This creation was offered only as a small test in Bakersfield, California. It later made its way to restaurants in Kansas City in mid-April. And it’s not over yet.

It’s still in test mode, but “the results and consumer feedback are very encouraging,” according to a spokesperson. “We’re just planning what’s the right the timing,” Kat Garcia, Taco Bell’s senior manager of marketing, said.

I Ate The Double Down
