water has minerals in it. Water without minerals has a different name to distinguish it from regular water, because having minerals in it is the default state of water.

Taco Bell tacos are the sides

Chipotle is better than taco bell in every way except for the fact that it doesn't have a drivethru. And chipotle isn't even that good. Taco bella is just poo poo. Like I've turned down a taco bell run while super drunk where I'd be totally down for basically any greasy hot food, but with taco bell it's just like "ehh...".

That's like saying McDonald's and Five Guys are the same though, there's just a fundamental break. Fast Food vs. Quick Service Restaurant.

agreed about Moe's

also does anyone actually like random employees shouting when they enter/leave? My loving bank does this. Walk in, random banker shouts "Hello!", greet your teller, leave, thanks, have a good day, blah blah then as you leave another random banker shouts "HAVE A GOOD DAY!" It just feels awkward. I don't want to ignore them but also don't want to turn around and mutter "you too!" to a roomful of people.

I mean I get it, I just lump them together because for fake-mexican stuff I don't really care about the time savings taco bell offers. Like I said, I'd almost always rather just not eat than get taco bell if that was the only option, which it often was in college since we didn't have a 24/7 mcd/wendys/bk at the time.

I think the worst forced interaction is long joh nsilvers and their stupid bell. Ring it? Everyone turns to look at you and the employees yell out thanks and make it weird. Don't ring it? Some rear end in a top hat yells out a passive aggressive "you're welcome".

The term "love triangle" is a misnomer. If A's into B who's into C - that's a line. For it to be a triangle C would also have to be into A. Same goes if it's A and B both competing for C's affections; still a line. It should be called a "love triad".

That's a love echelon you just described; a triangle is a closed shape, an echelon is a 'V.'

Taco Bell is loving amazing for what it is (delicious stoner trash that's reasonably cheap, served by folks who simply do not give a gently caress). And my buddy claims it's the least unhealthy fastfood there is account of the veggies and TVP filler, admittedly more of an indictment of other fastfood than a commendation of Taco Bell.

Chipotle is good too, but twice as expensive. It's better eaten later once you get home and can properly stir up the ingredients in a mixing bowl. If you don't get lettuce, your faux-Mexican amalgam will retain its texture after reheating the next day. Lettuce is gross reheated, though.

The Angry Whopper is the most delicious sandwich on this planet and I'm super glad it's seasonal with like half the rotation of the McRib else I'd be even more presidential than I already am. I hope it's available on the day I kill myself, 'cause I can't think of a better way to die than engorged with zesty burgs. :yum:

Don't get me wrong, I don't want to kill myself, but :capitalism:.

PHUO?: my hometown sucks but it's one saving grace is the cuisine of actual local mexican places that anyone from further away than New Mexico describes, inevitably, as "inauthentic."

Because the food a bunch of mexican folks who describe themselves as mexican, in a place that used to be Mexico, is different from what you get in Cancun. (Or worse, California) that makes it "inauthentic"

Because The United States of Mexico have exactly one cuisine right? Assholes?

I first read this "United States of America" and thought, "Uh, yes? Salted greasy carbs, with any incidental nutrition or flavor surgically excised from the meal."

Can you describe this authentic cuisine? Every time I get "authentic"[-ish] Mexican cuisine, it always seems a little... Applebees-y? I have no idea but something about the taste-texture intersection seems just a little bit off. Preservatives to make the meal possible via ingredients that had to travel three-quarter way 'round the globe?
I live in Minnesota so *shrug*.

I kinda assume that all food made in Minnesota is some slight variation of tater tot casserole.

I think that's the root of Tubgoat's confusion, when they hear Mexican cuisine they think of tater tot casserole but made with "Mexican blend" cheese.

imagine a burrito where all the fillings are segmented instead of layered on top of each other. instead of a nice blend of the stuff, you'd basically be taking a big bite of one of five burritos glued together.
