    IMO it’s just a meme that got overblown. Obviously there are people who get the shits from eating there, but I don’t think it’s any more significant than other fastfood.

    Also, the current news of this explosive diarrhea outbreak seems to hyperfocus on Taco Bell when the true source is the supplier that also supplies lettuce to a lot of other restaurants.

      Taco Bell blew the whistle on their own supplier (who supplies produce to many other restaurants) and pulled the suspected products from their stores immediately, before the government did anything.

      Good guy Taco Bell, you have never given me diarrhea and they will never make me hate you.

        Yep … even before they identified it they banned a bunch of ingredients on many states stores proactively. Not casting any shade on TB

          I still miss double decker tacos (with the beans, not cheese) and Chilitos (later called chili cheese burritos).

            Chili cheese burritos are the best. Some locations have them, some don’t. Of the two closest locations to me, one has them all the time, one doesn’t. Dunno why. I used to think it was a regional thing but these two are only like five miles apart so who knows.

            I did notice that chili cheese burritos and enchiritos are currently on their new/limited time menu so you may be in luck right now if you’re really jonesing for one.

            As I sit here and think about it now, I kinda wonder if it’s because neither one of them uses lettuce so it was a quick and easy way to get something “new” on the menu that wouldn’t require an apology for missing ingredients.

            DDTs are the best, and it actually makes me angry that they refuse to sell them if they’re not a special menu item. Like dude, I know you have all of the ingredients and I’m willing to pay you for it. Just give me the goddamn double decker tacos

          Just an upvote isn’t enough for me to express how much I agree here. The volcano taco was their best item. If they ever bring it back, try a crunchwrap, but with the nacho cheese subbed out for lava sauce, it’s so fucking good! Idk why they never made a volcano crunchwrap
