Now I do like some TB, in fact, I could eat it once a day for the rest of my life and never be sick of it.
But it is not “spicy”. At all. Unless your idea of spicy is tobasco being on the upper end.
Those who have digestive problems with TB are from a weak bloodline
I don’t think anyone who claims to have GI issues after eating Taco Bell claims that it’s because it’s spicy. Well…aside from OP maybe? I think it’s just because it’s low quality food that consists almost entirely of meet and cheese. That being said, I don’t think I’ve generally had that issue either.
And beans. Americans don’t eat a lot of fiber.
Yup, this is the reason. Americans are used to fatty, processed foods; a double quesorito supreme shouldn’t be a problem. Fiber, on the other hand…
You mean “meat” and “cheese”
Could be a fondue party? Or a family photo shoot?
“cheese food” is a food label that pretend cheese must use instead of cheese. TB may contain “meat food”

I thought the ground beef was found to be like 30-40% beef and mainly whey? I vaguely have a memory of them being sued for something (maybe 10-15 years back), that coming out, then the “meat” being rebranded across the board as a material they now reference as “seasoned beef”?
RIP Double Decker taco 😢
And chilito/chili cheese burrito. I lived in those as a kid.
You like some Tuberculosis?!
I don’t get the need to abbreviate everything. It just makes things harder to read and parse.

Sounds like a skill issue, tbh lol it’s all about context. In a thread about Taco Bell how could you not come to the conclusion that a comment in said thread with TB = Taco Bell?
Yea it probably is a skill issue as I don’t need to perfect this skill in my daily life in Germany.
But what good did the abbreviation do? Save less than a second especially with auto completion? Was that worth inconveniencing others?

You don’t need contextual reasoning or reading comprehension in Germany?
Was that worth inconveniencing others?
Your ability to read and infer meanings from context isn’t my problem.
Nice strawmen you got there. Of course I meant that I at least do not encounter such contextual abbreviations outside of technical documents in my daily life.
You didn’t need to announce that you don’t care about how others see you, seeing that you would rather insult me and argue against a strawman. Have a nice one.
I never really got this.
I’ll eat taco bell and be as fine as eating anything else.
Homies just need some damn probiotics or something.
The mere presence of fiber through beans in the typical American diet causes their bowels to enter a state of celebration.
Taco Bell is not spicy lmao. Time to have real food.
I don’t think it’s about spice. I think it’s about velocity.
I’m no health food nut but I don’t know how anyone can consume Taco bell. I love tacos, and all the other food types on their menu but… taco bell? I cant do it. So nasty. If I’m gunna go out for tacos, Ima swing by an authentic hole in the wall Mexican joint and have a sweet abuelita warp that magic in a golden corn tortilla for the same price and maybe 3 minutes slower than the TB drive in line.
Yup for real, if I want spicy I also go Mexican as well as Indian
The Taco Bell meme has never been about the spice…
above says “spicy food”
Fair. Didn’t look at the caption.
Skip TB. Go support your local Mexican restaurant, and try their pickled onions with habaneros and work up your tolerance to actually spicy food.
There’s a venerable French food restaurant in my town, it’s been there for something like 80 years and still going strong.
In her old age back in the 1970s and 80s, the founder of the restaurant, trained in the Cordon Bleu culinary tradition, loved going to Taco Bell! Her friends used to scratch their heads and tried to understand, or talk some sense into her:
“But… that doesn’t make sense! Cheddar, ground beef, lettuce and cream in tacos… it’s not even real Mexican food!”,
to which she replied:
“If I want Mexican food, I’ll go get Mexican food. But sometimes I just want Taco Bell!”, which is to say she craved some tex-mex.Calling Taco Bell tex-mex is dubious at best, as well! It’s definitely inspired by it, and has had some influence on the restaurants since; but it’s far too fast-food-y to be considered proper tex-mex. TB is in a category all its own creation, which is definitely not a bad thing.
Exactly.
Same reason I sometimes eat boxed mac&cheese or go to a mcdonalds instead of a real burger place. Sometimes the thing is it’s own thing instead of what it’s imitating.
I can’t make a mcdonalds hamburger at home. I can’t get the ingredients and bread:sauce:meat:cheese ratio right. My burgers are good, I’d even say better, but they aren’t the same and sometimes I’ll crave the mcdonalds version.
Honestly, I hate these arguments. “To each his own,” “Don’t yuck my yum,” etc. Sometimes I want to do things I know are imperfect and you, internet stranger, have no ability or prerogative to tell me what I can do or like.
This reads like an ad.
The picture raises questions. If that is glowing due to heat, then something bad is happening. But maybe it is a bright light in a translucent pipe or something?
Likely a cast iron pipe that has grounded an electrical current. It is in fact, “something bad”.
Looks like a bright orange light is shining from below, but I favour the impossible explanation tbh
If it were that, I would expect to see a lot of orange light spill on the ceiling, and a clear shadow of the pipe.
Well, there is light and shadows, but you are right: they both would be much stronger, more clear.
Think sunset coming through a window
I’m going to need you to tell me what kind of pipes you think pipes are made out of…
For a couple of days a year the plastic flue above my boiler does this - from the sun hitting it at the perfect angle. (Source: once thought my boiler was about to blow up.)
Those don’t look like PVC fittings, so I am guessing it is a metal pipe. The minimal loss of light at the overlapping sections and how it fades makes me think that it is truly incandescent.
Ah, my college days.
