The Decades Menu helps unite generations of fans who fondly remember these menu items with a new era of fans who have yet to experience the pleasure of a savory tostada, try the legendary Green Sauce Burrito, or
Take your first bite of a Meximelt,” the chain said in a press release.

As part of the promotion, Taco Bell also plans to release special retro merch on October 29, including “limited-edition Decade hoodies and limited-edition Decade stainless steel mugs featuring unique designs from the '60s and '00s.”

There is also the option to upgrade your purchase of a medium sized mug to a “Limited Edition Decade Mug”, but only while supplies last.

“Everyone remembers the moment they fell in love with Taco Bell and that one special menu item that brings you back,” Taylor Montgomery, chief marketing officer, said in a statement. “The Decades Menu and the merch we create are an ode to our rich history and a love letter to our fans, whether they have been strolling through our drive-thru for decades or are just about to enjoy their first Caramel Apple Empanada to discover.”

Taco Bell is the latest fast food chain to embrace nostalgic releases.

In August, McDonald's released new collectible cups with nods to Beanie Babies, Hello Kitty and more.

Earlier this month, Rosati's Pizza offered the 1964 price on a 14-inch pizza as part of a special anniversary offer.
