Taco Bell is the greatest American fast food restaurant in history.

Where else can you take your woman out on a date for $6 between the both of you? 2 5-layer burritos, 2 chicken burritos and 2 three-layer nachos for about $5.49 is insane.

I've heard a lot of strange and deranged things in my life. But I've never come across a notion as bizarre and hard to understand as going to taco bell for a date... 

To be fair, I only do it with my fiancee of 6 years, and we usually get it for a food date (e.g. grabbing taco bell and watching movies).



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

I love Taco Bell.

Too bad its not in my country. Fortunately, I go to US for almost every summer vacation.

And now, a haiku:

My heart yearns for food
Taco Bell brings great delight
It makes me rip ass

Its odd that we've exported so many inferior restaurants than Taco Bell.

Yeah, we don't have Taco bell here in England either... We have *sigh* Subway though. I think Taco bell is a very USA thing, they don't seem to want to expand to foreign markets, I know I've never come accross one in Europe.

Its owned by the same company that has KFC and Pizza Hut and Pepsi. I would think that since other countries have KFC among others, they should get Taco Bell too.

I am sure other countries would enjoy the incredibly cheap sluice beef. I'd assume that given the value of the pound, they could make a nice 0.59 value menu.

KFC is really big in Korea. But that's more because fried chicken is really big in Korea. I swear in a few years it'll be the national food. Fried chicken places are everywhere.

Taco bell would be a much harder to sell because it's kind of hard to peg as an identifiable type of food. It looks like, is marketed as and is sold as Mexican food, but when you go in it's meat paste that shoots out of a gun with no hot peppers and very little mexicanness to it. Instead of catering to existing markets like other fastfood restaurants do, it would have to create an entirely new market.

There is some mexican food here, but that tends to be more of a gourmet burrito type.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.

.........Asians like the fried chickenz?

Why in the world do they like the stuff? Its so difficult to get good Korean food in the states, yet their national trend is fried chicken?

BTW, how is bubble tea in Korea?

I really liked Taco Bell... until I moved to Nevada... here there are actual places with way better food... for barely more.
