Taco Bell’s new dollar menu.

Taco Bell is known for a lot of things.  Specifically, acceptable Mexican food at cheap prices done with a creative twist.  From Taco Bell’s faux street tacos to the legitimate hit that is the Doritos Locos Taco, The Bell is riding a winning streak right now, but the menu can always get more creative, the food cheaper, the volume turned up even higher.  To that extent, Taco Bell is getting a new value menu.  Gone is the Why Pay More Menu and replacing it will be the $1 Cravings Menu.

“Our $1 Cravings Menu just went into test in two markets, and pending final results, will launch nationally in the near future,” said Taco Bell spokesman.  “At Taco Bell, our value menu is our entire menu.  So when consumers are looking for what they get for what they pay – whether it be Fresh Mex with our Cantina Bell Menu, signature beverages or snacks with our Happier Hour Menu, or a dollar menu with our $1 Cravings Menu – Taco Bell can’t be beat.”

The new menu will have an impressive 12 menu items, some of which are brand new stuff like the beefy cheesy burrito, spicy beef mini quesadilla, spicy potato soft taco, shredded chicken mini quesadilla and beef crunchito.  I’m not sure what a beef crunchito is, but hopefully there won’t be any beef controversies coming from the new menu.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
