This just occurred to me, and I'm irrationally angry about it (TACO BELL)

[Anoregon]

Take a look at this picture, as it is an accurate enough representation of the standard Taco Bell taco:

Why on earth do they put the cheese on top of the lettuce, instead of directly on top of the meat? The meat is supposed to be the hottest part, so having direct cheese-meat contact will heat the cheese and get it nice and melty, not to mention you don't have to worry about any of it falling off. Let the lettuce fall of, who cares. Is there any rational reason for the ingredient order they use? #CHEESEINTHEMIDDLE.

This is a BIG DEAL.

 

[Squalor]

I have solved this crazy problem by not eating Taco Bell "food."

 

[terrisus]

Yet another reason why you should just make your own tacos.

 

[J-Roderton]

Yeah it's just wrong.

 

[DrEvil]

It's so when you're ordering takeout your cheese isn't a melted mess when you go to eat it.

Also, Soft Tacos 4 life.

 

[SocksAndShoes]

Wouldn't the lettuce hide the cheese if the order was reversed?

'Murica gotta see dat processed cheese.

 

[DietRob]

Get it without their grass clippings they call lettuce!

 

[Gray Matter]

It tastes the same to me.

 

[AntoneM]

Who wants melted cheese on their taco?

I haven't even had taco bell in the past couple of weeks, I'm not sure why this popped into my head all of a sudden.

Are you an actual monster?

 

[Halcyon]

It's all flying out of your anus in about 15 minutes anyway.

 

[echoshifting]

Cheese on top of lettuce is the proper way to do it imho...is Taco Bell the only place you order tacos? Because everyone does this.

GIS taco. 95% of tacos with cheese have cheese on top

Blargh. I can't stand soft tacos. It's like some kind of mushy, edible sock.

Yours maybe. Some of us have properly functioning digestive systems.

Well excuse us, your highness.

The cheese thing seems like a strange oversight, but its probably about some focus tested presentation issue.

Now I want Taco Bell...

so you must be a big fan of having tacos fall apart on you when you eat and drive.

That's probably the real reason. It's all about marketing.

I HATE people doing it, but:

There has never been a single instance, in the history of gaf (or the internet as a whole), of this being posted in a taco bell/chipotle/moes/etc thread and anybody every giving a hint of a fuck.

Everybody knows, nobody cares, it's useless to mention. Same goes for burger threads and the west coast folks feeling the need to chime with their "BUT NO YOU GUYS LISTEN, IN N OUT IS GOOD" Yes, congratulations, now shut up.

 

[FallingEdge]

I never really paid attention tbh. I usually just open the wrapper and shove it in my mouth.

Well said. I eat at Taco Bell because I want Taco Bell.

 

[J-Roderton]

Welp, now I know what I'm having for lunch, though.

 

[Seraphis Cain]

so you must be a big fan of having tacos fall apart on you when you eat and drive.

I'd hope he has enough respect for the other drivers on the road, not to mention pedestrians, to not eat and drive at all.

It's still real to me dammit!

Get out of here, the unmelted cheese has more flavor. Melted cheese just blends in with the seasoned meat and you can't really taste it. Keeping it on the lettuce give the whole taco more flavor.

I was just keeping with tradition.

This is insanity. You are literally a lunatic.

 

[echoshifting]

Why don't you just ask them to put the cheese under your lettuce? I bet they'd do it. Then you can report back with results on your superior taco.

 

[Two Words]

They want you to see the cheese.

 

[Halcyon]

Yours maybe. Some of us have properly functioning digestive systems.

Are you saying this because you don't recognize that I'm making a joke, or because you actually think anybody cares about your digestive tract.

I might actually do that next time, if I remember.

I am deeply invested in all of gaf's gastrointestinal health.

Mentions of diarrhea and a Josh Freeman pic, this thread is officially complete.

 

[False Witness]

Melted cheese simply does not belong on a taco.

 

[Matugi]

I can remember getting a Waffle Taco and Cinnabon Delites like it was yesterday. Oh man the dopamine that flooded my brain was enough to free every junkie from narcotics anonymous everywhere. Then I got back to school and found out a kid on my quad went on a rampage while on acid when he stripped naked and tackled a police officer after busting into a girl's dorm

 

[Ninja Scooter]

"Can't hide from me!"

Melted cheese belongs on any hot meat product.

 

[robotrock]

You should order the Cheesy Gordita Crunch

Keep going. I'm almost there.

 

[Marjorine]

80% of the orders at Taco Bell are through the drive through. The meat is kept at a temperature of 155 degrees while sitting on the line. If you put the cheese on the meat it would melt almost immediately and when the customer gets to their destination with their taco it would appear to have no cheese or melted cheese clinging to lettuce.

Also, as others have said, I don't think Taco Bell is unique with this taco build.

 

[Clydefrog]

I used to live with a guy who would order soft tacos without lettuce. His tacos looked like something a dog would eat.

My taco bell doesn't even have a drive-thru! I am suffering for nothing!

 

[PlayALLtheGames]

It honestly doesn't matter. Nobody eats at Taco Bell. Literally, nobody.

 

[Marjorine]

So you're standing right there? Just tell them to put the cheese on the meat and then the lettuce. They'll do it, and you can check it while at the counter.

That's not good enough. I need to be a force for change. All of Taco Bell must rectify this great injustice.

i don't want your weird ass tacos. My lettuce shavings will get everywhere. I like compressing the contents down until the whole thing is held in place by the cheese clump.

I get one every so often, they are pretty delicious.

outside of promo shots, most fast food looks like something a dog would eat.
