Memeory Time: Taco Bell’s Problem Packets

A recent visit to my local Taco Bell left me so completely frustrated I thought it would be best if their sauce packets told the tale:

Taco Bell Hell, in 4 Packets

On the bright side, this happened inside the restaurant rather than a Taco Bell Drive Thru, where I had probably the worst fast-food experience of my entire life.

Of course I’ll still go back to Taco Bell…one of my few guilty pleasures ;-)

For some more Taco Bell packets you’ll (probably) never see, but wish you could, check out a classic post from 2013.

By , International Business Times, December 27th, 2021

“On Sunday, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul revealed that the state saw 49,708 new cases on Dec. 24 alone.”
“New York City reports that 80.5% of its residents have received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccination and 71.7% are fully vaccinated.”

New York state makes up almost 45% of new COVID-19 cases in US
by Ryan King, Washington Examiner, December 27, 2021


In my opinon the “sickness” this Christmas Season isn’t about what appears to be a highly-contagious but perhaps mild variant of COVID-19 killing mostly people already vaccinated against COVID-19, but perhaps about a mainstream media more interested in forcing Florida to submit to Federal COVID-19 “guidelines” via the Court of Public Opinion and sour Gov. DeSantis’ chances should he run in the 2024 Presidential Election.
