He sold it in stores until 5 minutes later, when he opened the first Taco Bell restraunt. People ate there everyday, and many complaints were sent in. The complaints were about e.coli, salmonella, and parasites. Shit never bothered shutting down Taco Bell, then Shit! Restaurants bought it in 1980. Shit! also owns [[KFC]], A&W, and Long John Silvers. |
