Taco Bell made a huge Cheez-It and is holding it prisoner in California
Well, I guess someone had to make a giant Cheez-It eventually.
And who better to do that than the fast food restaurant that replaced taco shells with Doritos? Yes, Taco Bell is back at it with dark food sorcery, this time producing a Cheez-It that’s 16 times the size of a normal one for use in multiple experimental menu items at one restaurant in Irvine, California.
Meet the Big Cheez-It Tostada and the Big Cheez-It Crunchwrap Supreme.

The photos pretty much get the point across. But if that doesn’t work for you, allow me to explain: The Big Cheez-It Tostada is literally a humongous Cheez-It cracker with beef, sour cream, lettuce, tomatoes, and shredded cheese layered on top of it. It looks astoundingly unstable and messy, and a little bit like something a guy in his 20s who never learned how to cook would make for himself.
The Big Cheez-It Crunchwrap Supreme is literally just a regular Crunchwrap Supreme with the big cheese cracker in place of the hard taco shell that normally comes inside one of those bad boys.
Let’s cut to the chase: It sucks that this is only happening in one restaurant in southern California.
I’m not confident that a huge Cheez-It will actually be good (that’s a lot of artificial cheese powder) but I need to try it to feel alive. The world around us is burning, the biggest jerks on the planet have a firm grip on the steering wheel, and I can’t even try the big Cheez-It?
Please, people of Irvine, I beg you to buy a billion of these things so Taco Bell makes it available nationwide. We need this.
