You obviously don't dump 4+ packets of fire sauce on your 5 layer burrito.

That is not true, unless you are talking about different products (not existing on other markets).
Big Macs, Whoppers, KFC chicken burgers, Dunkin Donuts, Starbucks Sausage Rolls, etc are the same at least in NYC, Paris, HK, Tokyo, Seoul, Berlin, LA, Beijing, Sydney, Moscow. In the other hand, yes the exclusive french Raclette burger tastes different from the shrimp tempura burger.

Y'all make it sound like people worldwide don't enjoy questionable fast food. (And don't get me started about the atrocity that is Japanese pizza.)

Are there pics of the line for the bathroom at Japanese Taco Bell?

I'm used to ordering at places like In-&-Out, Habit, California Fish Grill.
Even more mainstream fast food places like Wendy's have more coherent menu layouts. The Taco Bell I went to had number splattered everywhere in different font sizes, combos here, items in between, etc.

Oh well, the first time a big fast food chain arrived in my town (McD) people waited in line like it was the second coming, road circulation was horrible around the block. Italy here, land of homemade pizza street food, cheap and available everywhere. Funny thing is: McD is everywhere, I'm sure they all ate there previously, there's another one in 30 km. It's something about having their own McD I guess.
I still can't have dinner there, I tried it out couple times at lunch but it's packed at dinner time, you gotta wait in line. Like, I'm not waiting in line at McD wtf if I had 30 minutes I'd cooked something at home...

It's the same line.
For as weird as Japanese pizza chains are, they have nailed authentic pizza.
They need to start doing that in the US. At least Taco Johns has Potato Oles as a side item. A smaller, lesser taco is NOT a side item in a combo meal.

So weird how taco bell is associated with getting the shits. Ya'll got some weak stomachs, or what?
That conflicts with my subjective experience. A burger from McDonalds in Greece tasted vastly different than here in Canada, as did the fries. I actually preferred the taste of the Greek McDonalds food.

Or maybe there's something wrong with Taco Bell?
Personally I was more disposed to puking.

I have never had a problem with shitting and taco bell.
You guys have some weak stomachs.

KFC is pretty popular in Japan. People preorder KFC family meals for Christmas.
There's also an urban myth, Curse of the Colonel, where a statue of the Colonel (every store in Japan has one) was tossed into a river after the Hanshin Tigers won The Japan Championship Series in 1985. After that happened, the Tigers went on an 18 year losing streak.
Lol it might be much better in other countries. I've heard Japanese McDonald's is way better than US McDonald's.
they have a few exclusive items and seasonal items but, other than that, not really.

I hope the Taco Bell in Japan tastes better than the one here. It wouldn't be worth waiting in that long line if it tasted like the ones here that oddly can give me stomach aches once in a while.

It's mostly the same tasting when I've had it, the only difference is some of the exclusive menu items
From Singapore, I can tell you that KFC's chicken tastes vastly different in US (I prefer Singapore's by the way).
All burgers tastes better in US though, better beef.
Having our last Taco Bell in Singapore closed several years ago, when I went to the US, I had Taco Bell there.
Oh my god, was it terrible, this is not what I expected. I don't remember it tasting this bad in Singapore.
Side note, Japan's McDonalds just closed down 100+ stores.. They are really struggling to compete the past few years.

pip pip cheerio you slags!
The taco bell hate in this thread is revolting.

Considering there are a lot of pizza places in Japan where the owner or chefs have actually studied in Italy must say that they do make some good stuff and you can tell take pride in what they make.
Does not seem like it the menu is quite "bare" in comparison to the US one anyways.

Hey, if it's like KFC, they'll do it up right. KFC in Tokyo is the shit. Some of my friends are talking about it on Twitter.

We got two in Sheffield, lol.I want to try Taco Bell. Wish they'd come to the UK
EDIT: Holy shit. They already have. But only, like five places.
Aside from the nachos and fries, everything tastes the same as the states. Menu is tiny in comparison though. I want my Gorditas!
Taco Bell in the US sold fries in the 90s. So it's old, really!
At least they're lining up for an opening
A month ago or so there was some Dairy Queen promotion where they were giving out a free vanilla ice cream, and there was a massive line of upper middle class people in downtown Minneapolis waiting for it. Like you pay 10+ bucks for lunch every day and you're going to wait half an hour for a free small vanilla ice cream?

Same with Japan's McDonald's.
yes, around here Mexican food all looks the same... crappy tortilla and chicken with dressing, no matter what they end up calling it. So cheap Taco Bell would improve this already, not to mention that it tastes better than $20 mexican dinners here.
Plus, as is with all of them, higher quality food outside of US, of course with higher prices as well.

Funny they never did that back when I was still states side. Must have been a regional thing?
Interesting that they did have it in the US though lol

For the love of shitty addictive non-tacos, please expand into China. And make trendy Hangzhou the test market.
Or Chipotle for that matter. Neither business would be a success if people were constantly getting sick from it.
That actually sounds pretty good.
