When the news broke that lettuce sold at multiple Taco Bell restaurants had been linked to the cyclosporiasis outbreak, Business Insider's Anneta Konstantinides was suddenly flooded with texts.
"Have you heard!?" "Are you in the clear?" "This must be devastating."
The truth is, though, she wasn't too stressed about her Taco Bell habit. Konstantinides has been reporting on the chain for six years and knew that there were plenty of lettuce-free options she could still enjoy.
Taco Bell knows this, too, and has been offering $1 deals on certain menu items — all lettuce-free — to thank its loyal fans and entice customers who might still be hesitant.
Last Wednesday, it was the Enchirito that got the $1 special. Today, July 28, it will be the Mexican Pizza — one of the chain's most beloved menu items.
