A new study conducted by a group of men in the midwest concluded that Taco Bell would cost less if they didn’t pass out so much hot sauce.

“We visited twenty taco bells around Detroit, every time they passed out twenty to thirty packets of hot sauce,” said the men. “A number six meal only comes with two chalupa’s and a taco. Who uses that much sauce”

They argued that the perfect amount of sauce for any Taco Bell item is one packet. “I don’t know anyone that is going to put seven or eight packages of hot sauce on their burrito supreme. That’s overkill!”

The study found that the packets of hot, mild, and fire sauce cost Taco Bell about two cents each. Their study concluded that if the average order for a single person has only three items, Taco Bell Employees should give you six packages of sauce.

The men who did the study said they would eat at Taco Bell more often if it was just a little cheaper. “It’s an easy fix,” They said, “Train your employees to give out the bare minimum of sauce.”

The men all agree that over time Taco Bell might be able to bring back the old pricing strategy of $.59, $.79, $.99 of the 1990s. “That price structure was great, the menu prices were the best.”

There is no comment from Taco Bell on their findings.
