Only 4 nuggets, and holy hell if that ain’t a joke for a drink size! BTW, that’s supposed to be sweet tea, but it’s bitter as hell…

    mcdonalds is advertising something like this to which is basically copying wendys thing they have been doing for awhile. meanwhile taco bell is advertising how great the garbage in their $7 box is. who knew it only took a few bucks to kick my fast food bad habit.

      There’s nothing wrong with Taco Bell’s bean burritos and they’re only about two bucks. Of course, most of what they sell is garbage. I miss their black bean burritos. Those were actually good.

        You can swap meat for black beans in any tacobell item - 1 for 1. No charge.

        The veggie cravings box is my go-to I don’t want to cook meal.

          Interesting. I’ve never special ordered except to say something like “no tomatoes”. I’ll have to give that a try. I didn’t know they have black beans anymore at all, but I’m not exactly a frequent flyer.

                The crunch wrap IS a soft flour tortilla with a tostada shell in the middle of it. Its a flat crunchy taco wrapped in a tortilla blanket.

                  Oh okay. I’m obviously not terribly familiar. I don’t think I need the crunch shell, but I could see the texture difference being enjoyable.

        Eh? I could have sworn I just saw those on the menu when I was there a couple weeks back

          Maybe it’s regional? Hasn’t been available where I live for many years.

        I haven’t been to a Taco Bell in like 20 years, after they put already opened packets of hot sauce in my drive through bag. But that’s a different story for a different day under a different community…

          Dude, the Crunchwrap Supreme came out in 2005. If it’s legit been 20 years since you’ve been, you’ve gotta try one!

            I don’t trust the hiring practices of any restaurant chain that hires people that’ll just as soon throw used sauce packets in your bag.

            Like, they literally dug through their trash to grab those packets… 🤮

              Just admit you’re being irrational at this point. A single bad employee over 20 years ago is not indicative of overall practices.

                Yeah, I get you. But if you knew the particular employee and all the restaurants he worked at, you’d question all of their hiring practices.

                It was only like 10 years ago that I dared trying Hardee’s again, because their former cook (that worked multiple restaurants) would literally hock and blow snot bubbles while talking to you…

                Things like that totally make you wanna wait a decade or more before returning to the same location.

                Side note, I’ve also had a truck stop demolished and eventually rebuilt by another company, because they had rats in their kitchen area and I reported it.

      We don’t often go for fast food, but once or twice a month we’re too lazy to make our own food and just wanna relax at the end of the day.

      But yeah, fast food generally sucks anymore these days. In all fairness though, it filled a hole in my belly, but the tea tasted like shit.

        I would grab stuff way to often but its basically twice what it used to be and went from something I could do without tracking to something I need to budget for (partially also because necessities are more expensive puting the squeeze on it in two ways) and whelp. it aint worth budgeting for. we have actually been taking what we used to spend and buying a bit higher quality grocery items. It sucks losing the convenience but eating better is nice.
