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.
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.
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 $36 bucks and have it delivered for ultimate degeneracy.
Meanwhile you can go to the grocery store and pay ~30$ 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.
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.
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.
Tvp is great. Spice it right and u can fool the shit out of your carnivore uncle if it’s in hamburger helper style meals
Lmao sounds like personal experience. I like being upfront with people, but otoh if you’re broke, guests can’t be choosy. Was it actually hamberder helper or what, how’d it turn out?
E: I’m leaving it, no edits.
We had it back when I was at camp cuz it packed out on the trail well. Mouth wise it’s basically funny tasting “ground beef” which is why u spice it like hell cuz it’s bland.
I’m just saying if u cook it right u can fool pretty much anyone.
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?
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
Sometimes you just want Taco Bell mang.
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.
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.
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.
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.
You’re getting downvotes because this is an advertisement and you’re messing up their ad for shit food that gives people health problems.
Nice ad placement Lemmy!
I see this as an anti-ad. By that, I mean that it takes almost $30 to satisfy a deprived appetite at the chain these days.
Furthermore, Taco Bell has not only increased prices since 2020, but has reduced portion sizes and cut back on staffing.
I stopped going there even though I prefer their flavors. Now, Del Taco is the better bang-for-buck Mexican fast food option in this dystopian capitalist hellscape.
Shit, even the local taco trucks/pop-up stands/street vendors of any quality charge out the ass now around where I live. 🤷♂️
I know right? Taco Bell has always been cheap garbage to shove in your face when you’re having a depression day.
Now it’s just garbage.
I don’t think lemmy is big enough to be getting that
