Use cinnamon and sugar on Doritos instead of nacho cheese dust, put these new sweet Doritos in a pile with oatmeal, maple syrup, blueberries, scrambled eggs, ground-up sausage and voilà: BREAKFAST NACHOS.

Both companies were started in the early 60s, so it's silly to imagine nobody thought of that until 30+ years later.

“It’s actually the One Percenter,” the young clerk politely corrected me. Wait, what? “It’s called that because only 1 percent of the world can supposedly afford lobster,” she said.

And so it has come to pass that an outfit that previously employed a talking chihuahua to peddle 99-cent tacos is suddenly embracing the 1 percent. Foodies who might hold themselves above the Taco Bell fray are being put on notice. The next obvious question: Where does one get quality lobster in California?

“It’s from Maine,” she said. “All our meat is from where you supposedly get the best of everything. Our pulled pork is actually from Memphis and our brisket’s from Texas. It’s all imported.” So is the chicken, from Kentucky. This elliptical Kentucky chicken connection appeared to be one of the only things linking U.S. Taco Co. to its parent company Yum Brands, which brings Taco Bell, Kentucky Fried Chicken, and Pizza Hut to the masses.

YUM Brands is seriously out to destroy food as a usable human energy source.

Fucking TB opened near my house, now I can’t stop eating tacos

we live near a coffee shop that was previously a taco bell. it has the classic architecture with a mission bell up top and outdoor patio area. if i ponder the speed and ease with which I could obtain all the junk food combinatorics of a taco bell, had the original survived, it causes me to tremble.

our local taco bell remodeled recently and the new exterior color scheme is grey, white, and purple. it looks ghostly. does not make me crave tacos.

Is there a system in place to put people on permanent suicide watch after the obvious cry for help that is a Taco Bell-themed wedding?

a complimentary taco at the check in counter would be ace

calstars, Thursday, 16 May 2019 14:11 (four years ago) link

as would a complimentary baja blast fountain in the lobby

Dud for my first bout of food poisoning.

Classic for that getting me not to eat fast food for 20 years.

You step into the shower and what's in the soap dish? A taco. You turn on the water and what comes out? Liquefied taco.

Independent Living Ass (Old Lunch), Thursday, 16 May 2019 14:38 (four years ago) link

Hope you like tacos, mah dude, cuz you sure won't by the time you leave!

Independent Living Ass (Old Lunch), Thursday, 16 May 2019 14:39 (four years ago) link

omg I remember this and this makes my morning.

when Carey lived in town we used to watch her Buffy DVDs and during the episode where Angel turns into good Angel right before Buffy impales him and sends him in a portal to hell she yelled "TACO BELL???" in time with Angel's horrified, confused expression.

they opened a Taco Bell up the road from where I work in central London recently, people will actually queue out of the door to buy their offerings

The subtle yet persistent and instinctually undeniable scent of seasoned beef is diverted into the common areas of the residences from the cookhouse out back

I'm picturing a tower in the hotel containing a literal bell made of taco with a taco clapper that just like crunches and falls apart as soon as it tolls, and I'm laughing as I picture this.

i really hate to bang on about Mountain Dew Baja Blast, but I have noticed that it gives an odor more suited to a body wash or shampoo than a beverage, i think I might be into a Baja Blast skincare/beauty line

I thought this would be in Vegas or something for the tourist who wants to gamble 24 hours a day but only spend $10 on food.
