QuoteTwo commonly ridiculed "junk" foods — the Doritos chip and the Taco Bell taco — are being rolled into one. In this case, one plus one might not equal two. For Taco Bell, it may equal millions of dollars in incremental sales. The year has hardly begun, but there's already industry chatter about the Doritos-laced taco emerging as one of the nation's top new products this year.
I can hear Jabba the Hut laughing in the back of my mind.

What's really shocking is that this didn't happen earlier.
Kudos for acknowledging the wants of their primary consumer base: stoners.
"Man, we're out of Doritos. Maybe we should go for, like, Taco Bell or something..."
"Dude, have I got great news for you!"

Can you imagine how long the drive-thru will be now? And how high the Taco Bell employees will be after dozens of people have offered shrooms and pot as payment because their wallets were transported to another dimension by glowing elitist warrior cockroaches?

I almost wish I still worked there (yes, I have done time in just about every major fast food chain), so I could witness the hilarity.
This is a testing region, so that's been out here for a good two or three months. I hear it's ok tasting.

Any noticeable side-effects in the area? People covered in doritos dust or with orange handprints on their black pants, etc?
I like the idea of it, if I could buy the shells and make it myself. Or, that is, buy the shells and have my wife make the tacos. That way, at least I know the quality of the meat being used. A Cool Ranch Taco might be pretty darned tasty!

Not really, but nothing short of toxic sludge will have noticeable side effects here.

Well if this has been going on for a few months in your area, I'd avoid the sewers.
