Ben Davis also does this. But he only gives out the expired ones. Then he yells at the poor souls, and threatens to shoot 'em!
I consider myself to have a cast iron gullet. Nothing, I mean nothing, ever comes back once it's down my hatch. But the last three times I ate at Taco Bell I literally threw up afterward. Each time was after some serious drinking, and they were spaced a good 5 months apart. I drive by the sign now and I get nauseous.
4th meal is just a way of selling more tacos to drunk idiots. But you're right ABM, it does point to an eating disorder, not one of overeating (although that exists) but one of undervaluing food. We now have an additional meal that we won't remember made of substances we won't eat until they are mechanically congealed into a taco or a burrito and then sprinkled with chemical flavoring. A single "fourth" meal is approximately as many calories as the majority of people on the planet earth today consume in a single day (but fuck those people for not being born in America.) And it costs less than the sum of its parts due to massive farm subsidies for our broke-ass food system. We are literally given government assistance to eat an additional meal of inedible (but delicious) bullshit while billions of people cannot afford to feed themselves for an entire day. But you know, freedom. /academic wankery
YES. BECAUSE NO OTHER CULTURE EATS FOOD LATE AT NIGHT AFTER DRINKING. ITS UNIQUELY AMERICAN, FUNDED BY BAIN CAPITAL AND MONSANTO.
Lame. It's not about eating after drinking late at night. It's about Taco Bell's commercial and the message it sends. Like it or not, there are implications. Just keep ignoring them.
What are the implications? That drunk people at 2am like greasy crap? Game changer! {Poasted via palm pilot}
Taco Bell? I thought this was what ABM was griping about: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=4th meal
you mean the lack of organically grown free range farm fresh vegan sustainable food options at 3am? {Poasted via palm pilot}
Well you've got all the buzz words down. Too bad that's not what I was saying. But like I said, you don't care. So why argue it?
I don't care if it's dog food quality and will cut years off my life, I agree with EL PRESIDENTE, Taco Bell is the shit, especially late night Taco Bell. I'm in great shape, but every now and then, Taco Bell is what's good. "4th Meal" is the only time I'd really eat it, tbh, so their marketing campaign is relevant to me. It's not a marketing campaign advocating four meals a day; it's a marketing campaign that advocates drunken/high/munchied desires for quick, late night food. If the great tasting, healthy options were available at 3 AM like Taco Bell is, and if they were as cheap as well, I'd obviously choose them. We're talking about 2-3 AM though, and at that time, Taco Bell tastes like a four star restaurant. The only thing that I disagree with EL PRESIDENTE about is their nachos. Really?! Nachos?! It's all about the Grilled Stuffed Burrito man! Best hangover cure is a fatass Grilled Stuffed Burrito, and maybe a Chulupa or two as well, if you've got them hardcore munchies. Honestly, outside of Chic-Fil-A and Whataburger, Taco Bell is my favorite fast food joint. That doesn't mean that I eat at any of those consistently, but I'm not going to act like fast food isn't great for what it is. Still, I've been all over the country, but I haven't had In-And-Out. I feel like at this point, it's probably been built up too much for me over the years from my west-coast friends, that it'll probably fail to meet the expectations though. Still looking forward to trying it, just as I'd look forward to a meal at a nice restaurant.
Well, it's now very apparent to me that 4th meal is a post-drunkfest food orgie. I guess, then, it's not so much a statement on America's eating habits in general, as opposed to a staple to our entertainment culture. I agree with hoojacks, though, in that...regardless of how good it might seem to taste....what they put in some of that crap is flat-out disgusting. Oh, and you KNOW that the TB nachos are simply a low-end dregs, petroleum-based product somehow disguised as cheese.
Believe me, I know how addicting and delicious fast food can be. There's a reason why most people only eat it while drunk.
yeah but just like white castle sometimes you crave that shitty combo of fake mexican food. Like I said, I usually DON'T hit up Taco Bell but growing up in the Portland suburbs, it was either Taco Bell or Sharis.
