Making Mealtime Meaningful: Discover how we're giving back with the 12T Cares program →

Taco Bell’s popular Cinnamon Twists are not made as we expected. You could have given us a million guesses and we never would have gotten it right. In fact, these treats are actually made out of fried noodles! The Internet is in total shock over this (us included). @071823abcm is the TikTok user who is sharing the news in a quick but mindblowing video.

When the video begins, we see some normal looking pasta being placed inside of a fryer. After about 40 seconds have passed, the noodles make their way to the top of the oil. At this time, they start to resemble the cinnamon twists that you know and love. We had a lot of fun watching them slowly expand into the puffy deliciousness that we crave.

From there, the cinnamon twists are given the dusting of sugar that gives them their delightful flavor. While some of you may be ready to head to your cupboard and start frying up pasta, be forewarned. Taco Bell is here to let you know that’s a bad idea. “While our Cinnamon Twists may have the shape of rotini, you won’t get very far frying traditional pasta at home,” said the restaurant tells Delish.

“The twists are a mixture of wheat flour, yellow corn meal, rice flour and salt,” they went on to say.
