Economists Debate Sustainability Of Taco Bell Dollar Menu

NEW YORK – A special meeting of leading economists was conveyed in New York to deliberate on the future of Taco Bell’s dollar menu.  Most of the esteemed panelists agreed inflation will continue to challenge Taco Bell’s ability to deliver items for $1.00.  But the fabled restaurant chain’s proven track record of innovation and doing “disgusting shit with food” pumped a noticeable air of confidence into the proceedings, and renewed hope that America’s beloved $1.00 items are here to stay.

“Will it be hard to deliver a $1.00 Beefy Fritos Burrito in 2035?  Yes, no doubt it will be a challenge” said Princeton University economics professor Donald Fullbright.  “But with past innovations such as the reuse of frying oil and the meat hose, we’re confident the chain has more tricks up their sleeve.” he added.  Echoing Fullbright’s optimistic outlook, Yale economist Susan Leffler said “Don’t forget the American public’s insatiable appetite to consume anything in front of them.  This is a country that sustains a viable market for Funyuns after all, and that’s the wildcard here.  The way I see it, they just need to produce things that can be chewed and swallowed and they’ll be fine.”
