Every time I've eaten it, even salt didn't help. Was like eating cardboard. Didn't matter if it was breakfast or other food.
I don't know why I like it, I can tell it's horrible. Kinda like Jack-in-the-Box tacos, I love those too, but they are so wrong.

So after checking Twin Galaxies, it turns out I'm the unofficial world record holder for high score on both tables on Pokémon Pinball.

And I haven't even had the game for two weeks.

So either no one else cared enough about the game to play it much, or you need to set down the gameboy and get some fresh air. :D

I'm joking, I'm joking.

Probably the former. I haven't had much time for games lately (finals and all).

See now I love the crappy ass JITB tacos too. But the thing is they have flavor. Everything I've ever eaten at Del Taco, both when I was little and they were in Texas and when I was in California a lot with my old job, was bland and tasted like nothing. I can specifically call out the one just off I-10 near CA border and the one down the road from Disneyland as being terrible and tasteless. :P

I played that game non-stop as a kid. It was actually a pretty good pinball game. I did get a really high score once after playing a single round for about 20 minutes, and I was really proud, but then the save battery died. :(

JnB tacos are my favorite kind of taco. They aren't very authentic at all, but they taste so good.

Of course there are better tacos than Taco Bell. That doesn't mean Taco Bell isn't awesome. I also really enjoy the tacos at Jack in the Box, though I practically never get to eat them since I no longer live in a state with any locations.

I have never gotten sick from Taco Bell.
