Taco Bell nearly killed me.

Don't worry about the syntax here as there are plenty of posters here who don't either.

No advices here, I suck at interviews. Good luck.

Not "advices," advice.

you sure about that, steven?

I get annoyed by grammatical and punctuation errors. When I make the same sort of mistakes, I feel quite badly. I'm not perfect. But I have a grammar book in my bathroom. I read it while by bowel moves. To talk about constipation literally...

I've never eaten at Taco Bell.

Don't have any intentions to ever eat there.

This I had for lunch around 1325 hours yesterday. By 1530 hours, I felt sick to my stomach and I remembered all the jokes about Taco Bell and how it gives diarrhea.

My post should not be construed as advocating for eating at Taco Bell, but your "incubation time" is extraordinarily short for a foodborne illness obtained at Taco Bell. When taking food histories during an outbreak, it is common for people to assume that it was their most recent meal that made them sick. It is also common to assume it was the most recent meal eaten at a restaurant, rather than considering that they may have mishandled food at home. I'm not saying you made either of these assumptions, only that you should consider a bigger picture when trying to determine the cause of your illness...

I hope you feel better soon!

PS As someone who has seen the inside of MANY restaurant kitchens, I LOVE LOVE LOVE Chipotle. All stainless, all hot, and nearly all visible from the front counter. If you have one in your area, you should try it!

I've never had any problems at Taco Bell before, and we eat there every two weeks or so.

I like their sauce, what can I say.

I avoid Taco He11...have no clue what the meat-like substance in their tacos is Del Taco is better in that category. But I much prefer places like Chipotle, Baja Fresh and Rubio's.

after having real tacos I will never go to Taco Bell again... although I never really went there often anyways...

[Nik+Heather 121]

We had some coupons for Del Taco, and I found the food to be mushy and flavorless.

I love love love Taco Bell. But I agree, given the calories/fat content involved, it would probably kill me if I ate there more than the infrequent once every month or two frequency.

Meh I don't care, I get food from taco vans, the local hole in the wall, and taco bell. I haven't died yet.

Taco Bell is the only fast food place that isn't terrible here! Everywhere serves their damn food cold and nasty. I guess it's for the best it means I keep on top of our cooking better. Even the chain restaurants are doing badly here, like they have all scaled back too much, so every now and then we just buy better quality fresh food and cook it ourselves...no disappointment that way.

We used to go to Subway a fair bit but it tastes so much nicer to make it yourself. There's one thing that I really love over here and that's the quality/taste of deli meats

I have heard many stories about adverse effect of dining at Taco Bell, especially to one's vowel. I never believed it. Yesterday I bought Taco Bell's vegetarian salad which was basically beef salad without the beef. There was unholy looking shredded tortilla, shredded lettuce, rice, bean, and some cheese. All of it was served on a big taco shell with whipping cream, salsa. I opted for their hot sauce.

The taco shell tasted bitter and felt like industrial plastic like the kinds one finds in chemical labs. Everything else was okay except the salsa, which was very liquid-like with big chunks of tomatoes. This I had for lunch around 1325 hours yesterday. By 1530 hours, I felt sick to my stomach and I remembered all the jokes about Taco Bell and how it gives diarrhea. It all started to make sense then. I spend the entire evening lying down on my bed with my stomach making a weird growling sound. It's still making the same sound except I don't have to run to the restroom now.

The worst is over, I hope. I will never, ever go near a Taco Bell again. Neither should you.

If it happens within 2 hours its usually food poisoning.. very common...
