"The only reason we add paint thinner and Windex to our ground beef is to make it more exciting"

88% beef sounds reasonable to me, my older brother always told me it was alpo when i was growing up (and that the cheese was actually edible plastic)

i dined at the 'Bell the other day, i miss their old logo

if they told me the beef was made of african babies I'd still eat it

used to eat a lot of taco bell in college. u can get lotsa food for little $$$

"food"

paint thinner and windex are my filet mignon and lobster, sry im not a gourmand like u

I eat there at least once a week, and sometimes more. Tend to order more bean-based menu items than beef ones, though. I fear the day they get sued over their refried beans!

Taco Bell makes me crap my pants.

i fux with the grilled stuft burrito

wow, what pieces of s. what a professional tone their pr ppl encouraged them to take. edgy, man, totally in keeping with their brand. they should have had the letter coming out of a thought bubble from poochie.

you know that neil hamburger joke about how kfc comes in a bucket so that you have something to throw up in after you're done eating it? taco bell sort of skips a step-- most of the items on their menu already look like vomit. what is a mexican pizza from there other than a tortilla topped with what you almost stepped in next to the tilt-a-whirl at the county fair? plus they sell something called "bacon cheddar gordita crunch". yark. why do they even bother pretending that their food is something other than...garbage? remember when they had those advertising campaigns specifically targeted at ppl w/late night munchies? what a bizarre campaign. i mean, stoned/drunk young ppl will basically eat anything, the more disgusting the better. they should just go full-on, like that toilet-themed restaurant in taiwan

that being said, i have eaten at taco bell many times and enjoyed its strangely alluring disgustingness. sometimes that bizarre craving comes up. my main beef (pun not intended) with them is how expensive it has become to eat there. oh, also their selling dead tortured animals... ok, they are pretty much indefensible. pasolini was right.

i will riot if the Bell switches to real beef. never change

yark.

I salute T. Bell for pressure-washing all the face-meat off the steer's skull. Waste not want not, rite.

look who's too fancy for skullmeat

i dont eat at taco bell but theyre not that bad ffs

how expensive it has become to eat there

Still, even with higher prices than before, it's the cheapest of the ubiquitous fast food franchises. I can still make myself full (including soda) for under $5.

oh, also their selling dead tortured animals...

lol

people who hate taco bell are racist

faint praise but taco bell is tastier and probably cheaper than US public school cafeteria food, and maybe even healthier?

but c'mon you can get an actual taco for like 25cents more than a taco bell taco. it's a quarter! just one less game of galaxian.

I can still make myself full (including soda) for under $5.

maybe somehow their veg items are more expensive.

I craved hard shell tacos the other day and got a few from the Bell. They were kinda yark tbh

the real scandal for me is that according to their own allergen alert page, their fruit slushies are prepared on the same equipment that processes fish, shellfish, tree nuts, eggs, milk, wheat, and soybeans. are Taco bell employees making themselves crab and hazelnut milkshakes on their downtime & not sharing them with the public!?

their taco pizzas are my jam, but I'm not about to complain because they aren't topped with tomato sauce and pepperoni.

it's on the secret menu xp

but theyre not that bad ffs

not if you have low enough standards

are Taco bell employees making themselves crab and hazelnut milkshakes on their downtime & not sharing them with the public!?

they're called SMOOTHIES, not m-shakes. show some respect

fish, shellfish

The one closest to my house is combination Long John Silvers/Taco Bell. Das Racist needs to write a follow-up single.

If Yum! Brands changed its name to Yark! Brands I promise I would buy $1000 in stock.

their taco pizzas are my jam, but I'm not about to complain because they aren't topped with tomato sauce and pepperoni.

it's not that. to me it's more like, ok, you walk into a taco bell not expecting anything like you'd get from a real taqueria. that's fine... but, it's not, even like, one step below that, or two steps removed, it's just its own weird entity, like if you were to go to djibouti and try to order pierogies-- you'd get like, mashed bananas in a teff rollup or something. which is fine, and would probably be really good. but taco bell was born in america, home of tex-mex, etc. there's no excuse! you can make crushingly good burritos, tacos, etc., for super-cheap that wouldn't be the weird sludgy messes that are taco bell's calling card

dying here

don't listen to del, heir to the del taco empire, he's just badmouthing his main competitor

Your first mistake is confusing Taco Bell with tex-mex or any Mexican food dishes in general. There was a time long long ago when they resembled such an establishment, but they don't even claim it's a run for the border anymore.

will anyone here rep for jack in the box tacos?

I haven't had them in a long time, but I remember them being delicious at 3am.

it's a run for the bidet

The ads risk putting renewed attention on the concerns about the filling, Marconi said.

Taco Bell should taking a more grass-roots approach, said Laura Ries, president of Ries & Ries, a marketing strategy firm based in Atlanta. She also suggested a video showing how the meat is made.

"This is a problem that is very difficult to solve with words alone," she said. "It needs pictures."

yeah that might not be the best approach in this case

I like those jack in the box tacos, whatever they are

The crunchy potato tacos are pretty damn good. And cheaper than the regular ones, atm!

Just saw this btw

PIG OUT

Jesus food is cheap in the US. I guess that comes with the territory of the ppl selling it making $2.50 an hour.

The Crunchwrap is usually $2.79...this is a promo/sale.

Still don't understand how the server wage remains legal, btw, but that wouldn't apply to anyone at Taco Bell (or any other fast food place). That's just for sit-down full service restaurants.

one of the saddest fast food restaurants near my home in the US is a combo taco bell/long john silver's

no way jam some hush puppies into that gordita crunch and u r eating like a ~king~

there's so much better cheap fast food i.e. wendy's -- have some self-respect imo

tbh I really do wish I had a Chipotle nearby, but I happily chow on Taco Bell at least twice a week.

or better yet buy yourself some meat & lettuce & cheese & tortillas and make your own tacos

I feel like taco bell and chipotle are basically entirely different food groups, a taco bell burrito means something entirely different than a chipotle burrito

My local Wendy's is gross...maybe the worst one I've ever been acquainted with.

I like Qdoba too

I have not had taco bell for years now though I still have a weird fondness for the idea of taco bell

Oh yeah, Chipotle much more closely resembles Mexican/TexMex food. Taco Bell is Taco Bell.

I had Fresco tacos a few days ago. weren't bad

yeah exactly

or better yet buy yourself some meat & lettuce & cheese & tortillas and make your own tacos

LOVE LOVE LOVE taco nights with friends. Unfortunately making a taco in your car is not an easy thing to do.

you're just out of practice

i've never been a touring musician so i'll allow adam bruneau's argument

ey i'm pretty sure big boi rolls burritos while he rolls

this is by far the worst news of 2020

taco bell getting rid of potatoes in august so therefore i will be passing away in august

— tori (@seitanwhore) July 14, 2020

wow wtf

first climate change, then Trump, then Covid-19, all accompanied by the continuing drum beat of the police murdering unarmed Black men, and now... changes to the basic Taco Bell menu. where will it all end?

Can’t tell if y’all joking about an insignificant loss or an actual loss. TB had potatoes?

yeah they did. I didn't know anybody ever ordered them

Fries? At the bell?

They're doing away with the 7 Layer Burrito? Get fucked!

rip cheesy fiesta potatoes you were the best cheesy fiesta potatoes a dollar could buy

can't believe there are many places in the US that don't have better options than taco bell

lol if that's why you think people eat at Taco Bell, perhaps you misunderstand the allure of Taco Bell

"if only I had a world class taqueria nearby, guess I'll settle for Yum brands"

this is so fucked, they already axed like half the menu inc. the double decker taco last year

One of my fave quick bites is a couple of the fresco steak soft tacos and a happy hour discounted drink.

didn't grow up with taco bell so don't understand its appeal, but patronizing your local mom and pop taqueria has got to be a better option?

the appeal is getting lots of crappy food for a little amount of money at 3 am when you're drunk, high, covered in vomit, or getting off of a late shift.

lol ok

taco bell is the only fast food that I really like. sadface about the 7 layer.

i bought a lot of 7 layer in the last 2 years. this is kinda like a 45 year old relief pitcher finally hanging it up before he gets nominated for the Hall of Fame 5 years later

don't know what '7 layer' refers to but I can't imagine 7 layers of anything making for a coherent dish

thanks, Paul Hollywood

You’ve never had 7 Layer Bean Dip?

or lasagna

ime there are always 5 or 6 nearby taco bells, and only one is actually good

it is the one closest to the rich people, and it's worth the drive. private taco bells. public schools. they get the best of both sectors.

All fast food is shit but people like it,dont get the bemusement that people fuck with taco bell. I've never eaten there,the closest one here is in the burns and I'm pescatarian so probably not the place for me anyway. Fast food menus should generally be limited tho imo

The seven layer was popular with vegetarians. I tried a taco bell in chile. Broke my heart it was so bad.

What’s for breakfast

During road trips, I will usually search for the taco bell with the best online reviews.

During road trips, I will usually only search for top notch, local taquerias

This is like nyc pizza and suburban stuff like costco/dominos. Yes, it is understood one is vastly better but sometimes you crave the niche of the other.

the mexican pizza is leaving us in november

this kinda hurts, this was a childhood favorite and i basically order one every time i go to taco bell -- otoh i suppose this will probably discourage me from going to taco bell, which is probably a good thing

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Last night I was drunk af and had four taco supremes at the local ‘bell

I went to Taco Bell near my job the other day cuz I needed something cheap and quick and honestly it was fine.
