Taco Bell hot sauce saves another life
The Takeout ^ | March 18, 2019 | Gwen Ihnat

A few weeks ago, we were shocked to hear that a man survived for five days by eating nothing but Taco Bell hot sauce packets (resulting in his getting Taco Bell free for a year). This started us on the path to thinking that Taco Bell hot sauce was magical. And now, in light of another hot-sauce life-saving measure, we think we may be on to something.

In—happy Monday, everyone—Florida, a man was sitting down at a Taco Bell in Winter Haven when he decided to get up from his seat to procure more hot sauce. Mere seconds later, an elderly man crashed through the front of that Taco Bell with his car, hitting the table where the hot-sauce-retrieving customer had sat just moments before.

Hot sauce comes between customer and car in Taco Bell crash, police say https://on.wtsp.com/2F9Ixjm

WTSP in Tampa reports: “Police said a customer who was in the restaurant where the car crashed into the building had just left that area to get hot sauce.” The driver of the SUV was a 77-year-old man who thought the vehicle was in reverse, when he hit the accelerator and was in drive instead.

Although the building has significant damage, police say that no one was hurt, and we all know who (or what) to thank for that, don’t we?

Did a semester of NOLS in the early nineties. Your post is indeed true. Lived off bouillon for the last two days of one of our journeys (not by choice but youthful foolish indulgence of rations for the first three days). Cheers

Yep. Get him a nice home, totally fenced, guards, etc and live nice.
They’ll hold his tax share out before he gets any.

Taco Bell? Hot Sauce? ROTFLOL!

In college I would call it mild sauce, and I once drank packages of it to show how mild it was. That was back when Lyle Lovett said not to eat Mexican food north of Dallas. As far as I was concerned the line should have been drawn at San Antonio.

We burned our remaining food the night before we left on the ‘Survial Mission’. NOLS stopped calling it that later because the locals envisoned us chasing after bighorns with our ice axes.

"Best thing I've ever heard or known about Taco Bell..."

You young, wipper-snapper. You do not know that Taco Bell used to have their internal gas flame out front at their concrete benches.

Then Jimia Carter ordered the fire to be turned off in the mid 70's.

Louisana
Tabasco

Peppers/salt/vinegar
No other additives or preservative whatsoever.

I make my own as well and it’s pretty good.

“A few weeks ago, we were shocked to hear that a man survived for five days by eating nothing but Taco Bell hot sauce packets”

Up until a week ago, I went 10 days drinking water and black coffee...not too hard either. So what’s the big deal here.

Exactly! Their ‘hot sauce’ is only slightly spicy.

If it were Hillary, she would have been run over because she would have procured the Hot Sauce from her Purse.
