Wish they still made things the 70's way, it had to be way better.

They also used to put more than a single tablespoon of beef in a taco. I stopped going because of the shitty effort in the food usually. I think they are family owned places trying to be cheap asf.

When I was a 1970's kid, I really liked the Enchirito. That was back when they were served in a foil tray. Taco Bell even put sliced olives along the top of the Enchirito.

@@chairman-jenkem-yogurt Yes, those were the best!

When I worked at Taco Bell in the 90s, the beef was in the bags like in this video, and frozen. You had to plop them in big pots of hot water to "reanimate" them. Beans were dried flakes you added hot water to. Only the vegetables were fresh.

it was really good . they peaked out in the eally 80s when they served the taco light . that thing was so GD GOOD !! remember the bell beefer ? lol what a mistake . it was the meat on a bun . i remember pintos and cheese , oh man that was so good . i was a bean burrito guy . till they ruined that in 1995 . they were 59 cents tho , and man where they heavan . i used to eat there a lot . it was the best . i am unable to go since the laST TIME WE WENT A MANAGER CAME RUNNING OUT TO OUR CAR CURSING AND SCREAMING AT US . for real , she cursed us out , every which was since sunday , kicked us out of the parking lot . we had just pulled in . i will never go again , after that . i dont feel safe .

Good point

True.

That rapidly became my problem eating at taco bell for months. Eventually I got sick of meat bean slop. I love it don't get me wrong but like, if I want just taco bell meat on a Doritos locos taco those things are crazy expensive.

And whether it tastes like the greatest thing in the world or it tastes like mud depends on one thing: How hungry are you?

Kinda but nothing comes close to a chalupa in my book….

Yeap, same here. Worked there in high school. All the meats would go in the big water bath appliance for like 40 minutes i believe. The steak and chicken were like 15 or 20 i think.

I was about to say the same thing 😂

Did you re hydrate it in the package?

@@ipissed no, it was fully contained in its own thermal bag and goes in a hot water bath

I ate there one time. I bit into taco. I did sadly swallow!!! Ugg. I didn't want to be impolite by spitting it out. The filling seems like some sort of grossly processed meat fibers. Jamais!

Then please don't watch any videos showing people jumping off bridges.

Simple. Put ground beef in a pan. Start cooking it. Add seasoning mix and stir until its cooked. Drain off the liquid.

Eyeball is still considered 100% meat. In fact a cow is 100% beef from snout to butthole so... 😂

Damn it... seriously didn't need to KNOW that as I think you just got me to SWEAR IT OFF NOW... Least there wasn't ANY grey matter though... seriously would of lost it on that note. PLEASE DON'T TELL ME THERE IS COW BRAINS IN IT TOO! Even IF there is...🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

@@jamesloll4601 brains are used a lot and lungs for sausages. source: my dad who had to inspect those places.

@@JenCruz. I asked you PLEASE DON'T TELL me that and meant it... WHY?!? Did you have to share that with me? Lungs don't throw me off nearly as much but? You know it and are OK with it? But I suspect it and DON'T WANT TO KNOW because I'm NOT OK with it. Sometimes some of the secrets of life? NEED to STAY JUST THAT. There's a lot of UGLY secrets in life but because they are there and I suspect it? Doesn't mean I WANT TO KNOW. A lot of people are turned off by BLOOD SOAP, not me, I actually look at it as one of the healthiest things you could eat. But do you think someone would like it if I told them it's in their Snickers bar (LOL of course it's NOT!) ? But do you get the point I'm making? There are SOME things we DON'T want to know and as long as not knowing it isn't hurting us? Why NOT leave it there? Next time mad-cow disease comes around? Definitely WON'T be eating beef hotdogs. Heck, you pretty much swore me off ALL hotdogs. (and we all pretty much KNEW they are made with scraps, why ELSE are they so CHEAP)?

@@jamesloll4601 my dad still purchased hot dogs after telling us that lol but now he only gets actual pork or beef grade a

Where do you get one of those?

Yes dehydrated beans mixed with hot water stirred then ready to use within an hour

Beans you can dehydrate then just add water.

Yep.

A canoe paddle....... ......... ... ...

The more you love yourself, you won’t let these brands inside your stomach.

Taco Bell be price gouging now. $5 for a Mexican pizza?

@@MaddoggMikeTV $35 for the 12 pack of Supreme soft tacos .....2 Mexican pizzas Supreme $15 Your exactly right.......way too expensive these days

Cheesy bean and rice burrito is delicious

“Decent prices” LoL

Very sanitary!

At my store we don’t use c/o till 10 or 11am like middle of a rush and we mix it with the fresh shit it’s like 3rd of fresh and rest c/o

Same as many chain restaurants. At a dickys bbq I saw them bringing out big premade frozen bags of things like macaroni & cheese and dropping them in the hot water boilers. 20 minutes later it's ready to serve. Probably same at Applebee's or Olive Garden as well.

I love Ortega!!!

Its not a bad taste but its definitely not Taco Bell.

They all have cumin

I’m sorry wtf, 5+ year old meat..ish diarrhea? And people eat that? this world is crazy

You do know anything frozen basically lasts forever, right? Smh

@mattrobichaud6760 um sir once you take it out it doesn't last you have a certain window to eat it

How does being assistant manager at Taco Bell give you the knowledge of the nutritional requirements of a five year old?

@@MichaelWilliams85 It was labeled on the box.

I got food poisoning from an old chalupa fried bread. It was miserable and I had to go to the dr to cure the illness from the terrible illness.

Last time I had it I was wrecked for 2 weeks. No lie. No more for me

TMI yall. Hope you all are better.

Stop it with the tired bowel stuff no one asked for. If Taco Bell upsets your stomach it's because you're a wuss. Grow a pair for once.

Some of us unfortunately don’t have the time to cook and fast food is the most logical solution for us. Well, I at least try to get the healthier items in fast foods like salads and grilled chicken meals.

Yeah, I'm not cooking. Cooking is for those who have a stay at home lover, I work 8+ hours with an hour trip there and an hour trip back home and I just don't have the energy to cook. So fast food and packaged foods work best for me. Only time I cook is on my days off.

More people need to learn to cook, for sure. But our health (long-term) is the trade off for most of what we can eat conveniently. Companies are allowed to poison us, just as long as they use amounts that are less than %1 (which they can count as zero), and if the company is big enough (like Coca-cola) they can pay for studies that say sugar isn’t bad as fat. We now know it’s worse.

And you know you washed your hands before touching your food, and if you don't at least you are doing it to yourself.

Food poisoning is all restaurant, taco trucks , hotdog venders etc just stupid people like to say it

Processed food ...? Definition ? Well , your body processes food and you know what comes out ! 🚽

@Barbermeister I know. I miss stated what I meant. I always saw it was a sombrero and there is a serape...some very traditional stereotype icons of Mexican culture.....but what the hell is it on? A bell? Why? Makes no sense. It goes with the name. But what is a taco bell? lol. completely bizarre made up stuff from traditional gringos. It's worse than the Chebacca defense. It makes not sense, therefore, you have to reject it. lol. I'm Chicano myself and grew up in L.A. County and we ate rice and beans almost every day but we all still liked their tacos. Even though it's not really Mexican food, it's "Mexican inspired" and was super cheap and tasty enough. Goofy name. Goofy image. But at one point was good enough to stop by and pick up half a dozen "tacos".

My friend worked there and told me the same. It was grade d beef. Never ate there again after that.

Me either…. I get tired of criticizing of TacoBell….I love it!!I could eat some right now!!

I work there and practically lived off the food for weeks when I was broke and never had an issue other then the fact it’s addictive and you got to be careful like swear it was hard to go back to normal and seen several people get big quick from it because they can’t stop eating it day after day

I have a burrito

Smart. I got food poisoning from that disgusting place 15 years ago. People don't realize the poison they eat that these fast food place use. Some ingredients aren't even fit for human consumption.

Says someone replied but there's no comment. What did it say? Must've been filtered out or deleted.

yes they wants us dumb and fat the people that own these low quality fast food chains don't even eat it because it's below food grade

*kind of party where I want to be.

*kind of party I want to be at.

@@vicdog4440 Fine. I prefer to party with more civilized people who can speak English correctly.

Same

Yeah, immature people always make an excuse, instead of their alcohol over-binging for their sickness the next day. One co-worker who was sloshed at an offsite three-day training event called in sickthe next morning and said that he ate some bad sushi.

@@riproar11 yes the dogfood quality processed meat is heated enough to kill all pathogens. it was prob the alcohol or an employees fecal-contaminated hands!

Also my family has been eating tacos for two weeks now and we still haven't gotten tired of them. I've burnt a lot of shells...

blending the beef makes it easier to digest as well.

I have discovered that if you chuck your own cooked ground beef into one of those "bullet" blenders and put it on whip until it's just shy of puree, add some seasoning, voila! Taco Bell meat. Ironically, though, they've come out with a "veggie burrito supreme" which substitutes black beans for the meat, and I like it better than the meat burrito supreme!

@@Empresslockness Robocop loves it.

That asada steak was bangin'

@@looneybinjim Yeah, they had a 2001 version and also a 2003 revamp.

I’m just having a hard time following the logic of “The derivative used in food production is a synthetic that’s extracted in in a lab, from corn starch mostly.” So if it’s extracted from corn starch, how is it not an extract? Synthetic anything is man made to replicate an original matter. How is a synthetic compound extracted from a natural ingredient?

@@lanceurbi3687 Sorry. Just poor sentence structure. From what I understand, both are true and both are used. Some is extracted from natural sources and some is lab produced with synthetic 'help', so to speak, using synthons and their analogues to produce a semi-synthetic conjugate. I'm, by far, not an organic chemist, so best to read up on it for yourself for a better understanding. Search 'mono and dialdehyde of trehalose'.

they serve putrefied lab meat bro. seen the samples. haven't eaten taco bell since

That was a gay joke on himself right?
