I tried Taco Bell once in college because I had a coupon. It was gross. Haven't eaten there since. We lovingly call it Taco Smell.
It is an interesting story... from rags to riches... only in America.

My dad is the only person I know that has never had Taco Bell. Ever.

^^ Have you explained to him what he has been missing?

It's hard to describe good things about Taco Bell to him as he doesn't often find himself drunk at 2 am looking for munchies.

I need a beer.
I got to thinking about it the other day and I've probably been to Taco Bell about 5 times since I graduated college. I think you just nailed the reason why.

Yeah, it has limited application, but it is the freakin' nectar of the gods at 2 am when you are drunk.

I have. I like sliders.
I like the idea of Taco Bell, but I'm disappointed every time I eat there sober. The food is just so underwhelming.

Anyone tried their "Drive thru Diet" tacos yet? I was curious to try them but I am wondering if they are like mini tacos and that's why they have less fat and calories.

I typically enjoy it when I eat there since it's only about once a year, but the weird thing to me is that everything tastes the same. I don't think I can even tell the difference between their chicken and their beef.

The "meat" is just a spice delivery device.

For some reason, I get the screaming ***** every time I eat there sober. When I'm drunk as a skunk, no problem. Maybe the alcohol in my stomach kills all the parasitic organisms that are living on the chicken/beef.

I used to not be able to leave the restaurant without shitting. But I have stabilized recently.

I have. They are pretty good. It is basically a regular taco where they replace the cheese with a onion/tomato/parsley mix seasoned with a little vinegar. Better than the regular taco at the same price.
They used to be called fresco tacos before they went with the diet angle.

As a former employee I can tell you this: the menu explicitly states the items as "beef" taco or "beef" burrito. However the stuff comes in very large bags labeled simply as "meat". Beef comes from cows, but meat can come from any animal. Also the beans look like corn flakes before hot water is added.
Even with uppity chains like Qdoba and Chipotle, I still love Taco Bell- mystery meat and all. After recently having had Chipotle, South Park seem accurate.
