Taco Bell
Strawberry Starburst Slush: I've been thinking about this for maybe a month.4/10. Nothing special.
Grilled Stuffed Nacho: Gave into the advertisements.5/10. It's probably my favorite thing at Taco Bell now. It's solid, but it has its cons. Mine had like no chips in it. This is not nachos conveniently wrapped in a grilled wrap. Speaking of grilled wrap, the wrap isn't the best either because it didn't keep its form after 1 or 2 bites. With that said, it has sour cream and lots of melted cheese and had a good flavor and was only $1.49. With THAT said, at $1.49 it filled me up for almost exactly the amount of time it took to drive home.
I got the grilled stuffed nacho tonight. A++ 9/10 awesomeness. As good as the quesarito. I think the Mexicans at your local Taco Bell suck at wrapping things, because mine held form like a fucking champ. A dog actually tugged at it at one point and it didn't fall apart. I will be feasting on grilled stuffed nachos again, oh yes I will.

Wait a second... did I read that right, that a dog tugged at your Grilled Stuffed Nacho and you ate it afterwards?

Please someone tell me I read that wrong...

We all know the McD's ads are retarded, but has anyone caught the new KFC ads with the colonel back in them? Something about them seems off-putting to me as well

I agree, and I think it's because rather than try to make a convincing Colonel Sanders, they made a guy who is impersonating Colonel Sanders. It's more akin to something you'd see on an SNL sketch than a real attempt at recreating their famous mascot. I think they did that on purpose for humorous effect.

The humor is lost on me I guess, I just sat there confused why this old racist southern man was pushing chicken

It's Colonel Fucking Sanders, dude! He's not racist. He's given fried chicken to the masses. Black people love him!

They called themselves KFC for awhile, instead of their full name, because they didn't want to be labeled as fried food. Now they seem to be embracing it. Kind of like Hardee's is doing. They don't give a fuck how many calories are in their food.

The new Colonel commercials are strange and utterly failing.

There has seemed to be a pretty big push for retro advertising/marketing the past few years. For example, lots of McDs that were built over the last decade or so had architecture more similar to the old school ones with the giant arches. Also, a while ago Miller switched back to their old school label and beer bottle (as opposed to the silly vortex bottles they had been pushing) and--if I remember correctly--saw a hefty increase in sales. I imagine KFC is trying to do something similar by going back to their roots as Kentucky Fried Chicken.

And he still doesn't answer the mystery to if he ate it afterwards, like it sounds like...
Yeah, I ate it. I was sitting on the bed and my girlfriend's poodle jump up on my lap and grabbed at one of the corners, tugging it a little. He bit off a little piece of the corner but it stayed held together. Why wouldn't I eat it?

Damnit man, you're creating just as many questions as you are answering. You're eating Taco Bell in bed? !?

The conclusion I drew from the new hamburglar and the new Colonel Sanders is that the creepy burger king mascot must be considered a huge success and the other fast food places want their own creepy mascot now.

Sorry, you're wrong. The grilled stuft Nacho is C tier Taco Bell. Even comparing it to the quesarito should make you feel ashamed

Ritley you're talking about a man that once stated all pizza tastes the same, eats lofthouse cookies for dinner, and used to dip cold or room temperature pizza rolls straight from the bag into ranch dip.
