That fourthmeal was when I really feel like they were advertising to me as a stoner.

It really is funny that Taco Bell's entire brand image is the charmingly trashy one. 100% content with being "gently caress it, you'll eat this garbage"

Probably because Del Taco and El Pollo Loco has covered the mid tier fast food Mexican Food segment pretty thoroughly, though at that point you start having to compete with the local and micro chain taco shops

For me the defining moment for Taco Bell was the time (about fifteen years ago) where they had to put out press releases declaring that the beef and chicken in their food did so meet the technical legal definition of "meat".

That third panel of the first comic just makes it. It's still funny if you remove it, but that panel included just makes it top tier.

Taco Bell is all winks and nudges, meanwhile Jack in the Box went after the Bongwater Brigade much more directly:

You say that but in like 48 out of 50 states Taco Bell isn't in competition with anyone for Mexican fast food.

Taco Time isn't good Mexican food but I really enjoy those crisp burritos on the rare occasion when I'm in a state that has Taco Times and I think to stop.

Teodor would literally kill to buy food from the same person who did oral on him

like what if she was some cool alt chick with a farm-to-table mobile kitchen stand serving modern but no-nonsense updates on French, Mediterranean, and Latin American comfort food classics and also she was super into like Cocteau Twins and live music

Haha, it seems that now on whenever I read 'farm-to-table' I can't help but think of the GarfieldEATS guy. Achewood restaurant when, Onstad? They could serve French-Mickey Mouse Philippe Imagination Pancakes, Galaxy Nachos, Pizza shaped like Ray's head
