Taco Bell goes high class..... Or e-coliriffic!

So, I saw this add on TV boasting how Taco Bell now sells shrimp tacos. I don't think this is the best idea. My sister says I'm a food snob, but that's not where this is coming from. Really, I love Taco Bell as much as the next girl, but is shrimp really in demand at the Bell?

Hear me out. I was in line at the Taco Bell drive through once and they were unloading the truck. I was really happy I only eat the chicken tacos there once I read the cartons. They read, "Grade F Beef: Edible".

IF YOU HAVE TO LABEL FOOD AS EDIBLE, PEOPLE PROBABLY SHOULDN'T BE EATING IT. (I'm just saying)

And, while they boasted a hearty portion of 5 shrimp per taco, you and me know that's not much, considering they're probably small shrimp (about U35's I'm guessing). Plus, once microwaved I'm guessing they get chewier than bubble gum.




Look at that picture. Sure it looks delicious-ish, but there's 2 of your 5 shrimpies right there. Besides, has Rob Cockerham taught us nothing when it comes to fast food?

My advice to Taco Bell: You don't have to get all fancy-like, just stick to what keeps us coming back, cheap fauxican food we crave late at night.
