BEND, Ore. — A man whose car was stranded in central Oregon snow for five days survived by eating taco sauce packets and starting the engine periodically to warm up.
A snowmobiler found Jeremy Taylor, 36, of Sunriver, on Friday and a search and rescue team member who rode to him on a large snow tractor brought him out of the woods, said Sgt. William Bailey, the spokesman for the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office. Taylor, an avid outdoorsman who loves to go off-roading, was last seen getting gas on Feb. 24 in Sunriver.
He told his rescuers he and his dog, Ally, became stuck in deep snow on a U.S. Forest Service road later that same day.He attempted to hike out, but the snow was too deep, so Taylor and Ally returned to his car. “Thank you everyone, I’m safe my Ally dog is safe. I really appreciate all the help. Got lucky, lets never do that again. I’ll be in touch with everyone soon,” he wrote on his Facebook page late Friday.In response to a friend’s Facebook comment about how he ate three Taco Bell hot sauce packets during the ordeal, he joked: “Taco Bell fire sauce saves lives!”Central Oregon has been hammered with snowstorms in recent weeks.
I can’t even imagine how difficult this would be. I feel like this wouldn’t be that filling and would burn. j2311OU
He hadn't just shot a Russian man had he?
Was it fire sauce or just hot?
They usually give you 10 packets per taco, so this makes sense.
A human can survive without food for a very long time. 'Starving' for 5 days did not harm this man or put him at risk for death and the taco sauce didn't magically keep him alive.
A human being can survive 3 weeks without food. Mahatma Gandhi survived 21 days of complete starvation
Blueraydre joerogan
haleyhollern this could have been me with my tbell sauce collection rip
The moment you were trained for, NoahRJA
I am poor so that is what I eat daily.
Finally… the hero America has been missing! 🇺🇸🌮🦅🇺🇸
You don't even need food to survive 5 days.
At least we can rest easy know his butthole was burning
Oh his poor stomach and butthole
Soooooooooooo, just how many hot sauce packets was this guy sitting on
I bet Taco Bell's stock went up. 🌮
See, there is a good reason to save those sauce packets, in your car.
ErikLoomis What if this were you, and the packets contained ketchup instead of taco sauce? Oh, and instead of Oregon, you’re stuck in Donner Pass.
Note to self... store up on taco packets. Wait, I don’t think I’ll have to worry about snow storms in Texas (southern).
Didn't he have a phone? The article does not mention it
I think he should receive free tacos for the free advertising
Have you ever read what's in those packets? Nothing that would make them hot...go figure
People will go to great lengths to come up with the latest internet challenge.

SusieQuickened I wonder if he will hate hot sauce nor or be addicted lol I'm glad hes alive tho
he had common scene. that's hard 2 find these days.
Why is Roger Stone in Oregon?
hot or nah?
This sounds like that one episode of The Sopranos
Live Más.
A good plan with a regrettable exit strategy.
This is why Pillsbury needs to bring back Space Food Sticks.
These stories are played out now. Everyone has a smart phone. Weather is predicted weeks/days in advance. If you want to ignore it and drive into a blizzard. Tacos should be your only meal ever purchased solely from Taco Bell.
At least YOUR writer understands how snow works. Unlike the writer at CNN
I live on those packets and I’m not in a car or in a snowstorm or in Oregon.
Blueraydre He probably ate the tacos real quick thinking he wasn’t goin to be there long 🤦🏾♂️
Happy for him but, man, that must have been some mild sauce!

sct_anderson It's a survival issue, they may just save our lives one day!! ;) lovemytacobellsaucestash
Man Saved by Condiments MaryJoPehl
OregonStrong I hope it was decent sauce, though. Ya know, authentic. Not that commercial Taco Bell slop. I mean, I wouldnt be caught DEAD eati... oh, right.
He didn't have to use the bathroom then?
Is he a college student?
BSkylstad What do you have in your vehicle to eat for 5 days? Montana be careful while traveling - you might want to stock your vehicle w/ something other than taco sauce...just in case. My truck currently has organic dog biscuits🐶, hand & body warmers...going to remedy this today!
Thousands of men, women, and children stranded in the United States during every snowstorm with only whatever they can find in dumpsters for food. Please write this article.
Hopefully they were Del Taco sauce packets and not those God awful Taco Bell ones.
What he didn’t know was just 100m away there was a beautiful damsel stranded in her car with a 36 pack of tacos supreme and no hot sauce. Sadly she didn’t make it.
nythinglp I just found your next husband 🙌🏻 Survival of Taco Sauce!!!
Really? How much nutrition was he getting? Call me when he started to eat his dog.
Oh my God. Why do people live in Oregon? Couldn’t they just go in the summer to visit when it’s nice?
This is why I don’t clean my car out more often
darrylw71 Could have used the taco sauce to make eating the dog taste better. JustSayin
darrylw71 Just added to my list if survival gear
Uh. People can live months w/o food.
That's how i survived law school.
tacobell saves another life
Hopefully he had some rolls of TP with him too.
Yo quiero Taco Bell! It’s a life saver. HowieCarrShow dbongino TheKuhnerReport
My fiancé convinced me part of being an adult was throwing out all those old taco sauce packets. Are you telling me she may be orchestrating my murder
Having a dog for company probably helped.
Why’d he eat the taco packets? You can go way longer without food. I did a five day fast last month.
Glad they were found in time. Man’s best friend was looking more and more like man’s best meal while ‘the meal’ was wondering how his master tasted with taco sauce.
Wasn't this an episode of the Sopranos?
There are people doing that right now and they are not trapped in a car. It’s called being in poverty.
The thought that Taco Bell kept someone alive is disturbing
HEARTBURN!
If he doesn't get an endorsement deal, no one should
CarpeNoctom This should be taco bell's new advertisement 😂😑.
The human body can go months without food.
I’ve done this at home rather than shop.
Saucebound you say?
Ok
Snowstorm ? Is it not , according to the Dem's, the 'Global Warming ' era ?
I smell an endorsement deal. 🤘😜😎 tacobell
shanedawson you were in Oregon?
Big surprise given that Hilary's campaign did not survive on hot sauce packets
Taco Bell, sorry to steal your heroic hot sauce thunder. But a human can survive about 3 WEEKS without food. One week w/o water. Heck, if this guy thinks you saved his life. You'll have a life long customer! Me, well you don't have to be my hero. I go there anyway
Also, with water - say, melted snow - entire possible to survive without the sauce packets. “At the age of 74 and already slight of build, Mahatma Gandhi ... survived 21 days of total starvation while only allowing himself sips of water.”
Mood
Taco Bell will Love this story
This isn’t TheOnion?
I guess I’ll have to survive on petrified fries I’ve dropped but couldn’t find...assuming I’m able to find them 🍟
I’m gunna guess he would have lived regardless.
Hot saucy esplosive poo cha cha cha!
Un señor se fue a por tabaco hace 40 años y no ha vuelto... A man went for tobacco 40 years ago and has not returned ...
Taco Bell offers man tacos free for life. Man declines, dog growls.
tacobell this guys out of hot sauce now you guys should help replenish his supply. Maybe throw in some 🌮 to go with the sauce? Maybe 🌯 too?
Someone should tell Hillary. Now maybe she will start carrying it for real.
Oh 💩
Sopranos episode!
This is a crap news story. People fast for 10 days. And he had plenty of snow to melt for water.
From tacobell or someplace else?
tacobell saves the day 🌶 But exactly why if it snows where u live put a blanket, snacks and water in case in your car.⛄️
Like The Sopranos episode Pine Barrens
You can survive weeks without food, but y’all did good with an attention-grabbing headline.
Sounds like a sopranos episode
It takes almost two months to starve to death.
Next time when you say you don’t need any sauce but tacobell gives you 30 anyway, they might be saving your life.
CarpeNoctom Isn’t that an episode of sopranos
Tacos & taco sauce should now be added to the food groups.
tacobell
can you be more specific? which taco sauces?
Ppl thought I was crazy for a leaving a picnic basket full of nuts, dried fruit, granola bars, & water n the back of my car. Plus the things that go n the basket 🧺😐
IanPardonnet didn’t know you spent time in Oregon recently...
a true warrior
Did the same with pudding. But no snow storm. Or car. For 364 days. Every year.
Upon rescue, they promptly rushed him to a proctologist.
So they do come in handy for something
big deal.... sounds like the first semester of my sophomore year
No one dies from not eating for 5 days you dumbshits

Cautionary tale leading to the conclusion that you should never clean your car.
Proof in the pudding it’s real public school food 🍅 via legislation stroke of 🖊 satiates the hungriest of the 😋 if only they not to weak to open package tacobell taco sauce 🤤
It’s why we collect 8,340,710 extra fire packets in the glove box bruh.
tacobell
Could be worse
The human body can go without food for three weeks . . . He would have survived regardless.
Is this a relative of yours, AmandaCostner ?
Did he have water though? The average healthy human can go 2-3 weeks without food but less than 3 days without water.
is this me?
Who doesnt have a glove compartment full of sauces and condiments?
elmercc how was Oregon?
I do a 7 day water cleans without the taco sauce ever year. Not a big deal.
Taco Bell For the save!
If he had water, he's fine. You can survive way longer without food.
Live mas.
Sounds like Pauley and Christopher
ne0liberal
Sounds like me early 20's.
Um... I know people who regularly fast for up to 21 days ... and it’s healthy.
Better than mayo
Taco power forever🌮
Winter is God's revenge on mankind.
That's why you stay home and off the roads
tacobell
That hot sause?
lil_kruton this u
I know people that do that without being stuck in a storm.
Taco Bell saves lives blessed
Bliss!

Amtrak train stranded in Oregon: Live updatesAn Amtrak train headed for Los Angeles with nearly 200 people on board came to a standstill Sunday evening after hitting a tree that had fallen onto the tracks. More than 24 hours later, there's still no movement. Ah, and so goes the infrastructure in the richest country in the world. This seemed like the setup for a psychological experiment.
