Wendy’s had a murderous series of commercials back in the 1980s all about fast food restaurants using massive buns and tiny burgers.
The catchphrase was ‘Where’s the beef [ll]?”
Fast forward to 2010 and Taco Bell is being sacked with a class action lawsuit because their ‘beef’ products contain less than 35% of ground beef. Here’s a list of all the other shit in their ‘beef’ products…
Beef, water, isolated oat product, salt, chili pepper, onion powder, tomato powder, oats (wheat), soy lecithin, sugar, spices, maltodextrin (a polysaccharide that is absorbed as glucose), soybean oil (anti-dusting agent), garlic powder, autolyzed yeast extract, citric acid, caramel color, cocoa powder, silicon dioxide (anti-caking agent), natural flavors, yeast, modified corn starch, natural smoke flavor, salt, sodium phosphate, less than 2% of beef broth, potassium phosphate, and potassium lactate
Taco Bell = 35% beef and 65% bullshit!
