We’ve gentrified cheap Mexican food and food trucks in general now.
It wasn’t even 10 years ago that you could get a pretty hearty meal at a taco stand for like 8 bucks. Now it’s at least double that and around me. It’s oftentimes triple. There’s no case to be made that the inputs for a taco have risen that dramatically in price. Businesses are doing what businesses do so I’ve moved on to Vietnamese food which is still pretty cheap around me.
that’s what I gave up on trying to explain to r/hailcorporate: you don’t have to get paid to be an advertiser. these empty souls will do it for free, because they’ve already fused their identity with their fav corporations
and calling the shit out and reposting it is just another layer of advertising, too, so r/HC got the unsub too
of course it is, it’s right on front of you. it’s just a question of where are they getting it from. In this case, it’s likely from the users themselves, happy to freely shill their favorite corporation
I’m in a HCOL area, and all the TBs near me have them for 1.79. Although they were a dollar a month or two ago. They’re sizable, and 3 will absolutely fill me up, 2 is usually plenty.
TB usually has a pretty good combo box for less than $10, sometimes closer to $5/6. If you’re real picky and want certain things, then sure, get ready to pay $15+. But I personally find that I can’t spend more than $8 to get stuffed.
Nice ad placement Lemmy!

all press is good press
Yeah I see several ads every time I get on now. Was really hoping to leave that garbage behind on Reddit.

I’m not affiliated with Taco Bell at all, I’m just a big Taco Bell stan. Wish there was a Taco Bell instance like on the site we shall not say.
I don’t think lemmy is big enough to be getting that

Lol, maybe if only $28 worth of taco bell was worth my time. It takes damn near $5o for 2-3 people worth of trash food.
$28 is a fucking joke, when you’re hungry enough to even consider ordering it
That’s why you order 3 rice and bean burritos. It comes out to like $3.24.
They’re not that great but enough fire sauce fixes anything
Do you have a time machine? They are $2.49 each now, or $1.89 if you’re lucky. And smaller than before so you need two of them to equal an old one.
