Apparently you can get glocks and weed at McDonalds now. I’m not lovin’ that. Glocks and marijuana destroy communities! You read…
CHARLESTON, SC (WCSC) – A Charleston teen picked up his food from a McDonald’s drive-through, but he got something else with his meal — a loaded gun and bags of marijuana.
It happened on August 29 at the McDonald’s on Savannah Highway. According to a police report, an 18-year-old and his cousin went to the drive-through to get some food. The employee at the window asked ‘who gets the bags.’ The young man said ‘it doesn’t matter,’ not realizing what he would find inside.
Police say he got an extra bag with a loaded .45-caliber or nine-millimeter handgun and what appeared to be bags of marijuana.
“It was the gun and the marijuana that was inside of a brown bag sitting inside of a McDonald’s bag,” said Kathy Rivera, whose son found the gun in his bag. “They noticed they had three bags. There were only two people in the car, so when he opened it he noticed it.”
Police say the gun and the bags of marijuana apparently were meant for the car behind the 18-year-old’s vehicle in the drive-through. Those people followed the young man all the way to a gas station on Sam Rittenberg Boulevard. One of them jumped out of the car and demanded that he give them the bags, which he did.
This could have led to some serious violence. I know if someone tried to stick me up for my food they would be taking a dirt nap. Fo real. Fo real.

Let me start by saying that I love Taco Bell. There’s just something about it. In my eyes, it is by far the superior choice for fast food. A grilled stuffed burrito with extra baja sauce and a chicken quesadilla was my go to breakfast/lunch/dinner for years. In high school and the early years of college, there was nothing better than 2 A.M. trips to Taco Bell. They even flew me to their test kitchen to educate me about their company and menu.
Taco Bell does a great job at mixing up their menu. The classics will always be there, like the Mexican pizza, but there’s usually a new “test” item that sometimes makes the menu if the people buy enough of it. This strategy has brought us such deliciousness at the Volcano menu and the Crunchwrap. Great success. The only thing about this is usually it’s just multiple items using some new sauce or similar concepts. It can get redundant.
Upon browsing my favorite food blogs this morning, I noticed that WIBIA broke a world exclusive. Taco Bell is now offering shrimp tacos for $2.49. These tacos contain 6 marinated shrimp, lettuce, pico and a ranch based sauce. Observe:

Seriously, Taco Bell? Shrimp? You can’t just take two delicious things and combine them. It doesn’t work that way. Mashed potatoes and peanut butter do not go together. Neither do cookies and gravy. Then again, for some reason I want to try both of those combinations. Back to business, this is a terrible idea. I have no desire to ever try this. Taco Bell and seafood just don’t mix. Remember those stories of Taco Bell using grade D meet, which has lower standards than animal food? I’ve been able to put that behind me. Seafood? Just can’t do it.
This is by far the worst idea Taco Bell has EVER had. I am unable to find any information regarding this new menu item, but it appears to only be a regional thing. Kudos to WIBIA for the find.
