"Reverse racism" claim at Taco Bell

[gollygee]

Honestly this woman is either doing this on purpose to get a reaction or she's high and has no idea what she's doing but it's funny so I'm putting it here anyway.

I think the people working there were pretty nice considering what they were dealing with. I'd say that this woman's claim that not being able to get french fries at Taco Bell is racist might make her a candidate for the word "wypipo" - since that's the word of the day at DU again apparently - though at least she didn't call the police.

1. Taco Bells in my area have been advertising their fries nonstop on tv and radio.

They serve them with that yellow paste they call "cheese" sauce.

2. Nacho fries or something

This must not have been done when those were on the menu - they haven't been out long. Are they still out? I'd heard they were horrible.

4. I'll confess to eating a taco bell taco from time to time when in a hurry on some job,

but most of their food is really terrible. Their breakfast food is inedible. I sure as hell wouldn't try their fries.

That said, some random stoner girl isn't the best example of anything.

The Dollar Menu War Is Heating Up With Taco Bell's New $1 Nacho Fries

By NATASHA BACH January 4, 2018

Taco Bell escalated the fast food wars on Wednesday by announcing that it will begin selling Nacho Fries for a limited time starting Jan. 25. And even better, the fries will only set you back $1.

7. Did you call up their corporate office and confirm that?

The national ads are out of sync with what local markets offer. Also those big chains do test things in certain markets before releasing them nationwide. You are just guessing when they started offering fries.

That said, it is pointless putting much stock into what spills out of some stoned customer.

9. Shouldn't she be saying "Freedom Fries?"

[gollygee]

10. ROFL!!

I remember the whole "Freedom Fries" thing LOL

11. Why was someone recording her before she even asked for fries?

I call performance art.

12. Seems likely.

13. Yah. That's like the time I ordered a Whopper with Cheese

at a McDonalds. The person at the counter didn't even blink an eye, and I got my Quarter Pounder with Cheese without saying another word.

14. I vaguely remember the story

of Michael Jackson complaining to his Congressman that there was no Taco Bell in Solvang.
