A Wisconsin Yankee in Walt Disney's Court

Thanks to our old pal Jimmy for pointing out a Canned Tamales group on MyFace or somesuch social website, but I’m not joining up with any of those anytime soon. I even avoid Facebook Scrabble. I’ve been sticking with the Hormel tamales, but I saw a bag of frozen corn-husk jobbers at the Costco that I may try someday.
On a similar note, back when I lived in the land of plenty, I still supported ChiliCheese.org, even though we were blessed with the fabulous Chili Cheese Burrito from Taco Bell. Now, of course, they’re nowhere to be found around Orlando. Arguably one of the most interesting items they sell, the chili sauce doesn’t seem to combine in any other products the way their 7 other main staples combine to form 140 different taco-like foodstuffs.
I don’t miss them like I do, say, White Castle (We have Krystal’s here, which have a similar “slyder” and may actually be affiliated with WC, but it doesn’t feel the same) but it seems an injustice when you can get it in one area and not another. And it’s not like I go there much, but when I do it’s be nice to get one, now that I think about it.
With the lonely, sad death of the disenfrachised Taco Bell Chihuahua looming over them, TB could use a better PR gimmick than adding bacon to everything for a couple of months. Bring the Chili Cheese Burrito to a national audience, and while you’re at it why not bring back the mysterious “Mexi-Fries” that had an even smaller regional distribution? How could Mexi-Fries have possibly been a failure? C’mon, TB, you’ve stagnated since the days of promising a free taco to all comers if a satellite crashes into a target in the middle of the ocean. Now that was genius.
