Yeah I see several ads every time I get on now. Was really hoping to leave that garbage behind on Reddit.

that's what I gave up on trying to explain to r/hailcorporate: you don't have to get paid to be an advertiser. these empty souls will do it for free, because they've already fused their identity with their fav corporations

and calling the shit out and reposting it is just another layer of advertising, too, so r/HC got the unsub too

I don’t think lemmy is big enough to be getting that

[-] TimewornTraveler@lemm.ee 3 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

of course it is, it's right on front of you. it's just a question of where are they getting it from. In this case, it's likely from the users themselves, happy to freely shill their favorite corporation

[-] return2ozma@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

I'm not affiliated with Taco Bell at all, I'm just a big Taco Bell stan. Wish there was a Taco Bell instance like on the site we shall not say.

What is that these days, 3 bean burritos and a drink?

[-] Exusia@lemmy.world 29 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Taco bell is easily one of the most affordable fast food chains in my area now

[-] Gork@lemm.ee 13 points 8 months ago

Only if you get the right menu items. As much as I love the chalupas, $4.99 for each one is ridiculous.

The bean burritos do a good job filling you up though and they're about half the price. I miss when they were less than a dollar though.

Second only to Wendy’s

[-] return2ozma@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago

Surprisingly, you can get some items for cheap like their $5 box in the app.

[-] dingus@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago

I remember I tried to order a $5 box from Taco Bell a few years ago. The employee was confused and said "it's $10 here". Idk how they are able to put ads saying it was $5 when it actually was double that in most areas lol. Are you still getting the original price in the app nowadays or something?

[-] lone_faerie@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 8 months ago

It's like the $5 foot long, which was neither $5 or a foot long

[-] m_randall@sh.itjust.works 4 points 8 months ago

Man I went to the drive through after work one day, got a few things, and holy shit how is it almost $30?!

Unfortunately these days to get the old prices you have to use their app. Fortunately (at least for me) it works pretty well and it might actually be better value than it used to be.

[-] MasterNerd@lemm.ee 3 points 8 months ago

You're paying the extra price one way or another. Whether that be through loyalty deals making you buy from them more, or in the valuable data they can use to profile you with based on your buying habits they use the rewards program to track

[-] june@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

If you have it delivered, yes.

[-] buzz86us@lemmy.world 14 points 8 months ago

Yeah like holy shit.. Used to be a dollar for their burritos.. Now you're lucky if it is $2, and portions haven't improved to reflect the price.

I feel very seen right now ngl.

[-] DharmaCurious@startrek.website 11 points 8 months ago

I've had a stressful couple of weeks, and got a B on a paper.

I drove 1.5 hours away today to go to a local fastfood chain to get my favorite burger today. Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.

[-] NegativeLookBehind@kbin.social 9 points 8 months ago

A B is really good, don’t beat yourself up too much.

[-] Donjuanme@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

I've got my "at least I'm not in prison"hamburger... Then the company that sold it went off the deep end. Now I have a slightly more expensive, takes slightly longer, much more local better not in prison burger!

The true irony in all this is Taco Bell's headquarters is in Southern California (as is Del Taco) where REAL Mexican food dominates them both.

California Burritos, Baja Tacos and Carne Asada Fries any day, all day.

[-] Telodzrum@lemmy.world 13 points 8 months ago

Oh man, all those people going to Taco Bell and thinking they're in for a real authentic Sonoran experience are really missing out, I guess.

Del Taco has $0.60 snack tacos now and I'm still like "Haha, nice try Del Taco. But the taco truck a block from here has better tacos for only $0.50/2 tacos."

[-] MindSkipperBro12@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago

I go to Mexican restaurants for authentic Mexican food.

I go to Taco Bell to get Taco Bell.

[-] RubberElectrons@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Yeah it's actually funny, I ride past taco bell HQ regularly. It's this aggressively bland concrete block in Irvine.. kinda like their food.

I eat it now and again, using the veggie mode on the order screen nowadays. But the mom & pop food trucks give you way more for way less.

Make that a cool $36 bucks and have it delivered for ultimate degeneracy.

Meanwhile you can go to the grocery store and pay ~30$ for 3lb beef, 20shells, 3 heads romane lettuce, 1lb Mexican cheese, and taco sauce. And have a single person's meals for the next 5-6 days. I know because it's been part of my meal prep for a while.

Pushed to work a job you don't enjoy. It gives you money, and emptiness. You fill the emptiness with the money. Now you need money, and are still empty.
