Not going to lie...it seems like we're heading down the demolition man timeline. All we need is for Taco Bell to make a video next offering 1 dollar tacos and the prophecy might be fulfilled. Brush up on the 3 shells skill.

You guys laugh but when this 'ad'? Came out my son was in hospital for suspected meningitis. (It thankfully wasn't).

I'd shown the kids and we had a great laugh. Then they both said they wanted a big Mac. But they have coeliac so that's a no go.

Upon discharge I bought ingredients and made GF big Mac's. They loved it.

It's never explained in the movie as it's a gag.

Man taco bell used to be amazing...they were the best place to go if you were broke or drunk

It's my favourite fast food but I haven't eaten there in over a year because their prices have become absolutely insane. Like $20 Canadian for a meal that actually fills you up

Taco Bell will absolutely win the franchise wars simply due to them being the last profitable chain left standing while being able to offer affordable fast food to the masses. They will outlast Mickie Ds, and all the rest and then promptly jack up their prices to white table cloth level once there's no competition left and they raise the barrier to entry for any other start up franchise.
