The quesarito is back at Taco Bell.
It's a specialty food item, a mix between a quesadilla and a burrito, that fans of the NBA Draft, the Denver Nuggets and Nikola Jokic will always view fondly.
That's because Jokic was drafted during a commercial for a quesarito.
It's a fact many people know, at least broadly: The NBA Draft was literally on commercial, a Taco Bell commercial, when Jokic was picked in the second round.
Taco Bell is leaning into that with this commercial:

The Nuggets responded with a quality Jokic video essentially denouncing Taco Bell (whose fault it certainly wasn't that the pick happened in the manner that it did).

Taco Bell responded with two words, "challenge accepted."
Regardless, it's all tied together in a fun way.
Jokic has developed into one of the best players in the history of basketball after going off the board with the 41st pick.
The quesarito is making a comeback to try to prove it belongs on the Taco Bell menu once again.
Jokic made it as a second-round pick. Why can't the quesarito make it as a comeback story?
Maybe they'll have to get Jokic to try one. That could complete the full-circle moment.
