Taco Bell Hot Sauce Phrase Labeled Offensive

By Matt Paprocki

The short story:

Taco Bell held a contest for people to put funny slogans on their hot sauce packets. One of them happened to be "Not a flotation device," or other wording close to it.

Mildly amusing given all the warnings on other products these days, but apparently, this woman decided it was offensive. How? It's an insult to Mexicans who struggle to bring their families to freedom.

Now, I'm not a geography expert, but if you need to traverse water to get to America from Mexico, you're probably headed in the wrong direction. Secondly, if you walk into a Taco Bell and associate it with Mexicans in the first place, that's an offensive stereotype.

I probably would have shrugged the whole thing off if there was no response, BUT TACO BELL IS PULLING THE PACKETS. So, there are multiple stupid people involved here: Taco Bell's higher-ups who don't have the balls to stand up to overly politically correct people and this woman who is far more racist than a packet of hot sauce.

As such, Taco Bell has lost me as a customer unless the packets go back into their restaraunts and I can use one myself. Secondly, I think it's time for a hate group, and the website should be www.stupidassholes.org. Thanks to this woman, I think I've found my goal in life. It's time to stand up to the morons of the world who take something and blow it up into an incident that causes a company to throw away thousands (probably more) of packets of hot sauce. I have no problem with hating people like this.

If this was Burger King, they would have sent that creepy King to scare the hell out of her. Since that could offensive to King's, I would suggest anywhere in the area protest outside her house until she admits she's stupid. Until then, there's no justice. Taco Bell will be getting an e-mail as well from me.

I can't boycott Taco Bell... Go there, order Nachos Bel Grande with a Mountain Dew and tell me how you feel about them then.

milo milo milo, the crunch wrap supreme (steak filled) with a sweet tea or dr. pepper is by far the best thing you can get at taco bell.

I actually just had a Grilled Stuft Burrito with a small Dr. Pepper tonight. It hit the spot.

Way before 'Supersize Me' was even thought of a friend of mine ate Taco Bell twice a day for a week just out of love for the food, not as an experiment. He was hospitalized with food poisoning not from any single item but from eating too much of that stuff and nothing else. I am a nacho addict but I prefer them from other places, Ruby Tuesday has decent nachos as does La Paz.

I find it interesting that someone would think they have to come to America from Mexico to be free. Last time I checked, Mexico is a free country. People come here from south of the border because they are poor, plain and simple. I heard about the Mexicans who froze to death in the AZ desert trying to get here during the recent cold snap and I was amazed. We are so blessed to have been born in this country and most of us rarely take the time to appreciate it. If someone is willing to crawl accross the desert or float a raft accross the Gulf to get here then I say "welcome".

Unfortunately not. I like the things they have called chicken kickers, but we didn't even get those.

I always try to be ethnically correct, so I can't tell you how disturbed I was by this story.

If you are a normal, tolerant person, and you want to have a party where everybody is welcome, how, as a host, do you handle the fact that the term "********" will mean signifcantly different things to post-dunking Wiccans and Mexicans?

I'm not a geography buff, but the article hints that you don't have to cross water to get from Mexico to America but doesn't the Rio Grande spread across most of the Texas/Mexico border. In that case, if your trying to get from Mexico to America there is a good chance you would have to cross water.

almost nothin pisses me off more than stupid political correctness. it all the far left and the aclu. im convinst in this country now that is it minority rules because if they feel they are getting offended in anyway they cry and throw law suits at us. it has to be stopped someone needs to just stand up tell these people we dont care and the judges need to throw these kind of cases out of court for being so idiotic

thanks for allowing me to vent i dont get to much
