International Taco Bell Challenge

  • 🎯 The hosts engage in a Taco Bell taste test to guess the country of origin for various international menu items.
  • 🗺️ The game involves throwing darts at a map to indicate their guess, with points measured by a "Taco Bellhop."
  • 🏆 The loser of the game faces a consequence: dipping their toes in Doritos dust to become "Doritos Locos Tac-toes."

Triple-Shell Stack Taco

  • 🌮 The first item is a triple-shell stack taco, described as stacked with meat and creamy sauce, making it quite tall.
  • 💡 Rhett speculates about precarious packaging for such a tall item in the US, suggesting it might not be American.
  • 🇪🇸 This discontinued item, featuring three tostadas, beef, cheese, salsa, and tomatoes, is revealed to be from Spain.

Warm Apple Chimichanga

  • 🍎 The second item is a hot apple turnover-like pastry, which Link initially hopes contains cheese but is an apple chimichanga.
  • 🔥 The hosts find it extremely hot but acknowledge its inventive nature and superior taste compared to cinnamon twists.
  • 🇳🇿 This dessert, a warm apple filling in a cinnamon-sugar dusted tortilla, is found at Taco Bells in New Zealand.

Naked Egg Taco

  • 🍳 The third item is an egg-shelled taco filled with hash browns, cheese, and bacon, which the hosts find inventive.
  • 💬 Link questions if it's truly a taco if the shell doesn't hold its shape without assistance, sparking a debate on taco definitions.
  • 🇺🇸 Despite being an inventive concept, the "nekkid egg taco" was a discontinued US item, which the hosts claim was never truly seen or ordered.

Chocoball Dessert

  • 🍫 The final mystery item is a chocolate-covered donut or cake ball with a chocolate and cream filling, described as moist and delicious.
  • 🇵🇹 The dessert, a "chocoball," is revealed to be available at Taco Bells in Portugal, surprising the hosts who expected Asia or South America.

Game Conclusion

  • 🥇 Link wins the international taste test challenge, securing victory by a narrow margin.
  • 🦶 Rhett, as the loser, prepares for the Doritos Locos Tac-toes punishment in the follow-up episode.
