Had the new Carl's Jr Ghost burger, big surprise - the Ghost Pepper sauce and Ghost Pepper cheese aren't spicy. For someone who has a low tolerance, this might be semi spicy. Even worse tho, the Soul Scorchin sauce doesn't have any flavor to me. It has a small amount of heat and there's nothing else to it. The El Diablo burger's spicer and is a lot better tasting.

Extra points to Carl's Jr for calling a sauce that's 2/10 spice "Soul Scorchin" I didn't expect 8/10, but they could have at least made it a 5/10. El Diablo is the best "spicy" burger for a fast food chain, this is a weak limited-time burger that will be gone next month and won't be back.

It's always a disappointment, isn't it? You think "Maybe they've got this time.", try it, and wonder if they forgot the peppers. It never varies, but I always buy the new Blazing Soul Crusher® with the hope that they made something hot.

I don't get why y'all still expect widely available fat food to be spicy. There's no upside to them making it actually spicy. All it takes is one wimp suing for pain and you get a multi million dollar judgment or settlement. But if you advertise it as spicy and it's not any resultant lawsuits can easily be defeated by using a puffery defense.

Yeah I never really expect fast food to be actually that hot even if it says it is.

LOL, well the El Diablo from there's pretty good, I wouldn't say it's hot but it does have some heat. The Angry Whopper from BK last 2 Holloweens surprisingly had a noticeable kick. And at least fast food wise the Diablo sandwiches from Arby's were borderline impressive with the heat.

So these fast food fuckers are capable of at least mid level here, but this isn't one of those cases. And I found it odd the "Ghost Pepper" cheese they put on it has green flecks in it, I'm assuming that's supposed to be the Ghost Pepper? welp Ghost Peppers are red. They're not even trying here lol.

But yeah you're mostly right, and like a fool I'll try everything that comes out only to more than likely end up disappointed. Arby's needs to re-release the Diablo.

Eating the Domino's pizza that's viral on the TakTak. I don't like Domino's and haven't had it in a long ass time. But I saw videos for this all over YT so I figured I'd try it.

Pan pizza, no tomato sauce with extra garlic parm sauce. Philly Steak, Bacon & cheddar cheese for the toppings, ordered well done. It's a salt bomb but pretty delicious, the steak's not all that flavorful, but it's surprisingly tender. And the bacon was actually a little crispy. I think my issue with Domino's is their tomato sauce, it's too sweet or something. This garlic parm sauce is tasty and nothing about this pizza reminds me of Domino's at all. I hesitated to even try it because I don't like them, and it's the stupid ass teenie boppers on TakTak raving over it.

But it's legit, full price is NUTS. But they always have coupons so I got it for $15 and some change. It's very damn filling, around 450 calories a slice. I'd never in a million years pay almost $30 for it which is the normal price. But with that coupon, I'll definitely eat it again.

I don't expect spicy sandwiches at big food chains to be particularly spicy.
It's when they start throwing around attributes like habanero and ghost pepper that I start expecting something hotter than sriracha.

My go to lately. Black bean crunchwrap is tasty. Wouldn't be surprised if Taco Bell hikes the pricing on the online cravings box in the near future. Pricing on it hasn't changed in a long time.

One thing I don't get about Taco Bell, they have things like this where you get a lot of food for cheap and it's not bad. Then, they'll introduce a new burrito that's not even anything special and 1 of those without a drink even will still cost more than an entire box. Their pricing makes no sense from item to item.

Their pricing is just fuckin' bonkers for anything other than the cravings boxes.

I get exactly the same thing every time I go to tacobell. I get 4 or 5 plain crunchy tacos and a bean burrito. Costs about $11. I go there for those specific items. If I want tacobell, I want that stuff. I have no interest in their "premium" or limited time offerings.

Same here. When I go once or twice a year I get 3 or 4 soft taco supremes and may add on a mexican pizza. That's all she wrote.

Their Nacho Fries are pretty damn good, and look to be permenate now. I almost jumped on the $10 BF deal they had where you could get an order every day for a month.

Nacho Bell Grande + Grilled Stuft Burrito was my shit back in the day. With a Baja FUCKING Blast.

The Grilled Stuft Burrito was good, add Lava Sauce it was DAMN good. Them getting rid of Lava Sauce was FUCKING DUMB. It's a damn sauce, keep a tub of it around. I thought they wised up when they brought it back, but it was gone quick as hell. Also, them killing the Chillito was a bad choice. It obviously wasn't a top item, or it would still be around. But I never met someone who had one and didn't like it. A Chilito with Lava Sauce would be greatness.

And they know it had a cult following, what do they do? Welp, I just Googled it and the 1st link is to Tacobell.com and the description says

"Chili Cheese Burrito - Order Now
Try Our Chili Cheese Burrito" blah blah blah
It even shows a price of $2.99

But when you click on it

The page you were looking for does not exist

(Unless you were looking for a page with an animation of a taco tripping and literally spilling the beans. If that's the case it definitely exists, and you definitely found it.)

So they think it's funny to mock people who loved the Chilito, those disrespectful fucks. I know a few random locations across the country still offer it. There use to be a website that tracked which ones. But it's offline None of the ones anywhere near me had it.

This is awesome news for right to repair! It's rare the Copyright office actually makes a decision that is good for the people.

I just wish they would go all the way and allow the repair of ANYTHING.

Wow, the insanity of how many I see in the mid west and there's literally zero in So Cal. I knew some locations still offered it, but I had no idea it was that many! The closest to me is 265 miles.

This is sad, I know it's not a mind glowingly good item, but I remember it well and it always hit the spot after a few brews.
