Looks more and more like Twitter was specifically designed to organize mobs for the purpose of quickly beating down anyone or anything liberals do not like.

What a bunch of pansies. I might have went to eat at a Taco Bell just to support them if they have made this public and told this group to “Eff off”!

Anyone in the food business that doesn’t know that the CSPI is a bunch of loons deserves what they get.

Bringing Taco Bell food to a party as an appetizer is like punting on first and ten.

Ahh, the CSPI. Author of reports like:

Chinese food: the new yellow peril
Movie popcorn: kernels of death
Fried chicken: heart attack with a beak
Food porn: mayonnaise money shot
and the Bugermeister Meisterburger toyless Sadness Meal

The ‘other side’ has machines to fake numbers. The ad should have stayed.

They can ask McDonalds how their ‘seaweed burger’ the McLean did - NO ONE ordered it - and that after millions of calls for it.

We’re up against liars...

I used to think that people in general were not stupid enough to have some kind of taco bell advertisement make them stop eating vegetables. After 2008, and 2012, I’m now sure their fears are justified, especially since its been proven that cheap plastic toys cause children to become obese.

I really think liberals have gone mental. If an adult can’t decided between a taco or a carrot stick, shame on them. These people are idiots with lots of time on their hands living their lives on twitter.

Great job, Taco Bell, first you offend those in the minority then the majority.
