Taco Bell Accused of Promoting "Rape Culture" over Messages on Sauce Packets
Pundit Press ^ | 6/9/15 | Aurelius

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:

I know I will get yelled at, but this is for real. My hot sauce just said “BJ Klinton” on it.
Lost my appetite.

Gallagher couldn’t do that today. Someone would intentionally sit their special little snowflake in the raincoat section and sue because snowflake was allergic to watermelons.

You realize that Sriracha is made in California USA, don’t you? :-)

I’ve always thought the Asian characters on it were just bogus.

I’m sure they are not offended by “gay” comments like:
“Mustard Sucks”
“For Your Face”
or “Sauce for the Big One”

Indeed. I guess they’ll have to find a new name for a “taco”

Those little sauce packs are silly. I use about 20 on a single bean burrito.

It’s so amazingly stupid that this even makes the news.

Yet another reason I don't watch television news anymore. Youtube videos and facebook posts and tweets are not big news items. I don't go to the tv to watch the internet.

The issue is never the issue.

The issue is always the revolution.

Offering them a “free burrito” is the same thing as raping them...

I want a Taco Bell package that says, “First, I will stalk you until I know every one of your habits, then I will chloroform you, and tie you up in the back of my van where I will transport you to my basement that is set up for subjugating and raping women. I will proceed to do so for the next 48 hours, using every possible orifice for my gratification, until I tire of you, and kill you.”

Yes, Sir. Would you like to add a fried pie?

I think the millenials should be changed to the “perpetually offended” generation.

This generation is that generation.

Matthew 11:16-19

16 But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like unto children sitting in the markets, and calling unto their fellows,
17 And saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned unto you, and ye have not lamented.
18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a devil.
19 The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified of her children.

Matthew 24:10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.

Offended = skandalizo (scandalized)

He hath a devil

The Photoshoppers among us need to make one that says “I’d Hit It” for Lazamataz.

Too late. McDonald's tried that already.

I need a case of these - then while driving around Texas, I am going to discreetly distribute these at local Taco Bells!
