I decided to quit alcohol, coffee and sodas for one month starting today.

Wish me luck.

Got a gig tonight, 2x 45min sets plus possible encores. The place has a buffet and open bar which also applies to the band. Free food, free beer, 100ish euros and a chance to play some rock covers. Yes please.

Taco Bell is S-tier fast-food.

Depends what you order, but yeah, it can be excellent.

Also, they have one of the coolest marketing teams I've ever seen. Their Twitter is legendary, and their website is low-key hilarious. Seriously, check it out. The copywriting is fantastic.

Orange Juice
100% ORANGE COLORED SPHERE JUICE

Orange juice is delicious, particularly when it’s Tropicana® Orange Juice, but whoever decided to name this little nectar ball “orange” was either having a super lazy Friday or failed to create a very poorly thought-out naming mechanism for fruits.

If it was the latter, how many different fruits did they try to name before they realized there are simply way too few colors to keep it going. Eventually, some loud-mouthed agriculture department intern probably said “We could use shapes too”, which is another terrible idea since basically every fruit but a banana is spherical. At some point, they must have gotten to something like cantaloupe and were all like “What do you call this thing? How about uhh...an...off-white I guess? I don’t know, a beige? Ugh, this isn’t working."

They could have said "Yo, this is orange juice." But no, they actually wrote this. Got it approved by Taco Bell corporate, and published. Can't believe the meetings that probably happened before approval. It's a monumental achievement.

A place.
Taco Bell is the sub-prime mortgage of the fast food world. Great now, pay out the *** later.

And sometimes its worth it.

Sometimes.

Asterisks are mine, I needed to make that appear less literal and more metaphorical and failed horribly.

I've literally never even had an upset stomach from Taco Bell.

I am still bitter that there wasn't a TBell on campus at the U. Had to settle for McDonald's coming home from the bars every weekend :laugh:

I could actually do alcohol and sodas, but coffee would be where I draw the line. You're a brave man.

i ate from taco bell and now i have had horrible gas for about five hours

pls advice

Hopefully anything living in your vicinity survived. Best advice is to remember the pain you suffered the next time you think Taco Bell would be a good choice.

Cookout is//was my favorite go to after a few drinks. Unfortunately there are none in Calgary. There also is no Piggly Wiggly, but at least we have one Chick-Fil-A. But it doesn't have a full menu tho :(

But at least it is something.

Damn it, now I want Bojangles and Zaxby's as well :laugh:

Soda is easy for me to give up. Coffee I could: but I would need to find something else to wake me up. Alcohol I would cut you if you took it away :laugh: after doing Iraqistan and Afghaniland under military law (meaning no booze or porn) I have shown I can go without it. But why? :laugh: job is too stressful to do it willingly.

OMG Zaxby's. I miss the HELL out of that stuff up here. Caines is good. But Zaxby's was a whole other level.

I won't be happy until Lapa GDTs his first Taco Bell experience. We demand satisfaction.
