind of excited about it.
00:38I was really excited for it, too.
00:40With that said, too, these look absolutely terrible as well.
00:43They smell all right, though.
00:44I will say that.
00:45They do smell all right.
00:46Some look okay, I should say.
00:47That one's freaking me out.
00:48We're also going to keep this real.
00:49It's been the end of a long day.
00:51This took an hour to get here.
00:53They still feel pretty warm.
00:54They do feel warm.
00:55I don't think we...
00:56Cold Taco Bell is no one's happy when it's not Taco Bell.
00:59No, but you're right.
01:00I was really excited for those sauces.
01:01Yeah, me too.
01:02I think that was going to be the potential star of the show.
01:06I will say, though, if you're Taco Bell, I feel like Bell sauce is your leader.
01:10You want this to become the franchise sauce.
01:12You do, yeah.
01:13Because it's theirs.
01:14Yeah.
01:15I'm going to raw dog it first.
01:16Okay, that's fair.
01:17I believe there's like tortilla...
01:26Part of the breading is tortillas, which I appreciate.
01:29The nugget game is a game that is very obviously crowded, but I still think these guys can
01:34get in.
01:35Good crunch.
01:36And actually pretty juicy.
01:38It's an all white meat nugget, which I appreciate as well.
01:45I'm just going to put it out there now.
01:48And listen, again, this was a long day.
01:50We had the Taco Bell...
01:51Oh, the Taco Bell.
01:52Pop-Tarts Bowl.
01:53These are good.
01:54This lifted my spirits.
01:55This was worth the wait, in my opinion.
01:58One nugget down.
02:01Yeah, they're good.
02:05Some of the nuggets we grew up with have lost some of the charm over the years.
02:08Yeah.
02:09They've lost their fastball.
02:10I think Taco Bell is making a move with these.
02:12We'll see, though.
02:13It's a longevity game.
02:14They'll climb.
02:15And the thing to me about these is they had those triangle chicken nuggets before.
02:19Remember those?
02:20Those were awesome.
02:21I think those are better than these.
02:23I really like those.
02:24They came with the cheese to dip in.
02:26Remember that?
02:27Well, that's the thing.
02:29The cheese was an option, but I was too busy getting all the other sauces that I was like...
02:34I think you have to embrace what you have with Taco Bell, and the cheese is one of your
02:38prized franchises.
02:41With that said, they are juicy.
02:43They're crispy, and they taste good.
02:45That sauce is good, too.
02:48Like I said, that one's freaking me out.
02:49You want to eat that freaking me out one?
02:50That's freaking me out, too.
02:51You want to eat that one?
02:52You want me to?
02:53Yeah.
02:54This is the... maybe the freak.
02:58Maybe just like overcooked.
02:59Oh.
03:00It's not good.
03:01Yeah.
03:02That's the Frankenstein of nuggets.
03:03It's okay?
03:04Not bad.
03:05It's just dry.
03:06Okay.
03:07Alright, overall, though, they're pretty good, and I feel like they could be even better.
03:11The fact that they forgot everything, and the fact that everything didn't look consistent.
03:18It would probably be higher than mid-8's... mid-7's, excuse me.
03:23But the way it was presented today, I'm giving it a 7-2.
03:26I'll say this.
03:28I'm grading a little bit of a curve, because I do think this is a good one.
03:32But it's not good.
03:33It's not good.
03:34It's not good.
03:35It's not good.
03:36because I do think some of this stuff
03:37might've been out of their control.
03:39I also have to admit, these are my kind of nuggets.
03:42I like these kind of nuggets.
03:43They're crispy, almost a popcorn-y,
03:45but sometimes popcorn nuggets,
03:47you're getting more breading than you're getting chicken.
03:50This gives you a lot of chicken.
03:51I'm giving an A3 and I really, really like them.
03:53I like them.
03:54That A3's high.
03:55That's high, and I'm sticking with it.
03:56Okay.
03:57Look at this.
03:58Ed, I'm gonna eat the rest of the Frankenstein nugget.
03:59I like it so much.
04:00For sure.
04:01Listen, I don't hate the review.
04:03If I picked it up, if I went for myself
04:05and I got it more quality control,
04:08if I got all the sauces,
04:10if they looked more consistent and it wasn't super late,
04:12they could definitely creep into the high sevens,
04:14possibly eights, so I don't hate it.
04:16Taco Bell, I'm gonna make this a call into you.
04:21I won't blame the Taco Bell franchise as a whole.
04:23Yeah, yeah, yeah.
04:25You guys could've had an all-time high score
04:27on the snack list if they had just delivered today.
04:29Is that a fair statement?
04:30Yeah, yeah, very possible,
04:31and this is only our second fast food item
04:34besides the Turkey Gobbler.
04:35And we remember how that turned out.
04:37It got sloppy.
04:38Maybe we're not made for the delivery fast food.
04:40We have to go to the restaurants.
04:41Maybe we have to go.
04:42Yeah, we gotta do it like Dave.
04:42We gotta do it like Fortnite and just stand outside
04:45and we could sit inside, too.
04:47Snack Boy's field trips are,
04:48I think there's a future for that.
04:49Yeah, I think that's gotta be it, but yeah,
04:50these, they're onto something,
04:51but I'm telling you, though,
04:53even I think in its purest form,
04:54I love those triangle ones.
04:56I don't know why they abandoned them.
04:57Those were great.
04:58Do you remember those?
04:59Yeah.
05:00Do you remember those?
05:01Oh, yeah.
05:02Those were great,
05:03they were always hot, piping out the fryer, like awesome.
05:07I have the same issue with KFC fries.
05:10People love the fries.
05:11I love the wedges.
05:12I'm like, these are not the wedges.
05:13Okay, the fries are great.
05:16Hated the wedges.
05:17I don't eat the wedges.
05:18All right, with that said, though,
05:19that's the review.
05:21Yeah, Taco Bell, pretty good.
05:23I'm willing to run it back at some point
05:24if we can get a full array of sauces.
05:26Me too, me too, yeah.
05:27Maybe we'll just do that on our own, too.
05:29We'll just post it on our socials.
05:31At snackboysbarstool, follow us.
05:34At snackboysstool on X slash Twitter.
05:36Subscribe, don't ever say X again.
05:39Don't give him that satisfaction.
05:41I'm not, I'm not in the battle.
05:43Oh, Tesla ad, I forgot who I'm talking to here.
05:45Guy that's looking sucks his dick.
05:47I don't, but with that said, yeah,
05:51we'll post a different review with the different sauces.
05:53Just on our phone, selfie style, so see you then.
