I find it interesting that Lemmy memes about beans and yet the slightest amount of fiber in their diet makes their colon explode in celebration, like an oasis in a desert in the once a decade rain
Dump some nacho cheese in there and you've got yourself a deal
I used to get Taco Bell like twice a month because it was tasty and cheap, even if it was garbage. But when fast food prices exploded the last few years, it really lost its appeal. The quality and variety dropped, too, and it just doesn't make any goddamn sense to drop $15 to eat at fucking Taco Bell. There are countless better options for that price. I think I maybe ate there once in the last year and nothing about it made me feel like I missed it. A bit sad since I used to enjoy it, but in the end I'm better off.
Took my wife and two kids to McDonald's. We don't weigh 400lbs. between us, ate very modestly. $30
Yeah, I just commented before I saw yours. Taco Bell has declined the most, by far, of the fast food places I've eaten at in the past 5 or so years.
I gotta give their corporate overloads credit -- it's kind of impressive that they figured out so many ways to make trash tier food so much worse, charge triple or more for it, and still remain in business.
If that's a Taco Bell 5-layer burrito, I don't remember them being 29 cents (grew up poor, we rarely ate out). But by the time I was out on my own as an adult, I could get two 5-layer burritos and a drink for around $3 - $4 USD and some change. It was enough food to sustain me for a day if it came down to it.
But yes, these days the 5-layers are more like dried out 3-layer mini-burrito abominations that cost $3 or $4 a piece. They are pretty much nothing like the large succulent many layered dollar / value menu beasts of the past.
I guess if typing up this post is considered yelling and web hosting is basically all cloud-based these days and I'm an old man by 2025 standards, then yes, I am indeed an old man yelling at clouds. But mostly I'm an old man avoiding Taco Bell now that it's completely ruined its brand.
Cheesy bean and rice burrito was $1 until recently and over 400 kcal each. Looks like they're 1.79 now, thanks Trump.
Three for less than a cent? That seems implausible.
Okay it was like 79 cents or something but still they're like almost $5 now and have almost nothing in them
I believe they are pointing out that $0.29 is 29 cents while your .29 cents is $0.0029. Thus you can get 3 for less than a cent.
Listen I'm not some sort of math wizard I just want a big veiny burrito every now and then
🤜🏻🤛🏻
5 bees for a quarter.
Couldn't get white onions, because of the war
I remember the bean burrito (which is perfectly fine food, btw) being 89 cents. Now I get two and it's something like six bucks.
Zero point two nine cents? That's cheap!
It also was vegetarian because it was corn pretending to be beef
Honestly if that's true not a bad job of faking it and I wouldn't even be mad
Well, not when you find out it's corn and silicate filler. They're selling you flavored sand burritos.
I hate sand...
1 Lb beef : $10.00 20 ea Tortilla: $7.00 Garlic 1oz: $1.00 Cumin: $1.00 Oil 2 oz: $2.00 Cheese: $6.00 Sour cream 10 oz: $3.00
Total: $30 For Ea 20
$1.50 is that floor for a good one of these. Bulk pricing and cheap labor could make this price possible. I think 3 is what a person might pay. PS not a chef, not a finance person.
Important to note that restaurants don't pay grocery store prices. I worked at a shop a couple decades ago that decided they had to grab ingredients at a grocery store due to Sysco stiffing them on some stock, and long story short no money was made that day.
Well you forgot to factor in the CEO pay and "line go up" requirement, so clearly you're not a finance bro!
Individual stores don't make much, it's just that there's a shitload of them (7,877) funneling franchise and advertising fees to the top.
The Taco Bell franchise cost can be significant, between $575,600 – $3,370,100.
an average Taco Bell owner can make an average of $80,000 – $90,000 a year
That ain't jack. I made $83K at my last job sitting on my ass WFH.
Take ALL the CEO's pay, $3,784,756, smear that out across every employee (175,000), they'd get a lousy $22 Christmas bonus. CEO pay ain't the problem, it's just a convenient and visible target.
No, their rampant greed and constant funneling is part of the problem absolutely and completely. Besides, this specific person is hardly a prime example of a grossly overpaid CEO when many are taking home much more than 3 mil. They're still responsible for the structure that funnels all that money upwards.
Anyone else see this as a gold nugget in the thumbnail?
Haha, I love how enthusiastic and forgiving OP is when it comes to these things. I’ve never had one, but higher prices and less ingredients/filling seems to be an unfortunate trend everywhere. Most sandwiches I see lately are 90% bread.
The food is, for the most part, garbage. But it used to be thick tasty garbage
NO man, the food was complete garbage back then as welll.
You were just 16.
16 and stoned.
Hehe yeah!
As a Norwegian, sandwiches are supposed to be 90% bread. But it's supposed to be good bread, not this nonsense Americans keep putting up with.
It must be so nice to have a variety of high quality breads to choose from. Authentic whole grain and rye breads are hard to find in my country. I’m sure Americans have access to different types of artisan breads, but the type used in fast food seems horribly over-processed and sugary.
Even with good bread, I like to be able to taste all the ingredients in the sandwich. Higher ingredient-to-bread ratios.
What I primarily miss in American bread is texture. Americans think white vs. whole grain are the only variations of flour, and are missing out on a whole world where the flour isn't ground to dust. Adding some ratio of medium and coarse ground flour is what gives the texture sorely missing in the floppy sadness Americans call bread.
I've spent the last few years of my life in the USA looking for some decent pumpernickel.
Ooh, that looks good. I had to look up how it looks. I learned to cook a lot of new different things simply because I wanted foods that are extremely uncommon where I live.
I hope you find your perfect pumpernickel!
And even at that price I still wouldn't eat it.
