Why has Taco Bell abandoned their old slogan "better make a run for the border"?

Maybe they thought they would take it literally and do it.... cutting drastically into their profit margin...I too liked those commercials they were eye catching.....

lol i miss it to wish they would have kept it

They changed it, so they wouldn't hurt the criminal, lawbreaking, illegal alien, foreign nationals feelings.

What I want to know is did they get rid of that Rat looking dog? I always suspected it was a source of meat for the franchise.

should be liven back up again and let us see La Raza ACLU and LULAC cry.

"border" is such a BUTTON word these days...and they are more into selling tacos that pushing people's bottona...

DAR

Snicker.

Very good.

n2beaver

nancy kay is right! With all the buzz about border control these days it is deemed negative to use it in an advertising campaign.

Thanks for the smile!

Cause they were bombarded with sues and stuff

Me-She

Maybe because they opened up shop in Baja! :o)

Have you seen the news lately with imigrants and them "running for the border,"

Justin S

I'm only 12 so i guess it must have been considered racist ( and still is ) so whoever told them to get rid of it Will probiley get sued by the a.c.l.u . Or it didn't attract customer's maybe you should write them a letter and ask them why your self .

Guess they finally realized that their food is NOT Mexican food.

Granted, I can pound down a few of their tacos, but it ain't Mexican food.

OK! as an ignorant Brit, Please explain? Just interested, that's all!

angie

Oh God, Taco Bell is not Mexican food. Crunchwrap supreme doesn't even exist in Mexico. I honestly hate their commercials, and specially their food, their tacos are okay but those experiments they come up with, not even the little chihuahua can eat them.

If you heard in the news that White House has already approved the budget to finance building the 700-mile border to prevent illegal immigrants from South America to cross the border.

because of that issue Taco thought that slogan will be bad for business.. You know taco originally comes from latin America

Nikita21

Unfortunate connotation with food poisoning?

wwclark

To many people were taking it literally.LOL

Controversy. The slogan seems to have something to do with illegal Mexican immigrants, which is an EXTREAMLY important issue.

You know what I miss, when people used to ask intelligent questions in here.
