So, because you express surprise, I assume that means the 99 center bean burritos are not a thing anymore? Because they were definitely a thing up until at least 2005 or so. Haven't been to Taco Bell in about that long, though!
there was another commercial for little caesars where you could get two pizzas, a drink, and crazy bread for like 8 bucks
The way it was setup is to utilize the excess farm production that the government ensures as both a political favor and a food security strategy. The idea was feed the people cheaply. In a way, it worked too well.
Bean burritos aren't too much worse now, like $1.30 or so. That is a 30% increase but it's still cheap compared to McDs. I expect to pay about $12 for a good meal and $8 if I'm skimping.
