Plagiarizing from a friend on Facebook who suggested some signs for their drive-thru windows:

"Why wait for lunch to start making bad decisions?"

"Good morning! You're about to call in sick!"

"Shart your day with Taco Bell!"

McD's breakfast burritos (the $1 variety) have gone downhill. Size has shrunk and they tend to be over microwaved and dried out. I have been a fan of Del Taco's breakfast menu, but not many around here. Also like Jack in the Box, but none around here. I welcome the competition.

I rarely eat breakfast, but a stop here would probably be better than the Rooster Special I get at the local diner on occasion - two eggs, bacon, sausage, ham, hash browns and toast.

I've never eaten at a Taco Bell - this does not give me a reason to change my streak.

370 for sasuage. The "crunchwrap" is north of 700 for sausage....

The egg mcmuffin (sans cheese) is 240 and the egg white delight mcmuffin is 200.

I think I'd rather have two of those vs the waffle taco. Problem is I like the hashbrown too


*I ate a lot of taco bell circa the days of .59 chicken tacos in college. I haven't been to once since I got out. Their Doritos tacos always seem interesting to me but I've never tried one.

Considering that Dunkin Donuts advertises their turkey sausage breakfast sandwich as "under 400 calories," the 370 isn't too horrible.

I can't say that I'd try it though.

More ways to get fat. Taco Bell adds Breakfast

I wish the regular menu would be available all day in fast food joints. And the hash brown product available all day too.

Especially at UA hub airports.

I agree (especially about hash browns).

[Removed "quote" of post for sake of bandwidth-limited folks]

This could be such a timesaver - so much of it appears to have been thoughtfully pre-digested.

Thanks, Taco Bell!

I just can't get past the urkfest burrito.

AGREED! The only better taco is the Choco-taco.

Mickey D's owns breakfast. The steak bagel (no egg) has been my favorite for many years. The hashbrowns are amazing. And the McGriddle? Amazing. (Although I learned never to eat a mcgriddle and hashbrowns and drive over bumpy sugarcane roads on Kauai.)
