Taco Bell's new beefy cheesy melt does not contain nearly as much cheese as is illustrated in their latest commercial. That is all.

[austro]

I'd be surprised if it contained any actual cheese.

Preach.  I bought a couple of those the other night.  I had been experiencing "bowel" issues, and was hoping the advertised amount of cheese would help plug things up while the rest of the body healed.

No such luck as the exact opposite happened, the lack of cheese, combined with the taco meat, rice and fire sauce aided in only evacuating what was left of my colon.

All in all, it's not a bad snack, but it ain't no enchirito.

and like some men they seem to have a size issue. nothing is ever as big as advertised

[MikeyBoy]

I'd be surprised if it contained any actual cheese.

The letter "y" on the end of beef and cheese exempts the product from actually containing beef and cheese.

I had to stop eating at Taco Bell in college.  Were it not for a sympathetic marketing TA who let me leave during a test, several people around me would've been injured in the ensuing rectal explosion.

Good luck with that. Mainly I was just disappointed. I had dusted off an old Modern English CD and made sure I had plenty of room to extend my arms. Then reached into the bag and produced this wretched cigarillo of meat paste, which looked nothing like the beast from television. Tasty though.

One day, Taco Bell will add an item to their menu that has a new ingredient.  The have to run out of ways to combine tortillas, beef and cheese at some point...don't they?

Fat Tony:  I don't get it.  Everyone loves rats, but they don't want to

I thought they had hit that point when they introduced the "Border Bowls", around the same time that sister chain KFC rolled out their much maligned "Famous Bowls". It was like they all said 'fuck it, just pile it into a bowl and charge $3.50.' But the hits just keep coming. I guess the last chapter will be when they decide to serve it predigested in a cup, so Andy can just take it home and pour it directly into the toilet.

[Matt]

I've found that Del Taco is a better quality place. That's not saying much in comparison with Taco Bell but if I have to choose between the two I'll go to Del Taco.

[MusicMan]

Now I'm confused... I thought this was exactly what a Border Bowl was.

[Kevin]

Am now beginning to regret starting this thread. Getting queasy.

Did anyone else read that as Border Bowels?

Yes.

[94CougarGrad]

My kid ordered a KFC Famous Bowl once. I tried to dissuade him, but he wouldn't have it. He devoured the thing, pronounced it "pretty good," and woke up three times in the middle of the night with a foul tummy and a bathroom trip.

His reaction the following morning: "Cheese and gravy and corn together isn't good, mom. I'm never gonna order that stupid thing again."

I ordered one once against my better judgement.

Our bathroom was deemed radioactive later that evening, and my roommate didn't talk to me for 2 days after.

[MusicMan]

I think the "against my better judgement" part can always be assumed in a Border Bowl/Famous Bowl order.

The Famous Bowls.  They're kind of like women.  I love them, but since I can't see inside them, I don't trust them.

you ate at taco hell trying to plug yourself up? I think you need to check the facts again

[GreatBagwellsBeard]

You know, I've been searching for a website where I can talk about my favorite baseball team AND my favorite bowel movements.

Honey, park the RV: I'M HOME!

Also, it's worth searching YouTube for Patton Oswalt's standup routine about the Famous Bowels.  It's almost as much fun as Jim Gaffigan's riff on Hot Pockets.

Nothing is safe here...

Except for the shattering of the meatball sub record. That is a taboo subject to broach now-a-days.

[GreatBagwellsBeard]

Usually, any story I tell about a meatball sub ends with some use of the word "shattered".

Just wait until the next road trip to Cincinnati when we start talking about Cornhole tournaments and Skyline Chili.

Come on now, KM. The non-ripping is more praise than anyone could put into words.

[Col. Sphinx Drummond]

It's no coincidence that the phase, dining against one's better judgment, is most often accompanied with a later comment about one's bowels.

Last week I bought a family pack of three Rib Eyes from HEB. Against my better judgment I had steak three nights in a row, then, I had the most disturbing lack of bowel movements for the next couple of days. I guess I should have been eating lunch at Taco Bell to balance things out. Note to self.....

This story has made me uncomfortable in a number of ways.  Have you ever heard of fiber?  They sell it in convenient little pills now!

More than a little ironic, coming from Slow Poke Rodriquez.

I've never seen more shopping carts loaded down almost exclusively with cheap beer and raw meat since the last time I ventured over to the Fiesta supermarket at I-35 and 32nd Street.  No me gusta.

I had Skyline chili once. Never again. Chili should not be sprinkled with cheese and served on top of spaghetti. It just ain't right.

Nope that is called Spaghetti or Gross depending on whom you talk to.

And don't get me started on adding beans to the mix.

[Craig]

And don't get me started on adding beans to the mix.

Or cinnamon and chocolate, which are in Skyline Chili.

A few years ago during a pennant run, in an effort to appease the BBG's, Foghorn concocted his own version of Skyline Chili and ate it. it didn't end well.

Sacrilege, along with the beans.

In honor of this thread, I paid a visit to Arby's today. The Big Beef 'n Cheddar has special evacuative characteristics of its own. You can now get it with bacon, in case the half pound of roast beef isn't enough.

Thanks for taking over where my laziness left off. 

One good turn does deserve another.  However, never turn this sketch into a drinking game for every time he says "Hot Pocket".  You'll be fighting the po-leece before you know it.

[toddthebod]

There are a couple of downsides of keeping Kosher.  No pork products, no shellfish or most seafood, no meat and cheese combinations.  Those are some pretty big ones.  Less obvious is that I can't really participate in this lovely discussion. 

I often tell my wife that if I didn't eat Kosher, I would weight about 5,000 pounds since I would probably live in Del Taco.  No Kosher restaurant has ever seved 3 soft tacos for a buck!!!  Mindboggling.  Three soft tacos . . . for a buck!!!  [sigh]
