Doritos Locos Tacos Better Work Creator Than President Obama

By Cornelius Nunev


One of the terms that gets flung around, specifically during presidential campaign seasons, is "job creators." A ton of things could be job makers, evidently even tacos as Taco Bell's Doritos Locos tacos supposedly added 15,000 jobs to Taco Bell's payrolls.

Idea with Doritos

Ever watch those "TED" Talks? It's basically a series of symposiums where rich people talk about things in front of other prosperous people. One was questionable. Nick Hanauer, a venture capitalist and founding in-vestor in Amazon, said that business people weren't really job creators - customers are.

Careers are created by demand, so individuals have to demand thing if they want a rise chain of supply.

You can see the footage on YouTube, though it was buried in the TED footage.

This was proved with the "Doritos Locos" taco trend. The food has been so popular at Taco Bell, according to the Daily Mail, that 15,000 brand new jobs are being produced at the company.

One taco for 15,000 careers

The correlation between a taco and 15,000 careers being created was not quite explained by Taco Bell, and probably because it does not make sense. It seems silly that so many jobs would come from one item on the menu.

That aside, the delicious treats were a great success. After test runs in restricted locations went well, Taco Bell rolled them out nationwide. Over 2012, 375 million were sold and that many taco fans cannot be wrong. It accounted, according to the Christian Science Monitor, for almost a quarter of Taco Bell's taco sales.

The Nacho Cheese flavor was launched last year. In the last couple of weeks, the Cool Ranch flavor was released, according to the LA Times. The Cool Ranch fla-vor has 140 calories and 7 grams of fat while the nacho flavor has 160 calories and 10 grams of fat. It also costs less than $2 per taco, so it will not break the personal bank to spend there.

Only a taco

Lord knows why Doritos Locos are such a big deal. It's just a taco for crying out loud. However, the so-cial networks are going absolutely ridiculous over it. Same thing with the McRib; it's prac-tically pork gelatin slathered in barbecue sauce on a terrible bun. Are we this bored as a culture that THIS is what it's come down to?

This is a dull age I guess.
