That's only true if you buy the items individually which seems to be very common with how many people i overhear the order of in the drive thru.
But I know for a fact that you can get a cheesy gordita crunch, beefy 5 layer, cheesy fiesta potatoes, and a medium (+$0.10 to make it a large) drink for $7 (in the taco bell app, it's the 'build your own cravings box'). Welcome to what I like to dub the "pizza place monetization scheme", where prices are inflated to shit and back unless you know or research the magic code and/or corporate advertises the magic code.
Not coming at you personally but I keep seeing this posted when people talk about fast food prices.
It shouldn't take a dedicated app, advanced planning and signing away your rights to a class action lawsuit to not get charged $8 for 1 item of fast food slop
It's like if somebody responded to a complaint about grocery prices with a link to that extreme couponing show and said they didn't know why people were complaining.
Not that I'm trying to take fast food that seriously, just not eating the stuff is pretty easy when there isn't any of it for 40 miles in any direction but this slop was the closest thing to a creature comfort for a lot of people who are struggling.
This is true and the fact that you need to navigate a bunch of bullshit for an affordable meal seems like it also functions as an anti-homeless measure for the companies
>4 food items
>$25

I don't want fast food dlc. I just want a fucking taco
What’s the name of that TikTok guy who gets paid to share food discount codes but acts like they’re secrets and bugs that the company forgot to fix?
i didn't know about the build a box shit, that's new tech to me. I always just got dollar menu items previously
