In high school my three friends and I had an idea that we would take as much hot sauce as we could from Taco Bell until we could completely fill one of our lockers. The idea that the janitor would eventually open the locker and be buried under a mountain of hot sauce was wonderful. So every time we went to Taco Bell we would fill up our bag with hot sauce. <br /><br />Unfortunately my friend Jon got caught playing in the children's tunnel in the outdoor play area and we were told not to return. <br /><br />Anyway, what I did was wrong, I admit. But you taking more sauce than you need because you want to use it on other stuff is fine, I think. It's not like they have a sign that reads "please only take what you will use for your Taco Bell food." <br /><br />It's like taking an extra couple bags from the produce section at the grocery store because you want to collect your toenail clippings. I mean, we all do it... right?<br /><br /><b>Angie:</b> I remember going on family vacations to Mammoth every summer that I was a kid and stopping in Mojave. That was like a fast food wonderland. They had one of everything. I think I've only been through there twice in my adult life, thoughJustinMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01976061296214532098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319445054584013211.post-32998706308469089782010-10-19T00:22:01.690-04:002010-10-19T00:22:01.690-04:00Oh and I have just discovered BevMo as I am sippin...Oh and I have just discovered BevMo as I am sipping on an organic brew craft beer with hints of cardamom in it...it was better than visiting Disney World for me, well almost!o0angie0ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03718519012473996856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319445054584013211.post-8694065876231907412010-10-19T00:20:27.419-04:002010-10-19T00:20:27.419-04:00So are you saying that it wasn't so big that y...So are you saying that it wasn't so big that you had to take a time out? I just saw that silly commercial and it stuck in my head....I actually had a few weeks ago one of their higher quality soft tacos. I just felt that they plopped some tasteless chicken on it and put a bunch of cilantro, but I guess comparatively speaking it was good.<br /><br />My guilty pleasure is always their nachos...those sauces do look super, I might have to check that out tomorrow if the oxtail stew I am trying to make completely tanks.<br /><br />I work in Mojave and there are about 10 places to eat there and 9.5 of them are fast food so if that isn't motivation to bring your lunch I'm not sure what is!o0angie0ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03718519012473996856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319445054584013211.post-15035923377107538392010-10-18T19:30:11.667-04:002010-10-18T19:30:11.667-04:00I love Taco Bell's sauces.

So sometimes I go there and get something from the 79c value menu then take about four handfuls of the hot sauce packets. Is that unethical?<br /><br />I'll have to try the new sauces. Exciting!

I don't like Taco Bell and my main reason for liking Del Taco is their chicken soft tacos. <br /><br />The only time I remember trying Del Taco's beef in the last few years is a 39-cent taco I tried a few weeks ago. And there was hardly any beef in it. It was certainly drier than Taco Bell's - in other words not swimming in oil. So I guess I would say I like Taco Bell's ground beef more than Del Taco's, which is like saying I like the Yankees more than the Red Sox: it's a true statement but I don't like either so take it with a grain (or 1300 milligrams) of salt.JustinMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01976061296214532098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319445054584013211.post-52710484102112542582010-10-18T15:56:12.518-04:002010-10-18T15:56:12.518-04:00PP- what is your opinion on taco bell's ground...PP- what is your opinion on taco bell's ground beef vs del taco's ground beef? i agree with you in that taco bell's ground beef is nothing special, but i find it much more appealing than del taco's ground beef. to me, del taco's ground beef is dry and weird tasting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319445054584013211.post-18591180505912523052010-10-18T14:12:27.122-04:002010-10-18T14:12:27.122-04:00My friend Nick sent me a text yesterday about the ...My friend Nick sent me a text yesterday about the horrible Joe Girardi/Mariano Rivera XXL Chalupa commercial and said it was more of a disgrace to the game than anything Manny ever did.
