nah. Someone in NYC took it. So I guess that makes it kinda unfair to generalize all taco bells as being gross, because (parts of) NYC are gross…

Taco Bell and KFC are fucking gross. Ill attempt to find the page that documents the chickens used by KFC. They are beyond disgusting.

I have a personal problem with Taco Bell. I saw someone there drop the ladel used to dispense meat into the tacos on the floor, then pick it up and use it again. I personally find that inexcusable…

The rat picture can happen anywhere. I just think its funny that it happened at a place known for being unsanitary, youd think they would be more vigilant about it given their rusty track record.

And FYI, the rat fell out of the ceiling, onto someones table, and ran away. That’ll ruin your day…

you mean cause of the green onions (AKA scallions) they use in their products, which would be more of the fault of the onion distributer than taco bell.

Also taco bell did take immediate action and did not use green onions until they knew they were 100% safe… which i don’t know if they are using the onions now still.

Yep taco bell fails again

What? We can buy Taco Bell and those guys can’t? Isn’t that a little bit discrimination towards our little fuzzy friends? 🙂
