How economical is your local Taco Bell?

I live with a fan of Taco Bell.

'good, inexpensive tacos' isn't what they sell. they sell Taco Bell (TM).

I could give this housemate an around-the-globe tour of pan-Latin cuisine and they would come back from their tour hungry for Taco Bell (TM).

I can sort of relate -- sometimes I can be surrounded by some of the best food the world has to offer, but I crave a packet of Top Ramen.

Some things offer something above and beyond what we perceive as quality, I suppose.

People like what's familiar. And some people's taste buds are just abnormal, and/or they are addicted to the (addictive) ingredients in fast food.

I love me some Crunchwrap Supreme (TM), but I also love me some fresh green chilli quesadilla with salsa verde from my favorite Mexican food place. I crave both at different times and can appreciate both of them in different ways.
