    Taco Bell isn’t terrible but yeah most of them can get fucked. Local fast casual is faster, better, and cheaper. Fast food literally has no value prop left.

    Mc Donald’s… 5 years since I’ve spent any money there. Burger King one year. I still once in a blue moon go to Arby’s (which I think is the last one still making good food) and even rarer I will visit Taco bell ( can’t get the wife and I food there for less than 25) or Hardee’s. The days of fast food are over.

    Imagine getting people to eat (slightly, if anything) healthier because you are now more expensive than the actual freshly cooked food around your location.

    As always, corpos have the biggest of brains.

    Fast food used to be cheap AND convenient. Now it’s just convenient. The fact that I can get a McDonalds meal from the drive thru for the same price as getting a pizza delivered… why would I leave my house

      They aren’t that convenient anymore, at least here. Drive thrus and counter service are glacial in most fast food places. Legit Mexican restaurants cost less than taco bell and are generally faster, just for one example.

    I used to get breakfast at McDonald’s every day before work. I’d roll up, place my order, hand them a $5 bill, and get change back. And I had a filling breakfast after it all.

    Now they want you to finance a hash brown.

    I bought a filet o fish recently after many years and the thing fit within the palm of my hand. It had exactly one half of a cheese slice since that was enough to cover the entire fish patty.

        The simple fact that we’ve accepted their engineered insinuation of “food” is why it’s still an industry — dying as it may be, lately. The entire species’d be better off if global gen pop wasn’t such a fuckin’ crab bucket of slack-jawed idiocy. gestures at certain others here 🤷🏽‍♂️

        “Gatekeeping” is the best you can come up with? FFS. You deserve to eat the trash they tell you is “food”. Jog on, son. 🤌🏼

      Always boggles my mind how much people will defend fast food. Say something bad about taco bell and people will have your head on a stick, even though it’s so gross.

        Yes, I too am confused when people like different flavors than I do. How can they not be me? I’m me, they should be me, too.

          Yeah, it’s a “flavor” thing.

          FYI: The “false equivalency” fallacy is the laziest of them all. Maybe you’d do better not eating shit. 🥲

    Youre just picking a target that has a higher public opinion. TB for those that eat there, consider it to be a better tasting food experience which has actually gotten better over the years. Demo man might turn out to be right…
