The Taco Bell appreciation thread (formerly: Blogs are going away - Get them while they're hot!)
I think beans are more of the stereotype? I'm not really sure actually.it's probably because it is hard hating on a good thing.
Fried chicken is delicious, though.

That's why I never understood the fried chicken thing. Same with watermelon. I love that shit!
it is. i actually love fried chicken. there was a week i would eat fried chicken and pancakes in the middle of the night when i lived in san diego. those were the days.
I could be wrong but I want to say they brought the onion back. And I had the nachos once they are pretty good. Also I'm not a big fan of nacho cheese but Taco Bell nacho cheese is heavenly with pretty much anything you can order at Taco Bell. Well except the cinnamon twists, which are little puffs of cinnamony delight!
The backgrounds in this thread make me happy! n_n I adore nachos, but we don't have Taco Bell, so no clue how their nachos taste.
I love the Nacho Bel Grande. It's been sooo long since I ordered it though. Damn You Kirk! Since this thread I've been eating so much taco bell. We should be making money off of this shit. haha
Talk about free advertising! This thread is great though.
You know you love it.
Does anyone remember the Chocolate Taco? My brother worked there years ago and I'd get him to hook me up with one of those bad boys every now and then.
Weren't those just Choco Tacos? Not an actual Taco Bell creation. Though I agree, the Choco Taco is one of the greatest treats of all time.

Holy. Shit. I need one. Now.
I just got back from a week camping, and all i want right know is some Nachos. But with real cheese, fresh beans, and homemade chips. But I am also in a self loathing mood so i might just hit up Taco Bell for Lunch.

I agree with Noah that I normally prefer "real" nachos. But sometimes, there is nothing like Taco Bell nachos. You can't be in the mood for one and satisfied with the other.
Best surprise ever. I just found a giant burrito in my bag, i must have put it in there last night and forgotten. And even better its not Taco Bell. Yet i still crave the Fire sauce.
As your attorney, my advise to you is to start drinking heavily(er).-Tuffy
absolutely.
it's the corn tortillas (rubbers) they're using.
i had some customers substitute flour tortillas and say they liked them.
also there was some talk of Nachos Bell Grande. not enough people realize that Nachos Supreme = NBG, the only difference being PORTION size. so when you're only a little hungry get NS!
okay, so why the hell did i leave this thread until 45 new posts?
Kirk, you have really out done yourself here.
damn, i really want to try taco bell.
Haha because Taco's below the border are probably a mix of dog and cat meat. Well right on the border anyways.

Update: The New Cantina Taco's are actually pretty damn good. The meat tastes like real meat, chicken is a little dry but at $1.50 each its a good cheap lunch.

For some fucked up reason i decided that i wanted Taco Bell today. I got two chalupas and a crunchy taco. I dont eat meat so i get beans instead. Although im not sure if there meat can actually be considered meat. but still.
The first few bites were not too bad, until my stomach realized what i was doing to it and decided to try to kill itself.

$1.50? a dollar fucking fifty. really?
I am fucking missing out here. I can buy shit for 1.50 here. But i do get free healthcare, so i guess it balances out a bit.

I heard your cost of living was way higher. but then i also hear that you get paid more. 1.50 is cheap for a taco. A pack of smokes is around $5-6

Man if you come down to Austin ever I will show you some good food. This bar I go to has the best burgers and on Wednesdays its buy one get one free, so you get 2 really big tasty burgers for $6.00. More money to buy beer with. Don't even let me talk about the Salt Lick.

yeah, our cost of living is pretty wild. and we might get paid more, to some degree, but we're still slumming it. and because tipping isn't standard here, wait staff and the like get paid more. umm, last time i was a waiter, which was a few years ago now, i was getting paid somewhere between 15-18 and hour, i think. actually, maybe it was less than that.
and, Zach, i'm planning on hitting the states next year. and i will definitely be traveling south.
Me an O'Donnell hittin' up da Hill, catch some Pixburgh soulfood, an'at. Mebbe catch a drive-by.
Tuffy the Dump Truck may rarely increase the risk of a heart attack or stroke. The risk may be greater if you have heart disease or increased risk for heart disease (for example, due to smoking, family history of heart disease, or conditions such as high blood pressure or diabetes), or with longer use. Tuffy should not be taken right before or after heart bypass surgery. Also, Tuffy may infrequently cause serious (rarely fatal) bleeding from the stomach or intestines. This effect can occur without warning symptoms at any time while taking Tuffy. Older adults may be at higher risk for this effect. (See also Precautions and Drug Interactions sections.) Stop taking Tuffy and get medical help right away if you notice any of the following rare but serious side effects: bloody or black/tarry stools, persistent stomach/abdominal pain, vomit that looks like coffee grounds, chest/jaw/left arm pain, shortness of breath, unusual sweating, weakness on one side of the body, sudden vision changes, slurred speech. Ask your doctor if Tuffy is right for you.
why don't we just drink a bucket of absinthe and mushies and trip balls, Tuffy?
The fuck's mushies?
And, as I've said before, absinthe doesn't make you trip balls. That's alcohol poisoning.
But, yeah, we can drink ourselves temporarily blind if you like.

My Taco Bell went belly-up, btw.

Tuff, where you from?
Good lord. I take back what I said about ball tripping. That would probably be most effective.
Take heed! I hail from the land where Lord Pitt built his fortress upon the ruins of his vanquished French enemies' own Duquesne. From where the raging Allegheny joins forces with the tranquil Monongahela to form the muddy Ohio, largest tributary of the mighty Mississippi. Where George Washington took his first command and suffered his first military humiliation. Where Andrew Carnegie built a hundred libraries using the profits earned from steel crafted by men broken by hard beatings from Pinkertons. Where Jonas Salk cured polio. Where Andy Warhol minced his way through his awkward teen years...

Or, you know, Pittsburgh.

I actually ate Taco Bell before I shroomed once. I was plastered that night. I basically drank a pitcher to myself at my friend's show, afterward the band and their friends kept buying me drinks. Good thing I didn't drive that night.

Thanks, Pete!
I have no idea where Pittsburg is, but i could definitely deal with getting temporarily blind with you, Tuffy when i'm on my little American adventure.
so, are you at the Pittsburg in Kansas or the one in California? apparently there's two.
I'm pretty sure there's more than two in the U.S. Matty. I think there's one in Pennsylvania too and according to one of the new guys in Utah as well.

ah, shit. really? why have so many? is it just so Tuffy can confuse us all with his destination? so many questions.

Because we Americans are that creative and have street names that go from A-K and 1-125th and we name our beaches Ocean Beach, Long Beach, or Pacific Beach. Yup, we like naming things that state the obvious but tend to confuse people.
man, oh, man.
this background imagery kills haha and i still prefer the five layer burrito for a buck sixty-nine. i'll be honest, though, and admit that ive not yet tried a nacho-bell-grande and dont aim to. i mean, i like nachos, but absolutely love tacos and burritos. kangaroo meat and all

ah, of course. The missing 'H'. My bad. carry on appreciating criminally cheap mexican food.

I don't care what happens in this thread, but the next page should have the chihuahua as the wallpaper.
Those were the commercials that started it all with the talking animals...now you have the gecko, aflac duck, crazy quizno kitties with mullets...
Yo quiero Taco Bell!
He never talked but you gotta give props to Spuds MacKenzie.
Spuds didn't talk. (PBUH)

Guess where I'm stopping after work?
Oh, Taco Bell, you're a dirty whore, but you know my name...


That's actually a good question. No one has ever used that stereotype with me. If they did, I sure as hell didn't take offense.
Because of this thread I stopped by Taco Bell before work, tonight, and I got a couple fo those carnita tacos... not so bad.
