"Saucy" Sayings at Taco Bell: Humorous Slogans

Paula Myers
In 1994, Taco Bell launched its new campaign to add sayings to its hot-sauce packets. Nearly 5 billion sauce packets are distributed to their restaurants every year. Who makes these sayings up? There was a contest among Taco Bell customers to publish their humorous phrases on the sauce packets. Twelve customers were selected, got their phrases published, and also received free Taco Bell for a year. It was a good marketing move.

Do you love to read the sayings on the hot sauce packets at Taco Bell? I love to read them. They brighten my day. Here are some of the humorous sayings that are found on those packets:

Help! I can't tell where I am. It's dark and I can hear laughing.

I'm taking the day off. See next packet.

At night the sporks pick on me.

I'm in good hands now.

This space for rent. Inquire within.

Will you scratch my back?

Can I drive?

How many of these do you already have in your glove compartment?

Polly want a taco?

The road to mediocrity is littered with empty ketchup packets.

Mild sauce...the new ketchup.

The official sauce of Taco Bell.

Live life one sauce packet at a time.

Warning! You're about to make a taco very happy.

Nice palm. I read a great deal of pleasure in your future.

My sauce is a honor student at Taco State.

I'm just doing this between films.

Open quickly...I'm burning up in here.

If you throw this, would it be a flying saucer?

Willing to relocate.

Will you marry me?

Why order a taco when you can ask it politely?

When I grow up, I want to be a waterbed.

Be gentle.

My other taco is a Chalupa.

Save a bun. Eat a taco.

Single hot sauce seeking friendship, maybe more.

Not to be used as a floatation device.

...Tails.

You had me at taco.

Do you add sauce left to right, or right to left?

IM A HOT T R U 2?

Use your stomach, not your mind.

I think that their sayings are hilarious. Whenever we go to the drive-thru at Taco Bell, I always make sure to ask for taco sauce or they won't put any in our bag. Got to have the sauce. I do enjoy reading the packets. So if you need some cheering up, go to Taco Bell and be sure to ask for the sauce packets. They will make you laugh.

    Glen William Bell is going to be laughing about it.

    I must be oblivious. I never even realized there were saying on hot sauce packets. You can bet I'll be looking for them the next time I go to Taco Bell. Great job!

  • sharonc25812/1/2007

    My fiancee proposed to me last week using the Will you marry me? sauce, with an engagement ring wrapped around it. :-) (Don't worry...he didn't actually do it IN a Taco Bell).

    lol, I just looked at one earlier and it was Will You Marry Me? I thought, how strange. Funny that I saw this today after I realized there were sayings on them. I don't eat Taco Bell a whole lot althoough I do love it.

  • Susie11/14/2007

    Most of those are pretty good. I will be sure to ask for sauce next time.

  • M.S.Medina11/14/2007

    I never realized that there were sayings on the packets though I don't eat often at Taco Bell. I do love the idea and the sayings are hilarious.

  • Melissa Carole11/13/2007

    Very funny. I never noticed the jokes!
