UNSCIENTIFIC POLL RESULTS: How Many Taco Bell Sauce Packets Do You Have in Your Home?

/ / Unscientific Poll / 3 Comments

Taco Bell Hot Sauce Packets

The results are in for our How Many Taco Bell Sauce Packets Do You Have in Your Home? Unscientific Poll and almost 50 percent of you who participated said you don’t have any Taco Bell packets at home. That’s surprising to see from the readers of a junk food blog. I thought that number was going to be much lower.

A few notes about the results, which you can see in the table below.

  • There were 1,268 votes.
  • I’m an idiot because “50-100 packets” should’ve said “51-100 packets.”
  • I had 19 packets when the poll started, but now I have 27. So I’ve moved up a packet bracket.

Thank you to everyone who participated!

Number of Packets Votes Percent
Zero 443 34.94%
Zero because I think Taco Bell is disgusting 177 13.96%
1-10 packets 256 20.19%
11-25 packets 175 13.8%
26-50 packets 134 10.57%
50-100 packets 44 3.47%
More than 100 20 1.58%
More than 100 because I live in a Taco Bell 19 1.5%

If you’re disappointed the Moscow Mule ones are non-alcoholic, I imagine one could soak them in a Moscow Mule for a while to make them boozy. Please drink responsibly. (Spotted by Rachel C at Target.)
