23. I love Taco Bell

Oct 2022

I don't consider it Mexican. When I want Mexican, I have two really good taquerias I go to. But Taco Bell is amazing in the same way White Castle is amazing. When you want it, you want it.

That said, I only go once every two months or so. While you can build up an expensive order if you really work for it, I can't imagine where $28 is going. The combos run about $8-$12. I prefer the Cravings menu. Get like two of the beefy melt burritos for $2.49 each and you're set. (And if people want to know about inflation, these were like $1.29 less than a year ago)

I never understand the poop jokes about it, though. Y'all need Fiber Jesus in your lives.
