A box of boxes and packaging materials. Don’t deny that that would be useful.

"Only 'kinda' gross! We're improving in our key demographics!"
taco bell pass would be great if it wasn't terrible and if you didn't need a phone for it.

I can't help but picture some weird crepey dude with a closet full of uneaten, still-wrapped tacos

you'd have to stock up over 3 days to make a meal. Otherwise, you are saving $1.60-$3.00 per meal, and you'd have to eat Taco Bell meals once per week or more to even make your money back.

I once downloaded the app since they bragged about having some sort of secret menu on there.
It was crazy.
Secret menu. Achievements you could unlock. And then there were the discounts.
I was earning a free taco with each order, but the catch was that the freebie expired in 48 hours. Like hell was I going to go to Taco Bell even once a month, especially not three times a week.
They know what they're doing over there. Someone will show up.

there's a section labeled "challenges" that challenges me to purchase a $2 burrito and get 50% off any $2 burrito on my next order.

Not surprised, I rarely received my box of birch from them, usually they sent pine, occasionally it would just be a lump of MDF
