After being trapped in his car for five days during a snow storm, Jeremy Taylor and his dog Ally were rescued. Taylor informed authorities that he survived by periodically starting his car for warmth and eating hot sauce packets.

Taylor replied to a comment on his Facebook, proclaiming: "Taco Bell fire sauce saves lives." The Oregon man's story caught Taco Bell's attention, and the chain has made sure to set him up with plenty of hot sauce packets.

In a statement to The Oregonian, the chain said, "We know our hot sauce packets are amazing, but this takes it to a whole new level. We're in touch with Jeremy and have sent him a well-deserved care package, a year's supply of Taco Bell, and of course, all the sauce packets that come with it."

We're glad Taylor is safe, and that he now has a year's supply of hot sauce packets (and tacos to put them on)!

An Oregon man was found in his car with his dog, after being stuck in the snow for five days. His method of survival? Hot sauce packets, according to Deschutes County Sheriff's Office.

On Thursday, February 28, the sheriff's office posted on Facebook seeking information about Jeremy Taylor, who at that point was considered a missing person. The 36-year-old had last been seen the previous Sunday, getting gas in Sunriver, OR. The post mentioned that Taylor frequented a forested area nearby for off-roading, and that he may not have a cell phone with him.

On March 1, a snowmobiler reported that Taylor had been located on a forest service road. The sheriff's office shared that Taylor and his dog Ally "were found to be in good condition, but hungry after being stuck in the snow for five days." Taylor told investigators that his car had gotten stuck in the snow on the forest service road on Sunday, and he fell asleep. He woke up on Monday to more snow, and he couldn't get his car to move.

Taylor tried to walk out with his dog on Monday, but the deep snow around him made it very difficult, so he and Ally went back to the car. According to the sheriff's office, Taylor stayed warm by periodically starting his car, and he "used a few taco sauce packets he had as food."

Taylor posted on Facebook, saying: "Thank you everyone, I'm safe, my Ally dog is safe...Got lucky, lets never do that again." Friends and family replied to tell Taylor how relieved they were that he was safe. He replied to one comment, "Taco Bell fire sauce saves lives".

So there you have it, T-Bell fans. I don't know about you, but I will be keeping plenty of hot sauce packets in the console of my car from now on.
