Fancy Taco Bell!

Everyone knows the proper drunken taco comes from Jack in the Box.
C'mon man it's like I don't even know you any more !
Yeah, but Jack in the Crack tacos only give you mild diarrhea.
True, but they used to be the only thing open after the bars closed or the drive in let out
Man, I totally just dated myself . . .
I have a soft spot in my heart for Taco Bell, it has nothing to do with food.
In the early 1980's I worked for a couple that taught me a lot about business, they mentored me for lack of a better term. I was starting to do well financially, Jim and his wife suggested that I should invest in PepsiCo and Anheuser-Busch. The philosophy was that both companies had good growth and even in the worst times people still drink soda and beer. I bought Pepsi and Anheuser-Busch stock any time that I could and rolled dividends back into more stock for many years. PepsiCo split off their food businesses (KFC/Pizza Hut/Taco Bell) in 1997, I ended up getting stock in the new company, Trico Global, later named YUM. I did very well with all of those stocks. In 2000 I sold about half of my stock portfolio in order to buy a home. It ended up being a great down payment. I divorced in 2008 and sold my remaining stock to settle the divorce. The good news is that we sold right before the market tanked.
I don't drink much beer or soda, nor do I eat much fast food. (Taco Bell is my favorite fast food if I am going that route.) KFC/Taco Bell/Pizza Hut still makes me smile though, they really helped my financial bottom line over the course of my lifetime.
