New Taco Bell item sells a lot of cheese sauce

Fast food chain Taco Bell’s latest menu addition has been good news for dairy and potato producers.  Their Nacho Fries debuted in January on their dollar menu, but have already sold more than 53 million orders.  That’s more than 780-thousand gallons of cheese sauce since January, and that’s not counting the cheese and cheese sauce the chain sells for other menu items.

Parent company Yum! Brands recently announced the limited-time item has been extended into early April.  So far, no word on if the chain will make this a permanent part of the menu.

The seasoned fries and cheese sauce add up to 400 calories.
