Taco Bell on Lodi Ave. in Lodi, CA. I stopped off on highway 99 on my way to either Stockton or Sacramento, I can't remember which. iirc, I ordered what I usually order: 2 tacos and a burrito supreme. I don't go to Taco Bell often, but during longer drives I'll occasionally stop off for fast food simply because it's convenient. That policy stopped in 2001.
The first taco was fine. There was the runny, odd beef, the iceberg lettuce, the bland tomatoes, and the cheddar cheese all in an okay shell. I even added some of the Taco Bell hot sauce in it. The second, however, was full of flies. Yes, flies. Musca domestica. I discovered this only after taking a bite. I'm not necessarily against eating insects, after all they're a much more environmentally friendly source of protein, but flies are especially filthy animals when in the wild. Needless to say, I was not happy with my taco. I got the dry heaves and tossed it.
