Everyone should watch this - this was when Taco Bell was actually good!

Yes, yes it was. To give you an idea here's what went into just a taco:

Corn tortillas were deep fried in lard using special shaping racks and kept in a warming cabinet that supplied dry heat at 200 degrees.

Beef from five pound chubs (usually two at a time) was browned on a stove top in large pans and had to be drained before it was brought to the production line. The seasoning was made from a dry mix and added while cooking the meat.

Heads of lettuce were trimmed and then shredded using a Hobart machine and the shredded lettuce was stored in a walk in refrigerator where it was kept hydrated and ready to be brought to the line.

Blocks of cheese each weighing approximately 42 pounds were cut with piano wire into seven segments which were run through the same Hobart machine using a different shredding blade, and the shredded cheese was kept in a bus tub in the walk in ready to be brought to the line.

And all of that (and much more) was kept on the production line in small quantities to ensure that the food was as fresh as possible. And that's just a taco. Taco Bell used to be real food.

Don't think of a traditional pizza with Mexican toppings. Think more this;

That's a dated add - they no longer carry green onions, thanks to the sue happy ****s.

I think it's important the CP millennials understand how great Taco Bell used to be! It was even better than Taco Johns and TJs is the best restaurant in Kansas City maybe.

No green onions and no olive slices.

Not sure if this has been discussed anywhere but this should be added to the Burger King list of terrible ideas

LMAO I do not remember the Whopperito.

However I do remember this bad idea:

They also did some other type of mini-burgers in the early to mid 80s but I do not recall what they were called and they flopped just as badly.

Here they are, Burger Bundles. Total false advertising because the ****ing things weren't even actually flame broiled but they show them running on the conveyor belt and even show them with grill lines on them, but when you pulled one apart you could tell it was just microwaved.

And lastly, while I was researching this Whopperrito abomination I ran across this good read of what a ****ing disaster BK has become.

It's sad because a lot of their specialty 'roll out' items (new food releases) were out of desperation and trying to match Wendy's & McD's.
