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.
Inhappy Monday, everyoneFlorida, 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, dont we?
Some how I can not consider burning the lining of my mouth to be part of the joy of eating. I use the green (Jalapeno) Tabasco Sauce and banana peppers, the less hot yellow ones because they add flavor as well as a little heat. Spicy is fine (for me); hot is not.
But if you enjoy it hot, feel free!
A singing commercial from maybe the 60s:
"For fifteen cents, a nickel and a dime
at Burger Chef you'll eat better every time."
Nice. I used to hit the McDonald’s near the store where I took guitar lessons.
Burger, fries, Coke - all that and change back from $1.
Probably about 1971.
Good one!!!
Burgerville, USA in the Portland/Vancouver area in the early 70’s 19 cents for a burger, 29 cents for a cheeseburger...
Get a burger, shake, and fries for less than $1.
Five Guys today - $8.65 for a bacon cheeseburger.
So I went for the regular cheeseburger, no bacon. Still, $7.65. Yes, even more than the greasy cheeseburger I had at the 50’s place last Friday.
Large cup of fries? $4.99 - just those two items were over $13 with tax - maybe it was $14.
At the 50’s place, two large double-cheeseburgers, large tater tots, small fry, small drink and BIG Coke (burp) - $15.99.
That same meal at Five Guys would have been $23 or $25.
wow
