The title is dumb, but accurate.
How bad is y’all’s day to day diet that the very hint of capsaicin throws your innards into distress? I mean I know I’m an outlier in USia cause I occasionally eat some raw veggies, but y’all really gotta take better care of yourselves.
Many years ago, I went to some stately home National Trust type place with my missus.
At one point she “had to go”, so we ran to the toilet and she was in there for ages.
Eventually she came out. “Go, go…” she ushered me away.
Behind her another woman was coming out. She looked like a picture of a WW1 soldier that had just been mustard gassed.
I’ve never been more proud.
Wtf. What kind of food does Taco Bell serve? Especially in their core US market. This is not the first time I’ve seen jokes of this type.
Here in Spain we do have a few Taco Bell’s but they serve shitty bland food, nothing that will explode you.
Taco Bell serves fast food of average quality and that’s the dull reality of it. I have never in my life experienced bowel discomfort from Taco Bell, nor have I known anyone who has. I’m convinced that people who go on about such a thing are from inferior stock - the type of people who, in an apocalyptic scenario, are the ones who become food.
taco bell was the first exposure to anything approaching mexican or latin american food for a lot of white people in statesia. a lot of statesia was, up until the 80s and 90s, a food desert. most meals were made from largely canned goods. not a lot of spices or heat in the meal. so taco bell and panda express were pretty adventurous for a lot of middle statesia when it comes to food.
tie in the racist “don’t drink the water, it’s mexico” jokes, mash it all up over a few decades and now the joke is taco bell gives you the runs. it’s not even real mexican food it’s become so americanized but *shrugs*
Chipotle would be more accurate
Most people in America have never eaten fiber in their lives so if they eat beans they get the shits.
As someone else mentioned, it’s the lack of fiber in so many US folks diets. When we finally get more fiber than they are used to, they tend to poo a lot. The food itself is fine for fast food.
I used to eat at Taco Bell on a near daily basis because it was my favorite fast food, cheap, and in the mall I worked in. I have never once had bowel discomfort from the food there. Even now, I ate it a few weeks ago, no problems at all.
To be honest it’s usually a last minute decision when I can’t decide what to eat. I had an experience like this last week, though, for the first time in YEARS. Thus: this post.
For some reason James Browns “My Thang” is always my inner soundtrack to these kind of scenes.
