Nice ad placement Lemmy!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

of course it is, it's right on front of you. it's just a question of where are they getting it from. In this case, it's likely from the users themselves, happy to freely shill their favorite corporation

[–] return2ozma 7 points 5 months ago

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.

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

[–] Exusia 31 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 16 points 5 months ago (2 children)

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 6 points 5 months ago (1 children)

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?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

It's like the $5 foot long, which was neither $5 or a foot long

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 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 10 points 5 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.

I feel very seen right now ngl.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 5 months ago (4 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 5 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

Look at this dude, bragging with a B.

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.

[–] Telodzrum 13 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Oh man, all those people going to Taco Bell and thinking they're in for a real authentic Sonoran experience are really missing out, I guess.

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 9 points 5 months ago

I go to Mexican restaurants for authentic Mexican food.

I go to Taco Bell to get Taco Bell.

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.

So long as toilets are free I suppose... :-)

[–] mwproductions 5 points 5 months ago

I want this framed and hanging on my wall.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago (2 children)

You deserve it.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 months ago (1 children)

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.
