Taco Bell's 1/2-lb. burritos for $1.99
This is a true scam of genius, genuinely beautiful in its simplicity.
Taco Bell earlier this year was pushing its "89c burritos." Now it's pushing the exact same burritos as "1/2 pound burritos" for more than double the price. Sheer genius! |

Are those the ones with watered down cheese, rice, and potatos? All that is definitely worth 3.99lb.

So this is what? Taco Bellism you're promoting? Why don't you do the scientific experiments like weighing the products and get back with us on your findings? And why are you looking for a fight?
I don't eat out these days unless I"m on the road. |

No Mexican thought of that, I'd bet anything.
Our wildlife discussions elicited the fact that a hell of a lot of WN know nothing about economics and indeed exhibit a '30s-style commie boilerplate in denouncing evil predatory land-raping corporations. Corporations, in my life time, taking the tiny example of tacos, have brought us - shells that don't crumble - shells that don't fall over. Yeah, now, what has government done for us in that entire period? Government has given us not a single improvement in our lives equal even to two tiny corporate improvements in taco shells. Faith in Government 'n' his son Regulation is the real religion of our times, and goddam it is as dumb as jebooism, as baseless as jebooism, as ugly as jebooism. |

Here's the scam.
For a little money, white america can divorce themselves from the fast food culture. I never eat in an establishment that has nigger cooks or waitresses.
NEVER. Why take the risk of adulteration? Most chimps have it in for whites. I cooked up some pork steak and small white beans from scratch, not light on the pork, and I can have meals for days. It cost me under five dollars. So eat healthy at home, know exactly what is going into your food, and as a bonus save money. Thos. |

What if you noticed that a product you bought last week at the grocery store had new packaging this week with a big "New Value Size!" printed on it yet was actually 1 or 2 ounces less in weight and still the same price. Would you keep that information to yourself and quit buying it or would you tell everyone that you know that might have interest in that fact?

Now that they've returned the price to a profitable level and used a little marketing to soften the blow you call that a "scam"??? Any free-marketeer/libertarian/no-regulation capitialist calling this a scam is a hypocrite. The sellers can set their price and the buyers can keep their wallets closed and walk away. |

Fast food doesn't do loss leaders, that's grocery store marketing.
I haven't eaten at Taco Bell in years and when I did I stuck with the plain hard tacos; I hate all that sour cream crap in my food and all that brown mush. Anyways, I assumed Alex knew what he was talking about and gave him the benefit of the doubt on this trivial issue. That is until now. I gave the Taco Bell website a visit and within seconds found out the difference between the two. 1/2 lb. Burrito $1.99 double portion beef, cheese sauce, tomatoes, sour cream, red strips(red peppers?) - in a tortilla 5 layer burrito $0.89 ground beef, beans, cheddar cheese, sour cream, nacho cheese sauce - in a tortilla So there, scam debunked.
