Visuals: In a desert with a time-lapsed animation of clouds, a picture of the Taco Bell building (the design and interior of which were used from 1988 to 1994) is seen. Then two skidmarks form on the ground.

Variants:

  • A superimposed variant exists on some commercials.
  • On one commercial, the 1985 Taco Bell logo is seen over a black background.

Audio Variants:

  • Sometimes, the jingle is extended.
  • On one commercial, the jingle is accompanied by a horse whinny and several Hanna-Barbera sound effects (a ricochet sound, a boing and a "zing-out" whistle).

2nd Tag (1989-1993)




Visuals: At the end of the commercial, a golden bell swings to the center, taking up the whole screen. The camera zooms out to reveal that it is inside a bell tower window (a sunset of which can be seen outside), which turns into a red semicircle. As it does so, two orange lines merge together from both sides. The bell stops ringing and turns yellow with a green mouth and an orange waist. While all this happens, the words "TACO BELL" slide into place from both directions.

Technique: CGI.
