WIth the craze about obesity and fast food, what do you think about taco bell's 4th meal ad campaign?

Question

If you're not familiar, taco bell is advertising for a 4th meal between dinner and breakfast, I'd assume aimed at people out partying with the munchies. I think this takes balls considering all the bad press McDs has gotten. Thoughts?

Answer 1

personally i don't have a problem with any of it.. we all know that it might not be good for you, but there are alot of other bad things out there... it's up to us to purchase it or not... nobodys twisting our arm...

Answer 2

i don't consume quickly nutrition too lots, yet as quickly as I do: Mcdonald's- Grilled chicken honey mustard snack wrap with the two a fruit n yogurt parfait or a small fry. Somestimes a fruit n walnut salad. Burger King- by no skill bypass there KFC- popcorn chicken A&W- rootbeer choose for the flow Arbys- generic roast beef sandwich with a small curly fry. each so often a jamocha shake. Taco Bell- hmmmm have not been there in awhile, won't be in a position to choose for, lol Wendy's- small chili and facet salad with italian dressing or a grilled chicken sandwich. Somes situations chicken nuggets or a frosty.

Answer 3

Its weird. Personally, people need to f*cking shut the f*ck up about obesity... because I'm very sick of it (no offence). The school district here wont serve seconds after lunch is served, because a new law was passed that the main dish makes kids fat, so seconds have to be thrown. The obesity law. I have to go back to class still hungry because the government has permition to f*ck with my lunch? 4,000 people, or more, die daily from starvation, and they can throw away leftovers that I could still EAT. The world is getting REALLY ****** up. I don't think taco bell is the least of anyones worries. If I can't eat at taco bell, I think I'd die.

Answer 4

i agree... i was surprised to hear them advertising the eating at a time where, (healthily) we're not supposed to eat, and it's taco bell...to be kinda stretching it.

Another interesting thing that I heard yesterday on the radio is that restaurants in Los Angeles may be forced to take items off the menu that contain more than a gram of trans fat per serving... to which the cooks replied, "not only will that raise the cost, but it will lose some of the taste."

I thought that was kind of interesting as well =)

Answer 5

I agree with you. and also think mcdonalds promoting their new snackers is a terrible ad campaign. the amount of calories in this "Snack" is what a normal person shold probably consume for a meal and they are promoting eating these between meals.too bad they don't put the nutritional info beside the picture of the product in the ad.

Answer 6

Obviously, they are just trying to promote their products. No worse than the ridiculous Stacker sandwiches Burger King has come out with! That amount of meat is gross! The whole sandwich is a heart attack waiting to happen!

Answer 7

actually Mc dumpsters dose have the 4th meal too in that comercial where people are acting stupid around 2 (clock in the back ground in 1 of the commercials) then the athletic idiot says "guess he/she missed snack time" they should really put some fat **** saying that in a t-shirt covered in sweat and grease But yeah they are trying to fatten up everyone its their goal

Answer 8

I think its cool, especially for people that are looking for places to eat at that time of the hour since there arent many places open but it may be another thing fat people need to be careful about so that they dont overdo their eatting habits.

Answer 9

The bottom line is fast food restaurants want to sell more product. If our health is in jeopardy, it doesn't matter as long as the bad PR doesn't overshadow sales.

Answer 10

i agree that it takes balls.. but they are (like you said) marketing towards a particular age group.. the "party" group and because they aren't marketing towards children they won't catch near as much hell as McD's
