I was stopped at a red light the other day, when a donut shop on the corner caught my attention. It’s been there for a decade or so, but I still feel surprised (and slightly horrified) whenever I notice they are still in business.
Fresh Donuts. Yes, I bet those donuts are fresh, but you’ll never catch me eating them.
What have donuts ever done to me, you ask? Not a thing.
But once, long ago, that building housed a Taco Bell. A Taco Bell that became known by another, less appetizing name.
Sadly, although the donut place does seem to stay in business, no one I know calls it “the donut shop on such and such corner”. It is, and will always be, “the place where Shit in the Beans Taco Bell used to be“.
It was called Shit in the Beans Taco Bell for a reason. People ate human feces mixed in with their beans. Dozens of people. If I had been one of them, I’d still be brushing my teeth, and possibly gargling acid. And then I’d still feel dirty.
It’s not an urban myth, but a true incident that made our local paper, resulted in someone being fired and given jail time, and the eventual closure of said Taco Bell. Because no one but ignorant out-of-towners ever set foot in that building again.
Sure, they probably washed the place out. The Health and Safety Inspector had to have been all over that place. But would you walk in there and order a bean burrito, all the while thinking of Shit in the Beans?
Exactly. I won’t even order a donut.

Even though they’re so fresh?
Pub on the news was just closed down, they showed pictures of the kitchen fridge – mouly, stained etc – makes me consider never eating a pub meal again…
…just considering it, not acting on it mind….
I was predicting the lines of your post as I was reading. I thought “Hey, that used to be a Taco Bell!”… then I thought “That MUST be an urban myth!”
OMG, I never eat refried beans ever. Just because they LOOK like shit.
And coincidentally, my friend and I once totally binged on Taco Bell AND fresh donuts after school and she got horrible diahrrea.
This is the best post I think I have ever read. Why? Because I love me some Taco Bell and I weigh me some 5,000 pounds thanks to it. After Shit in the Beans, I may never eat there again!
OMG that is so disgusting! I love(d) the seven layer burrito there but I am rethinking that now. I’ll have to make my own at home I’ll never be able to eat it without thinking of shit.
I just came from Taco Bell and I can honestly say that I am uncomfortably full! Nothing you can say will ruin my love for the Bell!!!! We are eternally bonded 🙂
That post rocked 🙂
I ate in a Taco Bell once, on our first vacation in the US. It was one of those places we had heard about for years and wanted to experience.
They served us some cat food in a wrap. We sat down. We were quite alarmed by the cockroaches crawling up the wall. Then one fell onto our table. We left.
Maybe not representative of all Taco Bells, but that was 12 years ago and we haven’t been back.
Just one more reason I never eat at the Bell. On another note, I got the organic diaper cream out of the dress today! I made a poultice of Oxyclean, Spray ‘N Wash and Super Washing Powder. It’s all gone! It’s a laundry miracle!
Oh my…that is scary. And disgusting. I’m not sure I’ll be able to eat at Taco Bell again after that. Don’t worry – I didn’t frequent that establishment before this either. I think I may be avoiding all donut shops too, especially those that look like they may have been former Taco Bells.
I am almost too horrified to comment, except that I worked in a dive restaurant in high school and I witnessed something so horrible that I still wince sometimes at restaurants. It involved a sliced finger, a lot of blood and a huge vat of coleslaw. DISGUSTING.
Wow.. that’s gross.
Oh my, you just unknowingly helped me stick to my diet. Thanks. I worked at Chick Fil-A in high school and someone once peed in the pickle bucket. That was pretty nasty too.
I can’t believe the horror of finding that out after having eaten there, you are right, I’d still be brushing my teeth. I feel like brushing my teeth now, just because I read it. LOL Poor donut shop, as a business, I would rather have a ghost be attached to the building, rather than that story. 🙂
Without a shitting incident, we’ve always called the place Taco Hell. I should probably write about how I scared (or scarred, your pick) my children into NEVER wanting to eat at Taco Bell or McDonalds.
I wouldn’t order the donuts either.
This is as hilarious as it is horrifying.
That one really threw me because as I was reading, I was thinking “what in the world does she have against my beloved Taco Bell?” Holy cannoli!! Steer way clear, girl. Waaaay clear.
What city was that taco bell in that pooped in their beans?
We’re trying to determine if it’s an urban legend or not.
well not only in Pub it occurs everywhere even in hotel,restaurant etc. they wont maintain the kitchen properly.It should be kept in a proper manner.
I used to work for Taco Bell in Southern Ca, and it was not to be talked about, but true. The mexican employees were stealing the beans to feed themselves, and using poop to fill in what they stole. IT IS TRUE!! They did everything to cover it up, and it looks liked it work, thanks to the lettuce ecoli story recently. (vomits)
