Cry for Help!
Everybody was going to Taco Bell. Everyone that is except for the Monz! Now the editors don't have a problem with Taco Bell. They recall chilly winter afternoons, watching intrepid TB employees try to figure out the instructions on how to make the latest menu item (the quessadillas). One editor even remembers a long-ago road trip with Monz to try all the different menu items and making fun of the fact that they were ALL THE SAME INGREDIENTS SQUIRTED OUT OF PLASTIC TUBES IN DIFFERENT ORDER! Except for some crunchy cinnamon-y desert, which as we recall Monz found enjoyable. But not today! "Taco Bell is just about the worst fast food ever." So Monz made do with leftovers from yesterday.
But we're not done with Taco Bell yet. Did you know, dear reader, that the "Bell" in Taco Bell isn't the Mex/Tex church bell in its logo? It's not a real "bell" at all - "Bell" was the last name of the founder! We've also read that the original logo was entirely different and a little racist, but we haven't been able a locate one to judge for ourselves. So if some Frito Bandito out there could hack into their corporate site or otherwise provide us a link and/or jpeg, we'd appreciate it!
