Taco Bell Accused of Promoting "Rape Culture" over Messages on Sauce Packets

Taco Bell is being accused of promoting "rape culture" by Twitter, Instagram, and Tumblr users because of their sauce packets.

The sauce packets at Taco Bell have included messages for years, including phrases such as, "Will you marry me." However, other phrases, such as "You know you want me," are raising the eyebrows of some social media users.

While most people assumed that the sauce packet is referring to the sauce itself, a number of people are accusing the fast food chain of perpetrating "rape culture."

Here are just a few examples:

You gotta pay extra for that in Vegas...

[FunkyZero]

what sort of twisted psyche does it take to see racial and sexual tones in everything that passes before your eyes?

[FourtySeven]

Seems family friendly to me.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

are raising the eyebrows of some social media users.

Who? Name names. Is it just some kid in his or her parents' basement? Any drunk can be a social media user. And yet an entire attack story is based on a reporter trolling the Internet for the one nut job who criticized this since if the reporter just wrote the story without some fig leaf of a factual basis, it would be an opinion piece.

Rape sauce? Jeeze, relax your sphincters, you mouthy idiots.

[a fool in paradise]

Do you read Vietnamese? Because believe it or not, that's what this says!

[Army Air Corps]

The stupid...it BURNS.

[SpaceBar]

“back of the bus”

[I want the USA back]

so will Taco Bell apologize to feminazis and give them all a free burrito?

[USMCPOP]

“Chomp our chimichangas.”

“Try the new Backside Burrito.”

[Newtoidaho]

Oh, aren’t these liberals/millenials such delicate little snowflakes. So precious.

[Slings and Arrows]

That’d take a mighty small font.

[upchuck]

More proof that there is a class of people who wake up every day just looking for the next thing to be offended about.

Yawwwwn... I'm deeply and permanently offended by that remark. We easily offended folks have feelings too.

[setha]

So that’s the contents of The 40lb Box?

You nailed it. Kids in their parents basement. It all stems from Tumblr. These kids get on there and make claims on literally everything. It all has tto be politically correct.... in their 13 year old minds. They use words like “Pansexual”, “Gender Binary” and such to relate to gay people. And if you say otherwise, you are a homophobe, racist, idiot. It’s so amazingly stupid that this even makes the news.

“Social Media users”, by and large, are fakes.
Soros has some sort of algorithm that makes 5 or 6 people appear to be thousands.

[Buckeye McFrog]

hmmm....I thought Bill Clinton used to hit Mickey D’s for those quarter-pounders.

If “You asked for it” is promoting rape then why is “Get ‘er done” not? Or is that the same as “creepy assed cracker” isn’t racist but the dreaded n-word is. It’s not the words but who is allowed to say it and to twist it into something it never was like “gay.”

Sticks and stones. Cartoons offend a large portion of the world.
