human jet propulsion - who would have known ?
just nip in to your local taco bell, load up on salads - and in 45mins you're good to go.

i do however forsee a few challenges related to emission control regulations

Taco Bell is starting to sound less like a restaurant chain and more like a term to describe the body's realisation that an explosive diarrhoea ordeal is officially underway.

Long before ever reaching the worst gas station toilet in the land, Chad's taco bell had already been rung loud and clear.

Caused by some dodgy lettuce from Mexico apparently.

Dodgy lettuce ...... or contaminated water use to clean the lettuce?

Dodgy lettuce ...... or contaminated water use to clean the lettuce?

In some circumstances it could be both.

Actually 2,4,5,6,8 are correct. That is how poop moves out the best when you do a number two. You just need something to support your feet.

Looks suspiciously like Canada should be sharing their numbers as well.

Taylor Farms Spent Big on MAGA and Anti-Regulatory Lobbying Before Diarrhea Outbreak

The company donated more than $3.6 million to conservative groups between 2020 and 2025, including $1 million to the MAGA Inc. super PAC.

Like many corporate giants, Taylor Farms has also spent big on lobbying related to industry regulation. In early 2025, it hired lobbyists at the firm Sidley Austin to advocate on behalf of the company on “regulation of food safety,” according to disclosure documents. Since then, the company has spent $810,000 on its lobbying efforts.

Marion Nestle, a food policy expert, said that Taylor Farms’ donations are part of a wider problem in the American food industry: that multibillion-dollar companies use their financial resources to push policies that would reduce food safety regulation and accountability when outbreaks occur.
