lol Mission Burritos
Maybe the reason they don't put Taco Bells in some countries is because people in those areas aren't "immune" to hot food and get diarrhea easily? It's kinda like most non-Western areas of the world are lactose intolerant, so I doubt ice cream chains would be probably there.

Wouldn't see that as a reason not to have any Taco Bells in the UK, seeing as we like our Indian restaurants which serve fairly spicy foods.
I would say that it is more because Mexican food maybe just isn't as popular in the UK, although there are some Mexican restaurants in certain places. |

It all started with a guy just out of the military after WW II. He wanted to start a business and started a hot dog cart. Google up "Taco Bell", their website has a taco bell history page that explains how Glen Bell started it all. It looks as though whoever edited the story did a choppy job but you get the general Idea of the history of the chain.
I just looked at the websites of both Yum and Pepsi-co, they both look like good companies to invest in. I eat at Taco Bell but not as much as I used to, ground beef kind of grosses me out anymore.

Haha! I'm American and I can relate to your love of Taco Bell. Actually, I craved it when I was pregnant with my first child. |
