    Every thread about taco bell has people making jokes about it causing diarrhea and others pointing out that it doesn’t unless your diet is already awful. What these threads never seem to have is anyone saying that taco bell gives them diarrhea.

    So does anyone actually know anyone that gets sick from normal taco bell? Or is everyone just parroting a factoid

      I don’t get the taco bell jokes either. Never had an issue from eating there.

      Burger king on the other hand…

        I swear the people who have “stomach issues” from Taco Bell just aren’t used to eating any fiber.

        Burger King’s success baffles me. That place is so gross

      Of the four times I’ve gotten food poisoning in my life, once was from a taco bell. In college. At 2am, January 1st. Honestly you’d have gotten food poisoning anywhere open two hours after New Years.

        I always wondered if it is more about the employees/hygiene at Taco Bell and less about the actual food.

      I’ve not had digestive issues from taco bell, but that ancedote is only worth what you paid for it.

      It does for me, but I have IBS. Anyone I’ve met who had Taco Bell issues similarly had digestive issues. We tend to run in packs and decimate public toilets.
