    As someone who went to a school named after the real inventor of the telephone, I have to inform you that he stole it from a German guy called Phillip Reis who himself had inspirations but let’s not talk about that

    I’m torn between joking that the EBDB BnB wouldn’t be created for about 100 years or pointing out that both of his brothers died from TB 100 years before Taco Bell was established.

    And just Ftr, Taco John’s is the superior franchise. Fight me.

      The taco johns around me lasted less than a year open before closing down. They universally fucked up every single order; great tacos if you were feeling lucky though. For some reason they closed at 10pm too, just weird for fast food tacos to not be open for late night stoners

        The meat and potato burrito and oles were worth their weight in gold.

        Kinda not surprised though. Many franchise owners struggle to find decent workers bc they don’t like paying them or offering humane conditions.

      Taco Johns is inferior mexican food, doesn’t even deserve to be called mexican food.

      But they serve the best fucking potatoes ever.
