We don't need Taco Bell, we've got Radio 1... ;-) Anyway, the whole point of Taco Bell is that it's a restaurant owned by 'Southern Bell', the telephone company, hence the huge Bell logo, and the whole point of 'Southern Bell' is that it's based in Southern USA, and is only really applicable to Southern Americans. I think when you find yourself eating at the corporate equivalent of the local telephone company canteen, listening to Toxygene and Jesus Jones, time to find a better restaurant. Jeremy.

Err, not exactly. Taco Bell is owned by Pepsi, which I am sure all Europeans are familiar with. At least those from Amsterdam, where I saw a billion Pepsi/Spice Girls ads at Central Station two years ago. Of course, if you find yourself eating Lays, Pizza Hut, Kentucky Fried Chicken or a million other fast foods, you are also within Pepsi's grip. If I missed the :-) in that messsage, excuse me. But I don't think I did. :-)

Well, he was correct a year or two ago, but Pepsico spun off Tricor, Tricon (I remember the ticker symbol is YUM, I'm so American), whatever a while back. Interesting fact: The first three Tricon shop (KFC, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell all in one place) is in the Dallas area. Never been there or nothing, just thought I'd talk about how North texas is the bomb. Yeah boyee! NT in 99 gonna go straight up yo shitta! Me and the other scenester. *ahem* Sorry, must be coming down with that So Cal flu I hear SO MUCH about. :)
