Taco Bell invites fans to construct custom dishes — and plucking the tastiest creations for their menu

The fast-food company launched a new nationwide in-app experience called Fan Style that allows fans to create, name and share their custom orders for anyone else to order. When other patrons order the custom creation, the original creator receives reward points equal to the value of the customized item. The more it gets ordered by app users, the more rewards the creator gets.
