Taco Bell™ is a large chain of
fast food restaurants originating in America. They're owned by
Pepsico™, which also owns
Frito-Lay™,
Pizza Hut™, and
Kentucky Friend Chicken™.Taco Bell was very popular among
vegetarian teenageers, at least where I grew up. Back in 1995, they were the only large chain that offered a substantial
vegetarian entree -- the
bean burrito. We felt a sort of obligation to eat there, although I gave up when I realized that every time I did I got mildly ill.
We ignored the persistent rumors of
lard.
Thanks to randomidiot for pointing out that pepsico owns frito-lay, not vice-versa.
