Build your own cravings box - too big thinky

soft taco - get crunchy, coward

chalupa supreme - not that crunchy

cantina chicken bowl - doesnt look appetizing to me

cantina chicken soft taco - it's like a 1:10 ratio of chicken to bullshit

cantina chicken burrito - I sleep

Vanilla creme limonada freeze - you don't need the creme when it comes to lemon

Cheesy roll up - respect yourself

cheesy fiesta potatoes - it bothers me they use the word fiesta

Mexican pizza combo - you can get better value

mild sauce packet - grow up

reduced-fat sour cream - I know calorie nerds swear by it but I dislike it on principal

creamy jalapeno sauce - that's a shit load of calories though holy SHIT

red sauce - respect yourself

Mexican pizza sauce - respect yourself

wild strawberry freeze - the word wild

cheesy toasted breakfast burrito bacon - weird naming convention and it's mogged by sausage

Thank you

Counterpoint, the build your own cravings box is just about the only way to get a full vegan meal (assuming youre okay buying from the cow slaughtering business in the first place). Everything has cheese or sour crean by default so if you have to customize it all anyway its cheaper to get the box.

Counter to my counterpoint, They run their kitchens in an assembly line fashion that means 4 people will touch your food before its done and with the long and confusing receipts custom orders print, they will get your order wrong 50% of the time. So your vegan box turns into a fun way to gamble, especially if you live somewhere they couldn't possibly conceive of someone substituting beef for potatoes or anything else and think you made a mistake.

For what it's worth (in regards to my badpost), I tried to not just bash vegan options. I also just sort of hoped that nobody would come into a thread about the taco bell menu on c/badposting thinking they were getting good philosophy. This explanation of the build your own box was a tasteful addition, thank you.

In the spirit of bad posting and to turn this ship around, you did say mild sauce is for children so I'm afraid we're gonna have to fight.

[-] WhatDoYouMeanPodcast@hexbear.net 4 points 2 months ago

Sorry, I don't fight itty bitty fucking babies who can't handle a widde bit of spice

I just get 3 cheesy bean and rice burritos "hold the cheesy" and they've never objected. I usually pack myself a lunch anymore though because I don't have that kinda eating out money and if I do I might as well go to a sit down place since it's the same price anyway in 2024.

[-] Sulvor@hexbear.net 5 points 2 months ago

I'm glad I didn't see the cheesy bean and rice burrito. That thing is probably the best value fast food item I can think of.

[-] WhatDoYouMeanPodcast@hexbear.net 2 points 2 months ago

I saw the vision.

spicy potato soft taco thoughts?

[-] WhatDoYouMeanPodcast@hexbear.net 3 points 2 months ago

Not really my tempo but it seems like a solid option for a high vegetarian. They're not called fiesta potatoes so that bumps it up out of bad tier for me.

[-] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 4 points 2 months ago

Crunchwrap Supreme thoughts? I've taken the fold and cronchy middle idea to the home and have made good slop. Taco bell is basically gone in my region now.

[-] WhatDoYouMeanPodcast@hexbear.net 4 points 2 months ago

I think it's a tier below just going for a burrito or a crunchy taco which have my heart (which is why I often prefer chipotle). But to call it bad is being contrarian. Though if you make slop at home, at a certain level, it clears fast food slop entirely and that's a magical moment.

I was trying to think I of what an "american" restaurant would name their version of "fiesta potatoes" that would sound as cringe but everything I could think of I could absolutely see a restaurant actually naming something so I don't know

I've never had taco bell.

When the revolution comes, we will have Baja Blast available year-round in the community kitchen.

The potato tacos are the only things that id buy other than when they had the cool ranch tacos. The nacho fries are also disgustingly good too bad they were cold half the time

But I dont get the point of going to taco bell for quesadillas or chalupas when you can get great ones from any mexican restaurant for close same price

[-] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 3 points 2 months ago

creamy jalapeno sauce - that's a shit load of calories though holy SHIT

it's mayo, with a little jalapeño in it

But still, just straight mayo slathered onto a taco or burrito

[-] WhatDoYouMeanPodcast@hexbear.net 2 points 2 months ago

I am now second guessing myself for every time I've put kewpie mayo on stuff. The mayo has turned itself inwards towards me.

[-] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 2 points 2 months ago

Is that the stuff they use in their quesadillas. It's kind of the only thing I really miss there, but BDS has really saved me from some late-night binges.

Black bean crunchwrap supreme: $6.69.

Build your own veggie box: $6.99. Includes the crunchwrap, plus a taco, plus a side, plus a drink.

I know they're doing some kind of marketing psyop where they overprice the individual menu items to make it seem like a better deal but still.

badposting is a comm where you post badly


This is not a !the_dunk_tank@hexbear.net alternative. This is not a !memes@hexbear.net alternative. This is a place for you to post your bad posts.

Ever had a really shitty bit idea? Joke you want to take way past the point of where it was funny? Want to feel like a stand-up comedy guy who's been bombing a set for the past 30 minutes straight and at this point is just saying shit to see if people react to it? Really bad pun? A homemade cringe concoction? A cognitohazard that you have birthed into this world and have an urge to spread like chain mail?


Rules:

  1. Do not post good posts.
    • Unauthorized goodposting is to be punished in the manner of commenting the phrase "GOOD post" followed by an emoji that has not yet been used in the thread
    • Use an emoticon/kaomoji/rule-three-abiding ASCII art if the rations run out
  2. This is not a comm where you direct people to other people's bad posts. This is a comm where you post badly.
  3. This rule intentionally left blank.
  4. If you're struck for rule 3, skill issue, not allowed to complain about it.

Code of Conduct applies just as much here as it does everywhere else. Technically, CoC violations are bad posts. On the other hand: L + ratio + get ~~better~~ worse material bozo
