    Taco Bell did this as an April Fool’s joke 31 years ago inn the New York Times. The slogan was “Run for the border” at the time which was prophetic.

    Edit: 29 years ago

      From the other side, activist Paul Rogat Loeb lamented that the hoax "felt too real for comfort" in an era "when every value, ideal, and public symbol has a profit-seeking sponsor".

        Bullshit, it wasn't 31 years ago, they did that in the 90s.

                  I noticed the comm, then elected to eat it anyway

                  Helps that my metal type deck in Pokemon TCGP is named "Taco Bell *DONG*"

                  Woulda been "*BONG*" but apparently while they are okay with penis synonyms they draw the line at drug paraphernalia 🤷

                  Well tbf dong is common in some languages...

                  For instance, north koreas rockets are named something like type-o dong or something like that?

                  So there's these serious ass Korean guys staring at a missile test of what I can only write as type o' dong. Like an inquisitive Irish man asking about my penis.

                  Imaginary Irish guy: "oh type o' dong to ya?"
                  Me: "I dunno, slightly above average? Thicker near the top than the base... There's no curve if that's what you're asking..."

                    I did eat it, and I'm still eating it. I choose to manifest that this is a true thing in my universe.

                      MEXICO CITY (The Borowitz Report)—In a move likely to stir controversy, Mexico has officially renamed the Liberty Bell “the TACO Bell,” the Mexican president announced on Monday.

                      Effective immediately, the landmark will be referred to as the TACO Bell in all Mexican atlases, encyclopedias, and history textbooks, President Claudia Sheinbaum said.

                      In her announcement, she gave Donald J. Trump “full credit” for the name change.

                      “Thanks to Donald Trump, when one thinks of America, one no longer thinks of liberty,” she said. “One thinks of TACO.”
