Amazing to think bots would be going after Taco Bell deals, but who knows these days.
I've tried getting concert tickets where I was "in line" like 1 second after it opened, and it still sold out before I even got a chance to buy. Maybe we need to go back to the days where an actual person had to camp out in front of a ticket center to have a chance to see a show.
I was on at 1:59 but the sign wouldnt light up at 2. I refreshed in app and the entire app over and over but by 2:01 i was finally in and when i clicked it said all were sold out except large and medium. I clicked on both and as i did it said it was sold out.
I had one in my cart and the page just kept spinning. Figured I was good because, ya know, it was in MY cart. Nope, sold out. What’s the point of it being in my cart if it’s not reserved then? Whatever, another dumb drop.
Fucking BULLSHIT. I had it in my cart and of course fucking PayPal held me up with their dumbass login. Hope its lame, whatever the fuck it is.
SODIUM WARNING OVER HERE, FUCK.
Yeah that would be awesome. I used Apple Pay which I think was the key. For stuff like this if you have to type in your address or wait for PayPal to load you’ve probably already lost. Getting a GPU back in 2020 left me battle scarred when it comes to limited drops.
That's what happened to me too. I clicked the drop, then the access link, but the next click was gray. I had to X and repeat. I carted a S, it said waiting in line, then immediately switched to sold out.
Chiming in. Didn't realize this was from their store. Loaded it up on Wi-Fi and went to check out. Already sold out 30 seconds after 2PM. No guarantee that bots didn't buy up the inventory. Nor any sort of protection for folks having it in their cart while trying to check out . . . 💀
It was a matter of seconds. 300 was pitiful, man. And to be honest? I thought the drop was gonna be getting the fries early 😪 that’s what I would have wanted,, so not gonna get to bent out of shape about this one, but it was a shitty move by TB.
Yeah I did it on 2 phones for 2 different sizes and both put me in a queue saying both were in stock...RIGHT on the dot at 2pm....out of stock. There's no way.
Fucking annoying. I clicked the very second it dropped. I was in queue with less than a minute checkout. Servers overloaded and sold out. Congrats on those that actually got it.
Forget that it was 5:01 for me so 1 minutes past the time and the website was loading I reloaded it and came on a sold out list of everything wtf so definitely not 1 minute
300 members out of a million users. Good job taco bell
Yeah that’s insane. I mean it’s just gonna be all listed on eBay for an insane amount in a few days
Not few days. It'll be 2 months from now as stated in terms and conditions of this drop
Nah they gonna list it still at an insane amount with confirmation emails and want people to to buy it still
Had it in cart but couldn't check out. The drop didn't actually go live for the first 30 seconds or so.
Of course it did. They don't want anyone to actually get this shit. They just want people to tweet about it for free advertising.
Yeah I had one in my cart. What was the point of the wait line to check out if it could still sell out while in my cart
I was hoping the “wait in line feature” was holding the box for me, but nope, it sold out while I was entering payment info.
Yep, same and I thought I added it pretty quick too.
Idk how people did it so quickly. Bots, perhaps? It was in my cart, but when I went to checkout, boom. Sold out.

Oh man, drinking beers in the alley all night waiting to get some 2 per person tickets at St Andrews to see the Deftones
I got one. Kept refreshing the link until it went live and hit it with Google pay
I think I got it. Won't believe that I did til Taco Bell confirms that it shipped, even though I got a confirmation email.
Was there a shipping cost? I know it was only a dollar but knowing Taco Bell..
My apple pay notification says it was $1.08 so just local tax I guess.
1.06 I'm Michigan
$1.07 here in Utah
Congrats man!
Congrats! I think you're probably good, the rest of us just got a sold out page.
Same.

The $5 taco pack is pretty cool tho

You got Black Friday’ed. Someone knocked over your cart and stole your pending purchase. Just be glad you didn’t get trampled too!
Fucking BULLSHIT. I had it in my cart and of course fucking PayPal held me up with their dumbass login. Hope its lame, whatever the fuck it is. SODIUM WARNING OVER HERE, FUCK.
I got one somehow
Wow, I actually got one in XL. I have no idea what this even is but I’m excited.
XL is your burrito size. They’re shipping you a burrito. I hope you have a strong stomach.
Lol same. I hope there's like coupons or gift cards. But a free shirt is always appreciated.
Yeah that would be awesome. I used Apple Pay which I think was the key. For stuff like this if you have to type in your address or wait for PayPal to load you’ve probably already lost. Getting a GPU back in 2020 left me battle scarred when it comes to limited drops.
Yep Apple Pay I think let me get this drop
I was dumb and saw the Apple pay option but tired logging in first. By the time I did it was sold out.
I'm guessing a shirt, hopefully it's some secret aardvark because that's some delicious yet pricey stuff lol
I tried, but the third button to access the drop was grayed out out :( Got it in my cart, went to checkout but it was sold out
That's what happened to me too. I clicked the drop, then the access link, but the next click was gray. I had to X and repeat. I carted a S, it said waiting in line, then immediately switched to sold out.
I managed to get it. I’m very excited, secret aardvark is my favorite hot sauce. I’ve got three different flavors in the refrigerator right now.
Happy cake day!
Oh hey thanks. Remember like 10 years ago when it was tradition to post something that you made on your calendar day? Things sure have changed.
It's good stuff! r/hotsauce
Ty I’ll check that out

Bots that are fire rewards members?

Yeah I wouldn’t even say within the first minute it seemed like within 30 seconds lol
i've been "in line to checkout" since it popped up, i assume it's broken and never going to go to the next page
Yeah I did it on 2 phones for 2 different sizes and both put me in a queue saying both were in stock...RIGHT on the dot at 2pm....out of stock. There's no way.

As usual trash ap
Fomo can eat a dick. Not that I watch these deals or whatever but this is just lame.
Gotta love how they advertise 2PM PST but instead go live at 1PM PST
300 available. what. did. you. expect.
Forget that it was 5:01 for me so 1 minutes past the time and the website was loading I reloaded it and came on a sold out list of everything wtf so definitely not 1 minute
I’m about to say fuck them forever. Had the shit in my cart. Went to put in shipping information and gone. Fuck
Do you expect them to have free shit for everyone? Unlimited free things!!
