When Doritos are willing to be associated with Taco Bell but not you, you know you done made some poor life choices.

Before their prices skyrocketed, Taco Bell was great. Especially the dorrito tacos. My tongue still yearns for the Cool Ranch Taco. I could crush a party pack of 'em in one sitting. So good, and yet surprisingly was the time I weighed the least.

oh man you should have experienced the days of 49 cent tacos. Before other places had 99 cent items they were the bomb. I never thought I would kick my fast food addiction but turns out it just needed prices to become non paltry.

Same. Been almost a year for me.

Its been close to two or more I think for me. Pretty much its like we had that first bought of inflation and then I think mcdonalds had some contract pricing for eggs because all of a sudden their breakfast sandwiches were a good deal vs other fair. Taco bell sorta held the line with some stuff that was worthwhile but like the nacho fries when they came started being over a dollar and yeah it just became non paltry. Its sorta the same with the lottery. I could drop a buck here and there to dream but two dollars and even three dollars. Its not like I can't afford it but its no longer something I can just not think about expense wise. I pretty much would need to be making 150k or more and stably to be spending the way I used to.

it's because the feds are continuing their work towards elimination of artificial colorings from foods. the shit stain is just the president currently, it has nothing to do with the negative connotations of being the reference color for the shitstain's choice of spray tan.

But...it IS still Trump's fault the colors are different

[–] Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

I hate that we do this, self included: I have an orange shirt that I really liked before Trump started fucking our country up, but now the color orange just feels icky. Same with a scrub cap I used to wear at work pretty often: bright red with white outlines of tropical flowers (think Hawaiian shirt)... coworker mentioned it looked kind of like a MAGA hat, and it's been stuffed in the corner of my locker ever since - every time I catch a glimpse of that thing, all I see is a hate symbol now.

Clock...right...twice a day

I think this is the only good thing coming out of this admin, thus far.
