Back in my day this MF was .29 cents and was THICK with INGREDIENTS

Well, not when you find out it's corn and silicate filler. They're selling you flavored sand burritos.
I hate sand...

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

Listen I'm not some sort of math wizard I just want a big veiny burrito every now and then

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 ā $3,370,100.
an average Taco Bell owner can make an average of $80,000 ā $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 man, the food was complete garbage back then as welll.
You were just 16.
16 and stoned.

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.

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.

Hehe yeah!

Anyone else see this as a gold nugget in the thumbnail?

Do folks actually get the shits from Taco Bell? After 24 years of Taco Bell I've never had the shits from it. McDicks otoh, shits Everytime.
Honestly, no idea. I hate Mexican food.

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.

Friend, Taco Bell isn't Mexican food. It's honestly barely an attempt at one.
You could almost call it shitty tex-mex.

Cheesy bean and rice burrito was $1 until recently and over 400 kcal each. Looks like they're 1.79 now, thanks Trump.
