TallGuyJohninBKK Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 BTW, from what I'm seeing, Taco Bell U.S. does NOT use canned frijoles for their product. Instead, they appear to use a bagged version of dehydrated pinto beans that they then "cook" at their shops.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be surprised if the beef were powdered as well.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TallGuyJohninBKK Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Perhaps Taco Bell needs to re-purpose their latest "find the missing nacho fries" TV commercial to be a "find the missing beef and beans" commercial..... Just a bit of video editing would do the trick!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t realize they sold them in the US as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Taco bell goes out of business in Thailand they can say so we dont serve beef and beans get over it.....Just because were one of the very very few Taco Bells in the world that does not serve beef and beans thats your problem..... Taco Bell can then resell the franchise and and the next franchise owner can make bank with beef and beans... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, their response was to point out that they offer cheese quesadillas on the menu, to which I responded by pointing out that a lot of people who don't eat meat also choose not to eat dairy products.... So the cheese quesadilla really wouldn't work for those folks... They didn't seem willing to engage on the vegetarian issue much beyond that... Apparently, their market research has also informed them that Thais aren't interested in vegetarian choices either!!! ???? far too much time on your hands.

Taco Bell in Thailand needs to see a doctor because they have a hearing problem.....A beef a bean problem.....So 25,000 out of a city of 15,000,000...You have no reason to believe they are not listening and have no plans to add beef and or beans. How long has it been?How long do you think it takes to implement a chine like that? How long does it take to get a container from the US? Perhaps you think they should run down to Villa Market, buy some beef and beans, have the local staff whip up the new products and just mark up the menus with magic markers...., Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really loved those small MOS-burgers with a thick slice of good tomato....but once i got one with a large piece of very chewy meat in it, that slipped through the mincer i guess but i 've never been back there. Also their staff became very arrogant and stupid. But all those fastfood chains have the same problem which is the staff...they can't speak english, are not serviceminded, have no manager, no education and no manners.

My experience with the staff at fast-food restaurants in Thailand has been that they are generally friendly and well mannered. I do not expect them to speak English. In Thailand even more so than other countries, I am often reminded of the verse: "Whatever a man sows, that shall he also reap." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt that wherever you come from only really smart people eat at American fast-food joints. It's funny how many countries couldn't even come up with their own crappy fast-food joints, they sit around and wait for McDonald's or some other American crap to show up and feed them. Must be because they are all so smart... When I take my kid to McDonald's here, the westerners in line almost always seem to be Europeans, almost never see Americans there.
