LPT: Consider carefully what activities you have planned for the next 6-12 hours before you go out to eat at Taco Bell or similar restaurant

Submitted by PeteyMcPetey t3_ygqvbv in LifeProTips

Real-life example: I volunteered to help load/unload furniture for a family moving into the neighborhood early in the morning. Unfortunately I went out the night before and ended up having too much late-night Taco Bell before going home and going to bed.

The next morning I was unpleasantly surprised that lifting heavy things was progressively getting more and more uncomfortable, until it became downright unbearable.

No complaints about Taco Bell. I love it and will continue to eat it. Just know that with many wonderful things in life, there can sometimes be a heavy price to pay if you're not careful.

What’s the connection between Taco Bell and your inability to lift things?

I loves me some Taco Bell. Have eaten it all through the years but the last three or four years I just usually order a bean burrito with lettuce and mild sauce.

Simple, satisfying. . . Taco Bell.

Is that joke serious? About Taco Bell and other mexican food literally giving people diarrhea? Even when I used to eat fast food, I didn't literally get the squirts from having a burrito. I don't think that's normal dude - you should probably not eat that stuff if it does that to you

There's a chance any food will do that to you. For some reason, Taco Bell is just a bit more well-known for it.

Will that stop me? Absolutely not. Taco Bell for life!

Am I advocating preparation in the event you react badly to a particular burrito? Yes. As the Boy Scouts taught me, Be Prepared.

No, diarrhea doesn't just randomly happen with some foods. Most likely you have a gastric disorder like IBS. Time to go to the doc

Nope, Taco Bell just strikes sometimes.

You didn't say taco bell. This ^ isn't normal, in the slightest

Had what I believe was my last Taco Bell yesterday. It just tasted funny and I can cook better burger, chuck roast and can slice vegetables up too.
I will prolly still stop in and get some cinnamon twists and coffee in the mornings, but am through eating that funky meat they serve.

I never ate Chipotle, they sound good, one is open in my town now, but still, fast food meats are often lacking in deliciiousness, And I am a good cook, so I can usually do better. cheaper and less tummy rumblies.

No, you're just clearly inexperienced.

It's not a question of "if" Taco Bell will strike a consumer, but rather a question of "when".

This one really made me laugh! But it's so true. The older I get, the worse reaction I get from fast food. Last time I had Taco Bell, I took some Mylanta with it, and I was still in pain, so no more Taco Bell
