I'm not affiliated with Taco Bell at all, I'm just a big Taco Bell stan. Wish there was a Taco Bell instance like on the site we shall not say.

[-] awwwyissss@lemm.ee 8 points 7 months ago

Yeah I see several ads every time I get on now. Was really hoping to leave that garbage behind on Reddit.

I don’t think lemmy is big enough to be getting that

What is that these days, 3 bean burritos and a drink?

[-] Exusia@lemmy.world 33 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Taco bell is easily one of the most affordable fast food chains in my area now

[-] Gork@lemm.ee 16 points 7 months ago

Only if you get the right menu items. As much as I love the chalupas, $4.99 for each one is ridiculous.

The bean burritos do a good job filling you up though and they're about half the price. I miss when they were less than a dollar though.

Surprisingly, you can get some items for cheap like their $5 box in the app.

[-] dingus@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago

I remember I tried to order a $5 box from Taco Bell a few years ago. The employee was confused and said "it's $10 here". Idk how they are able to put ads saying it was $5 when it actually was double that in most areas lol. Are you still getting the original price in the app nowadays or something?

Man I went to the drive through after work one day, got a few things, and holy shit how is it almost $30?!

Unfortunately these days to get the old prices you have to use their app. Fortunately (at least for me) it works pretty well and it might actually be better value than it used to be.

Yeah like holy shit.. Used to be a dollar for their burritos.. Now you're lucky if it is $2, and portions haven't improved to reflect the price.

[-] GreatAlbatross@feddit.uk 5 points 7 months ago

At least it's not UK Taco Bell prices.
I think TB thought they'd be a neat novelty, and have people queuing out the door. So they priced tacos at £5+.
The result was, lots of people went there...once. They parted with £15/head, and got bland tacos.

All major fast food chains are trash now. Same garbage food, 5x the price. I live in an area abundant in taquerias, and I can get way better food for the same price. Taco Bell can fuck right off unless it's 1am and nothing else is open, and I need to eat something to sober up.

[-] runeko@programming.dev 4 points 7 months ago

I'm pretty sure. "It's 1am. Nothing else is open, and you need to sober up." is Taco Bell's default marketing campaign.

Make that a cool $36 bucks and have it delivered for ultimate degeneracy.

[-] Agent641@lemmy.world 10 points 7 months ago

Leave it on the step and walk away, so you dont have to see me creep out of my house in goblin mode and snack up to bag, breathing heavily, tearing at the packaging before ive even made it back inside.

[-] comador@lemmy.world 16 points 7 months ago

The true irony in all this is Taco Bell's headquarters is in Southern California (as is Del Taco) where REAL Mexican food dominates them both.

California Burritos, Baja Tacos and Carne Asada Fries any day, all day.

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 10 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Del Taco has $0.60 snack tacos now and I'm still like "Haha, nice try Del Taco. But the taco truck a block from here has better tacos for only $0.50/2 tacos."

[-] MindSkipperBro12@lemmy.world 9 points 7 months ago

I go to Mexican restaurants for authentic Mexican food.

I go to Taco Bell to get Taco Bell.

Ew, Taco Bell is so gross. There's way better food out there.

Edit: last time I went there it literally made me sick. I'm sticking to the good Mexican/tex-mex places.

Edit 2: hail corporate I guess? I genuinely don't understand why people like Taco Bell. It doesn't taste good. It makes you sick. Why would you want it when there are better places with the same or similar food out there?

[-] MindSkipperBro12@lemmy.world 13 points 7 months ago

If Taco Bell makes you sick then I have some news for you: You are weak, your bloodline is weak, and you will be forgotten in the pages of history.

[-] awwwyissss@lemm.ee 5 points 7 months ago

If Taco Bell doesn't make you sick, I have news for you. You're accustomed to eating garbage. Your arteries are getting clogged, and you'll start losing feeling in your extremities and feel embarrassed about your body a couple years before the garbage you shove into your stomach for a brief hit of dopamine ends your life early, like it does for hundreds of thousands of other people every year.

[-] Stanley_Pain@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 7 months ago

Sometimes you just want Taco Bell mang.

[-] MossyFeathers@pawb.social 7 points 7 months ago

Whyyyyyy? Why would you want food that literally makes you sick? There are way better options that taste better and won't make you sick.

[-] norbert@kbin.social 10 points 7 months ago

You might just have a weak stomach.

It's not gourmet or anything but if it's consistently making you sick I'd get it checked out.

[-] MossyFeathers@pawb.social 4 points 7 months ago

Nah, I've never had a problem with food giving me the shits or making me sick, even stuff like curry I'm fine with. Literally only when I go to Taco Bell.

No, it makes you sick. The steak quesadillas are still delicious

[-] awwwyissss@lemm.ee 7 points 7 months ago

You're getting downvotes because this is an advertisement and you're messing up their ad for shit food that gives people health problems.

[-] MossyFeathers@pawb.social 4 points 7 months ago

*sigh* It was gonna happen eventually but it sucks that even Lemmy is getting astroturfed.

Just because it makes you sick doesn't mean it makes everyone sick and we're all just "blind to it" or something

Most people don't eat Taco Bell for Mexican or TexMex food, we eat Taco Bell for Taco Bell food

Just because people have a preference for a bog Fast food chain doesn't automatically make it "Hail Corporate" either

I feel very seen right now ngl.

[-] DharmaCurious@startrek.website 12 points 7 months ago

I've had a stressful couple of weeks, and got a B on a paper.

I drove 1.5 hours away today to go to a local fastfood chain to get my favorite burger today. Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.

[-] NegativeLookBehind@kbin.social 10 points 7 months ago

A B is really good, don’t beat yourself up too much.

[-] HerbalGamer@sh.itjust.works 4 points 7 months ago

Look at this dude, bragging with a B.

Meanwhile you can go to the grocery store and pay ~30$ for 3lb beef, 20shells, 3 heads romane lettuce, 1lb Mexican cheese, and taco sauce. And have a single person's meals for the next 5-6 days. I know because it's been part of my meal prep for a while.

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

30$ for 3lb beef

Why are you paying $10 per pound for ground beef? You can get 97% lean ground beef at Costco, or WinCo for about $6 per pound.

[-] ma11en@lemmy.world 11 points 7 months ago

There's a list of items after the meat included in the $30.

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

Oh, right. Thanks.

[-] RubberElectrons@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

Textured veggie protein is even cheaper and is dehydrated if you want a veggie option. It's great to camp with since it needs no refrigeration, and you can add it to beef dishes if you need to stretch your dollar but still want real beef.

Pushed to work a job you don't enjoy. It gives you money, and emptiness. You fill the emptiness with the money. Now you need money, and are still empty.
