I was just thinking early about how good the 1997 taco bell lineup was in terms of quality. I want the Santa Fe steak gordita from this era as well as a supreme pan pizza from the hut. Sad times.

Yeah, the 90s was great for Taco Bell. The bacon menu, ranchero items, big border taco for $0.99, fire sauce introduced, dollar Mexican pizzas or nacho supremes with green onions still. I worked there in highschool during the gordita launch, and they were all pretty good. Best was just having the additional ingredients to make whatever when you were working.

Taco Bell has been shit since they got rid of the Double Decker taco and made the Mexican Pizza smaller.

Double Decker and the 7-layer. I rarely go anymore, or for any fast-food for that matter.

The 1990s was great for all fast food. They hadn't been shamed into trying to make everything healthy, so you had delicious lard and trans fats. Fast food joints also still stuck to what they knew: delicious staples of whatever their niche (burgers, chicken, or Mexican). They hadn't introduced all this fancy "gourmet" crap. They also still met the definition of "fast" with those little food chutes and food ready to go. The prices were still reasonable and fit in nicely as a cheaper alternative to an actual restaurant. Fast food jobs were still an attractive teen employment opportunity, so service was generally good. The jobs hadn't yet been taken over by people who can't speak a lick of English or adults whose low IQ precludes them from any other work.
Truly the golden age.

the downfall of good cheap fast food is largely this asshole
I read the actual book while I was bored in Iraq in 2006. I found it lol that he was actually a raging alcoholic who pounded a dozen beers and a fifth of whiskey every single day while doing his "experiment." By the time somewhat more serious researchers caught up to it and found that nothing was reproducible by anyone and he downplayed his increasing alcoholism (which lead to his death) it was too late. It had been consumed by the culture.
