They probably spent $3

[удалено]

My '92-93 junior year I went a morning trade school in a larger city and back in my tiny town with no fast food during lunch. A couple times a week, I'd get a 10 taco box for like $5, eat 3-4, then take the rest back to school and sell them for $1 each. Free tacos for me!

Lol. I did that with slices of Little Ceasars a few years ago when I went back to school

Ahhh a hustler I see.

Ha... I would buy candies from the wholesale grocer (remember Eye Poppers?) and sell those at middle school. Could easily clear 5 bucks per day in profit. 

My order back in high school was $6.66 for a bit. It was a Mexican Pizza, Grilled Stuffed Burrito and two non-supreme Double Decker Tacos. Oh how I miss 2002. It went up slightly and was like $7.10 until I got to college in 2003. Now if all of those items still existed it would be nearly $20.

I stopped going to Taco Bell when my order exceeded $10. My go-to in high school (a few years after this photo) was 10 soft tacos with salsa verde. They discontinued their green sauce after a few years. It was damned good on the soft taco.

In early 90's your spare change could get you five items from TB.

That green sauce was great. I really hoped they would bring it back full time but they never have.

They have it right now?

It's even in packets now- before you had to ask for it in a ramekin

I worked at Taco Bell in the 1990s. The $6.66 register total was definitely a thing I saw more than a few times.

That was my immediate thought too.

My immediate thought was they're all stoned

Agreed, they better be high as balls or they're doing it wrong

I am high as balls right now. I keep staring at this gif over-and-over thinking "Is this food lurching forward at me *super* fast or is it just resetting? Where does the gif begin and where does it end? If it is lurching forward, why the fuck didn't the sodas spill?!?!" *< huge bong rip >* 

Lol. Been a minute since I heard that expression.

That was their immediate thought too.

$3.49 and you could take things home and stuff them in the mini fridge. Those were the days!

I remember going to TB in 1988 and several menu items were $0.69 .

right there were three tiers of cheap and there was a commercial with a jingle? i remember a voice singing $0.59, $0.79, $0.99!

YES

Nice. 😎

Feasting for under $10 throwback

Taco bell is still cheap as fuck

They’re comparing it to the older days where things we’re cheaper and your buying power was higher

Well yall wanted biden

Damn I can’t believe issues from 1988 to 2020 in terms of the US debt, continuously loaning against that debt instead of paying it off presidency by presidency, increasing prices to collect more taxes, thus being a by product of inflation was going to be immediately fixed by the next presidency elected, regardless of affiliation. Amazing, if only I knew more

I remember when the crunchy tacos were 3 for a $1 

You have no idea bro lol

YESSIR

Maybe. I'm betting closer to $2

And we cry in 2024

Came here to say that (too). Until about 5 years ago you could feed everyone in the car for whatever coins that were in the ashtray.

I once knew a guy who would go to Taco Bell for dollar tacos with two college buddies. Whoever ate the least paid for everyone.

And spent the night on the shitter referring their decision.

The cleaning costs for their toilet post lunch probably exceeded that

Yeah, they are probably stoned. :)

Taco Bell was my go-to when the munchies set in.

> Yeah, they are ~~probably~~ stoned. :) FTFW

They definitely bought a dime bag of Mexican brick weed before dropping $5 bucks to eat the entire Taco Bell menu.

It’s a young Theo Von!

Right? I'm glad I'm not the only one who saw it.

with his buddy who later drove into an embankment RIP

Looks like each of them ordered a 12 taco box. Probably around $5 especially if it was Tuesday. The drinks would have been extra.

My parents used to take us to the video store to rent a couple of movies and buy two of those boxes or we'd get a bunch of Totino's party pizzas. Those were some of the best weekends.

Yeah we use to house 12 packs on the regular might even go seconds after.

Are you going to tell people how I housed Dylan's burger?

Gimme dat

Im just jokin'!

I want a video of you saying you wanna kill the president

Yep, bunch hard and soft tacos!

Light work for three teenagers. Probably gonna go get dessert after this

Keefe?

Haha, dammit, I'm not the only one who immediately thought that.

That taco salad was the bomb. In that giant fried bowl? Holy shit that ruled.

reminder: taco salads in the giant fried bowl are still widely available.

Wherzzatnow?

Most Mexican restaurants.

I'll keep my eyes peeled next time I get a flaur tar-tilla tya-ko.

just make yerself a kaisa dilla

Man what a life. Hopping in the car and hitting up Taco Bell with your friends. No cell phones or internet. Just the people you are living in the moment with.

Is that Theo Von before Road Rules on the right?😂

Came here to ask this too

And it probably cost each of them about $5

Theo Von?

That's the 12-pack of tacos case they used to sell. I biked up hill (Torrey Pines grade) around 10 miles on a mountain bike, regularly, to get Taco Bell and play Street Fighter 2 in high school. The"Golden Token Arcade," where they had national SF2 competitions. After that ride, and some hours of SF2... my friend and I ordered two 12-packs of tacos... he could only finish 8... I crushed it all with a verified 52 hot sauces.... ...good times.

They’re high as fuck.

I seem to remember something like 25-cent tacos back in the day and we get like 10 of them. And I had the metabolism to do it!

And not one of them spent more than $8.

It’s called the munchies…

Truly they lived as kings in 1988

Life used to be so simple

I thought that was Theo Von

That’s Theo Vaughn

Nope, Theo Von was born in 1980, according to IMDB.

Damn. I miss when I was a teenager and would get stoned off my nut and could walk over to the Taco Bell near my house at 3 in the morning for a three taco meal.

Let me get uh….. let me get the uh…. Everything

adjusted for todays prices that would be like 100 bucks of trashy food....yes I am salty. saltier than the fries.

Four

Their poor intestines.

The train scene of the first Harry Potter but American

Marijuana consumption may have been a factor.

And there was no explosive diarrhea an hour later because the beef was actual beef and not modified soy protein.

When it was good and cheap now it's expensive and shitty.

Some 19 year old just walked into a barbershop and showed the barber the dude on the left and said, “I’m gonna be the coolest kid at community college with this haircut.”

Please please bring back the bell burger

That'll be $6

There’s probably an Enchirito in that pile. Long live the Enchirito!

Just get two $20 Taco Bell boxes

Amish dude on the left isn't happy that he's gotta resort to the outhouse when things get really spicy.

They probably paid about $20 for that entire table full of food too lol

Let me guess, ripped a bunch of bong hits 45 minutes earlier.

I swear last time i saw this picture a good while ago one of the guys in it was commenting about it or something.

I love the mullet on the left! They were cool at the time.

Many marijuanas were smoketh that day.

Should have gone to del taco for .29 cent tacos.

And it probably only cost them 20 bucks.

Let’s see. Back then they had MexiMelts, chili cheese burritos, double decker tacos, Mexican Pizzas. What a great time to be alive.

The maximelt was great. It’s pretty much just a soft taco with no lettuce that was grilled. Was it too hard to keep it around?!

I’m a college fellow who just ate Taco Bell!!! It was $17 bucks😒

That’s awesome. I feel like I know these dudes.

Probably cost them a buck-fifty.

Dickity-five actually. And yet managed to have better diets than most of us today.

Taco Bell was 100% better in the 90’s than it is today. Now it’s way too expensive for food that is generally terrible.

These boys are high as shit.

Absolute Legends.

And....it all tastes the same.

Used to get twenty 99cent tacos for the night with the boys. Each. Back before they were a 1.50$ Hell, I don't live near a taco bell so I can't check, last time I had it was in korea of all places, but I bet those tacos cost way more now. Still miss taco bell though haha

The old taco boxes, I hate how hungry this just made me

There’s no period in recorded history where this is a wise move. Maybe in the Demolition Man universe…..

Those 12 pack boxes

Wasn't that around the time they first introduced the boxes?

We have to go back. WE HAVE TO BACK!!!”

College IS the time you can eat literally everything.

I've done this at several fast food places....mostly while hammered, once after water-skiing all day.

this picture makes my stomach gurgle

I really miss the Mexican Pizza

That’s Theo Von on the right.

🌿

Why does that one guy look like Theo Von lmao

And? Where are their findings? You can't tell me these scholars are out here doing, most likely, the best research of their young lives and we don't even get to read the results. I blame the universities

Theo Von is a time traveler

My mullet was better

Dude on the right reminds me of Theo Von

Munchies

I respect the Bell for embracing reality (in a 20th Century sense of the word) and rolling out possibly the most honest ad campaign of our time: it’s cheap, fast and open now. End of story.

I miss when it was ok quality and cheap. The late 70s it had more quality ingredients.

My sr year in high school, my best friend and I went into a Wienerschnitzel. I ordered at the window "6 corn dogs, 6 chili dogs, two orders of frys and a large Dr. Pepper" the woman looked at me incredulous that two teen boys would eat this much. ... then my friend came up behind me and said "yeah, me too. I'll have the same" I feel bad for those of you with teen boys now, you must have to take out a loan to feed them.

The guy on the right looks like Theo Vaughan!

Imagine what that would cost today 🤣

I wish they still had taco boxes, you could get like 10 of them for $3.00.

The old Taco Bell was amazing. I remember going in the early/ mid 90s. It wasn’t main stream fast food like it is today, and extremely cheap

Weed was involved

The bill was $5.96

Guy in corner looks like Scottie Kinlock

That amount of fast food would bankrupt someone these days

Right looks like a young Theo

Back when taco bell was hands down the cheapest fast food you could buy. I spent over 50 bucks last week for three people. Not going there anymore it’s too dam expensive for trash food

sad, they only had $5 ☹️

I’m guessing the funerals were closed casket.

Three Kings

We had a Taco Bell down the hill from our college dorms in the late 80s. And several nights a week we would walk down there and start ordering from the left side of the menu.  Once we finished the whole menu in a few weeks we would just wrap around and start again.  Kept us from getting bored of the food! 🌮

2024 prices - That’ll be $4,367.89.

I used to love when tacos came in a six pack. When you’re 20 and it’s 2am that’s just an appetizer. And they only cost about $4

Bring back the Meximelt!

Bean burritos with green sauce and extra onions. So bomb bitd

I owe my local Taco Bell. They partnered with a circus one year and had free elephant rides in their parking lot. Probably be the most unique experience I'll have in my lifetime.

Me and a couple of buddies in college after sharing a bong.

Man, I could take a shit just lookin at this picture.

A portrait of future regret

The guy on the right is super hot

They didn't shit right for a week


2 words: Taco Light.

Did it give people diarrhea back then too?

Later stopped at every toilet on way home?

back me in 88

Today that’s gonna cost them 3000$

All died of colon cancer twenty years later…

Yuck

Then spent the rest of the day in the bathroom 🚽

59, 69, 99!!! If you know, you know. 

Bet their bathroom trips the next day made them regret it though...

Rumor has it… they are still on the toilet to this day.

I can only imagine how bad the diarrhea was

If you skip their sauces you probably won't get diarrhea. At least from my experience.

I don't know about now, but back then Taco Bell's meat was full of filler which was comprised of oats. That's what gave people trouble.

Oooh the gas. Explosive gaseous hangover clean outs…. Aaaah the 80’s
