I've never understood the "Taco Bell gives you the shits" thing. I'm no big fan of Taco Bell and I would never claim they make great food, but I've eaten there plenty in my life and I don't think I've ever gotten the shits from their food. Honestly I don't think I've ever even gotten the farts from Taco Bell. Is this really some common human experience I've missed out on?

EDIT I just read the other comments, apparently I'm not alone

It's literally because Taco Bell is one of the few fast food places that has a decent amount of fiber in most of their items, and most people's diets are sorely lacking in fiber. So the sudden influx gives them the shits, and they blame it on the Taco Bell, instead of their poor diet.

Eat your vegetables, eat more beans, and your Taco Bell shits will be no more.

If I eat from the local taco place, if I get chipotle or Taco Bell. None of it makes me shit. I do not understand who gets the shits from taco bell or willingly goes back

The only fast food that had ever made me sick was White Castle. That shit is disgusting

Same and it's happened a few times.
