You know, it's like, they're like, talk about menu is like, hey, what if we took a taco?

And then we pumped it with stuff.

What if we took a taco and then we salted it?

Yes.

What if we took a taco and then we covered it in melted cheese?

Taco Bell's marketing strategy is paying middle school kids to go into a convenience store

and telling them to buy whatever they want and then say when they put it on a talk

when they come out they're like thanks and they take all the things that they bought and they

bring them into the lab and they put it on a conveyor belt yeah they pay the kids a thousand

dollars each they say thank you for the next 15 years of our business.

Taco Bell's branding is the kid in middle school who always wore a hoodie even in summer.
