The Crunchwrap Supreme has long been one of Taco Bell’s most popular menu items and for good reason. With a hard shell taco wrapped inside of a tortilla, it’s a burrito-taco love child that presents a lovely crunch, all while holding its beef, cheese, and greens in a stable structure. Well, in theory anyway.

As the lawyer Rob Freund wrote on Twitter, Taco Bell “is both dreadful and great.” In this instance, the Crunchwrap Supreme is dreadful, at least as far as living up to its advertised potential is concerned.


As Freund shared, Taco Bell is facing a class action lawsuit over its supremely crunchy wrap, specifically in regards to the beef, or lack thereof, that the wrap has in comparison to its advertisement photos. The images speak for themselves.



“This is a class action against Taco Bell,” the lawsuit says, “for unfair and deceptive trade practices for falsely advertising the amount of beef and/or ingredients contained in Taco Bell’s Crunchwrap Supreme®.”


According to two former Taco Bell employees on r/tacobell, the pitiful amount of beef might have something to do with the shape of the scooping utensil.



“Used to be not so bad because the old ladle for meat was a legit ladle,” Crossedge209 wrote, “and now it’s a weird comb that barely holds anything.”


“The lawsuit is 100% correct,” Bcatfan08 added. “The meat shown in the photo for the crunchwrap is about the entire amount in the whole crunchwrap. It's just one scoop.”


Unfortunately, the lawsuit has not reached a stage where members of the public are eligible to join, but if you’ve purchased a Crunchwrap Supreme at any point since July 31, 2020, keep your eyes peeled.
