Taco Bell is a dietary staple for T and me.  I suppose you could say that Taco Bell is a dietary staple for most people under the age of 30.  Right?  I don’t know what they put in the food that makes it so damn good.  Oh wait…yes I do…it’s the fat, chemicals, and melted cheesy goodness.  It may quite possibly be my favorite fast food restaurant and everyone knows it’s fo sho T’s favorite fast food restaurant on the face of the Earth.  The small town that T and I are from just re-built their T-Bell.  It was a pretty big deal.  Unfortunately, they built a T-Bell/KFC combo.  Seriously, stick to one thing that you’re good at instead of branching into two things that you’re only kinda good at. 

Anyway…

The last time we we at Taco Bell, T tried out the new Big Bell Box.  He always tries to go for the largest item on the menu at Taco Bell.  He was on a half pound burrito kick for a while, but now he has a new love.  The Taco Bell Big Bell Box can be purchased for a LOW $4.99!  For $4.99-you get the following items:

• Queso CrunchWrap
• Crunchy Taco
• Bean Burrito
• Cinnamon Twists
• and a drink

Whew…that’s a lot of stuff for $4.99.  What is our society coming to?  And how can Taco Bell sell their food for so cheap?!  Yet another reason to love them. 

Here’s a pic of the handy carrying case that this massive meal comes in:

On the top right of the box it says:  Objects in box are as large as they appear.  Nice.

While we’re at it lets take a look at the calorie count for this meal.  In case you were possibly thinking about ingesting one of these beasts:

You can look up this info on Tacobell.com.  They have the items listed singly as if listing them by themselves makes you feel better about eating it.  Like if you don’t see the ungodly total calories, you can pretend that it doesn’t exist.  Everyone knows that you will eat all or most of it. 

So let’s add up all those healthy, nutritious, organic, calories…

*drumroll please*

1,370 calories (not including a drink)!  Whoa!  1,670 calories with a drink!  The average woman should only consume about 1400-1600 calories in an entire day! 

But…truth be told I could probably consume everything in that box if I was Really hungry.  Sad…I know. 

I do have to give Taco Bell credit for adding a little humor to the mix.  There’s nothing like laughter coming from a bunch of young, fat asses stuffing their faces with tacos.  If you’re a T-Bell fan you know that they have added the funny little sayings to the sauce packets, like “The sporks pick on me at night,” and other silly things like that. 

Well the Big Box is no exception.  I had to laugh and knew that I’d be blogging about it after T pointed it out to me.  And since I’m sure that all of you are organic, health foodies who never EVER eat fast food, I knew that you would never get to see it.  What a sad and long, healthy life you’ll lead.  Suckers!

This ‘warning’ is printed on the side of the box:

It made me laugh and worry for Americas health all at the same time.  There’s nothing like adding a little humor to make you completely forget about the massive amount of calories you just consumed. 

Speaking of massive calorie consumption…I’m getting hungry.  And I think I hear a Supreme Hard Shell Taco calling my name.
