Taco Bell’s Crispy Chicken Crunchwrap Sliders are a specious hit. “Very good. I’m loving whatever Taco Bell is doing with the crispy chicken. I went with the light pico. Nice and cheesy, very creamy. The sliders are like half the size of a regular Crunchwrap,” Snach with Zach exclaimed in a review. It’s also “delicious,” flavor-wise he adds. “The honey mustard slider is so good!! I’m gonna need it to be permanent,” a diner said. “The jalapeño honey mustard one is so good!!” adds another.

Snach with Zack also reviewed Panda Express’s new Buldak Dynamite Sweet & Sour Chicken. “I am an absolute fiend for spicy food, Buldak included. Panda Express is billing this one as ‘Super Hot’, and if the Dynamite Sweet & Sour Chicken isn’t quite where you want it to be, you can get bonus packets of Buldak Original Hot Sauce.” In the video he calls “delicious,” after his first bite. “The chicken is wicked tender,” he says, adding that overall the taste is more savory than sweet. “My son tried it was so hot,” a follower commented.
