Nat Christiana Drove His Friends 965 Miles to Get Special Taco Bell Taco

This HAS to be just a bad attempt at clever marketing, right?

NO ONE could be this crazy. Gas money alone would make it ridiculous:

friarbolt · 03-14-2012, 01:16 PM

Well the commercial is certainly not actual footage whether it's real or not. But yeah totally fake and stupid, why would they think this is a good idea? Nobody will believe it and even if it turns out to be real just makes the guy look really stupid. 1000 miles for a Taco Bell taco? Riiiiiight....

wouldnt say it couldnt be true. ppl do very dumb things. look at harold and kumar

. all that for a white castle burger

fm8418 · 03-14-2012, 04:14 PM

I drove like 1 mile to get them. They were tested in my area for the last 1-2 years.

deboesports · 03-14-2012, 04:16 PM

i got one yesterday for the first time. it was good, made my fingers a cheesy mess, lol i would have liked to see this as a spicy Doritos taco.

Anderdale · 03-14-2012, 04:30 PM

the doritos taco is not even that great? tastes just like a normal hard taco to me.

kajshack · 03-14-2012, 04:54 PM

I live in a T-Bell test market, so I get to try all of their nasty sh!t before the rest of the country. The Doritos Taco was a big deal here when they first came out last year but it didn't live up to the hype. It's okay.

People were driving from other states when In-N-Out opened here in TX. For those of you who don't know it's a burger place usually only found in CA.

That's another thing that I don't get. Maybe I'm spoiled because there's one down the street from my house and I can walk there whenever I want, but I don't get the obsession. I mean, it's good and all, but it's not "drive to another state" good.

chipmaster · 03-14-2012, 05:30 PM

Did they put the part in the video where they're stopping every 120 miles to take a #@#@#@#@, because they're eating dog food grade beef?

Taco Bell=Fail

I love in-n-out. Though it just nothing special for me since I can always eat it. Though its 100x better then McDonalds!

This was the first thing that came to mind but their "journey" was only like 30 miles.

And Arizona...

dachman · 03-14-2012, 07:30 PM

It's nothing all that special anyways IMO

37Jetson · 03-14-2012, 07:52 PM

I had a Doritos Taco and thought it was fantastic. Chances are the next time I try one, it will suck.

Um.......no

mmbtvs · 03-14-2012, 08:01 PM

I drove 382 miles for a pizza once.

fm8418 · 03-14-2012, 08:06 PM

I went 240 miles for steak and shrimp cocktail last week.

If the fast food is just now scaring you then there might be other issues. You never go into FF thinking it's good or healthy. It just tastes good and is convenient,

It was really good. I don't remember the toppings because it was a daily special and not on the normal menu, but here is a link to the place. I was living in Connecticut at the time.
