I know, Taco Bell, the drunk food from the gods that will surely leave you with a hangover AND the runs the next morning.
Back in 1999, the company and their racially charged stereotyped dog were promoting the "Grande meal" which came with a coupon for a free video rental at Blockbuster.
Check out the promotion below.
\Now, clearly, mom and dad were none too smart in choosing Taco Bell for dinner. Those Gordita's were sure to keep little Johnny and Suzy up all night, but where they did go right was snatching up their free video rental coupon and choosing Ghostbusters for movie night.
Of course, the little dog was hungry for S'mores as Mr. Stay Puft exploded, but the one thing that really irks me about the ad is the fact that it's 1999 and this poor family doesn't already own a copy of Ghostbusters!
Perhaps they had lived under a rock, or maybe they were part of a cult that didn't allow them to watch movies, and they escaped in the middle of the night, rented a home in beautiful San Fernando Valley, and were just discovering Ghostbusters and diarrhea in a shell for the first time?
Yeah, probably the second one.
