Chili and Cheese Goodness

Posted by Josh Boldman | Filed under Life, Thoughts

Let me first be incredibly clear that I am in now way about to exaggerate the amount of excitement that I experienced only a few short hours ago. The story of that excitement begins almost 7 years ago when I was rushing from Eckerd Drugs (the company that valued one hour of my life at a paltry $5.15) to the local Taco Bell for my absolute favorite pseudo-Mexican delight…

The Chili Cheese Burrito

I almost feel that I didn’t just do that justice… let me try again…

There. That’s better. But this is the point where our story takes a dark and sinister turn. Much to the dismay of our story’s hero (me, of course) was informed by the Dark Overlord of the Anti-Burrito Kingdom that the Chili Cheese Burrito had been discontinued. End of story. Case closed. Sorry ’bout your luck.

Now fast forward to the present. After 7 years of meaningless existence (ok, now I’m exaggerating a bit), I walked into the local Taco Bell (the Missouri variety, naturally), looked at the menu, and in 18 letters (and 2 spaces), my life changed in a way that I was not expecting. Today I have eaten my first Chili Cheese Burrito in well over 364 weeks. For that reason I am walking a little heavier and feeling that much more bloated… and it feels wonderful.

If you too would like to feel the joy of this magical, mystical, cheesy delight, be sure to check out chilicheese.org and sign their petition to have this perfect combination of chili and cheese in just the right proportions brought back into the world in a triumphal entry that will only be overshadowed by the Second Coming itself. As for me, I know where I’ll be eating lunch for the next few years. Please be praying for my Cholesterol.
