Even Taco Bell themselves took the time to dunk on the guy too
How does one eat 28$ at Taco Bell and live to tell the tale? Did he order the lobster?
Don’t some Taco Bells have margaritas? That could run your tab up pretty quickly
In the movie This is the End Seth Rogen (playing himself) was reminiscing with an old stoner friend about the time he was given a $20 Taco Bell gift certificate and decided to take upon himself the challenge of eating $20 of Taco Bell food in one sitting. It didn’t go well for him.
My standard go-to meal at Taco Bell is three soft tacos fresco - literally $5 and change total.
For 28 bucks at TB, he would have scored at least 30 “free” hot sauce packets… easy!
$28 isn’t much. All the shit Fox News spews has got to come from somewhere.
Have there been replies to AOC’s tweet that make it clear the outraged responder missed the point/humour of what she was suggesting? I bet there have been.
I did not know that , but Google tells me you’re right. About 7.50 for a margarita. Two or three margaritas on top of a full Taco Bell lunch sounds doable, but unpleasant.
This indulgence at Taco Bell is weird coming from the guys who are haunted by the spectre of Mexican immigration leading to a taco truck on every corner.
"…cost me about $28 at Taco Bell for lunch.”
About. +/- 20 bucks then.
My question is, what did he order for it to be $28. Out of context that might seem like a lot but it really depends on the overall order. My usual orders typically range between 7 to 14 bucks depending on what i’m getting and if i’m also picking up a drink for my SO
Taco Bell would have to install pay toilets to get someone to pay $28 for lunch.
If you’re having 2-3 alcoholic drinks at lunch time while working, Taco Bell prices are the least of your problems.
Martin later tweeted his order.
The takeaway is that he does not understand the concept of the Combo Meal.
Also, that is a hell of a lot of food for one person to consume in a single sitting.
That’s an order for 3 people. Again AOC makes a very succinct point there.
