Theorists, are the rumors TRUE? Does Taco Bell, fan favorite fast food restaurant, WRECK your stomach? You know what I mean. Taco Bell has developed a reputation for giving people digestive issues after consuming their food. Now, I like proof before making such big accusations. So today we are going to figure out if this is the TRUTH or a stinky pile of LIES!

You know the saying "I'm so hungry I could eat a horse"? Well, how hungry do you actually have to be to eat a horse? How much of a horse is edible? How long would it take the average person to eat one, and can a single person even manage to eat an entire horse before it goes bad?
that's what freezers are for
I like this idea!
@@dmerritt4ever freezers prolongue the lifetime of a food, doesn't make it infinite
I think that old show Mansers did that. Turns out horses don't have too much edible meat. Like ten pounds? So you'd only need a few really big meals to do it.
This needs to be an episode now.
The American diet is very low in fiber. If you suddenly eat beans, a high fiber food, you might get loose stool.
Ya
True
The American diet needs more veggies and fruit too.
I actually eat beans alot, rice and beans is something I eat commonly. No problems, I make it myself. But I started working at taco Bell, and I decided to eat a burrito, because I was hungry and had nothing else. Boy was that a mistake. I didn't get "The Runs" It just made my stomach hurt. I honestly think it's the Red Sauce™(®?) Maybe lmao. Never touching their food again regardless.
Like most fast food, it's heavily processed, so that's another factor for sure.
@@nok4799 Yep
I have never gotten sick from Taco Bell. This was very interesting and informative. Thank you MatPat.
I got food poisoning
It's because Taco Bell's force there workers to sell products that's expired sometimes to save on food cost. It's bad man.
I've never gotten sick but I've definitely had toilet speed runs the only restaurant that has almost killed me(for now) was Chipotle.
Bro same! It's so weird people get sick from it! This is a very informative video! :D
Gotta love food theory :)
I get sick from Taco Time all the time though, very weird. He should do a video about that next!
Taco Bell has oddly never made me sick. If there’s any fast food chain that has made me sick, it’s Popeyes.
Tacobell used to be cheap is the thing that kept me going. Now, two meals cost us $17. The wraps that used to be .79 are priced at $2.49. They do have the $5 boxes, but no cinnamon twists with them now. Many other fast food places offer $5 bundles too. I know inflation and all but that was also happening years ago and Taco Bell was the only affordable option then. I mean two people eating good for less than $10 affordable.
Just started eating at taco bell again after many years without because of the $2 burritos that's good deal these days
Financial vampirism fr fr
Naw man I worked at a Taco Bell when you commented this, and the cinnamon twists were part of the five dollar cravings box. Maybe that changes by location
Cravings box is $6 and includes two decently big items, a side, and drink. More than enough for a meal. Two of those is $12 so it’s not a bad price.
"Now, two meals cost us $17." That is cheap for fast food. Every other option is at least double that at this point.
Fact: there used to be fruit on Taco Bell’s menu in the form of a dessert called caramel apple empanada. It was basically a fried apple pie with caramel and it was amazing. My soul was crushed the day I discovered they no longer had it.
Yeah all they have is some stupid cinnamon ball crap and cina twists
I couldn't agree with these statements more
They still have them tho they so nice
SAME I WAS SO FUCKING SAD WHEN THEY REMOVED IT. IT WAS MY CHILDHOOD DESERT.
Taco bell removes everything they had that was good.
Can you do a food theory about what’s the “healthiest” dessert. Not like desserts that try to be healthy by substituting ingredients. But what regular dessert would you get the most nutrients from?
@@kitkat-hv1pm what are you talking about I could definitely see this as an episode
My first guess would be a fruit crumble with an oat topping
anything with a lot of whole or sliced fruit
@@kitkat-hv1pm one was them just drinking soda to see which tasted better, they can do whatever they want on here
@@kitkat-hv1pm you said they can’t, also no ones pressed dog we’re talking about a desert idea under a video about Taco Bell diarrhea. Stop projecting
I wonder if the follow up episode will be one of the final 9
That intro was everything
I’ve had Taco Bell many times and I’ve never gotten diarrhea or gotten sick after Taco Bell. Whenever I hear this rumor I just shrug it off.
Same
Maybe your stomach's immune
You deserve more likes
@@KaelFazkid mine is as well
Yeah I used to work at one and got free meals and basically ate it everyday
Maybe MatPat is trying to tell us that the animatronics are holding him hostage and making him eat Taco Bell. Release another FNAF video for yes, don’t release one for no
And locking the bathroom door
Such utter dispare for Matt if he has to go through the boarder blast challenge
Nice
maybe it's Dad and there's actually Food in the tacos lol
yes
if anything is worth it, it's Taco Bell
Coffee and the run to the toilet are my morning gold.
I've got a fun food theory idea. Is there any one food that you could live on solely and indefinitely without experiencing any negative side effects?
I think potatoes could be a strong contender 🤔
@@shadowthief6537 I thought that too, but I wasn't sure about protein content. 🤔 I was kind of wondering about peanut butter and banana sandwiches on wheat bread too.
as long as the fish is fresh honestly i think sushi is a good contender
@@tortilla1998 ooooh, good point. Maybe.
@@AmberGraves80 I read somewhere that mashed potatoes actually complete what a potato lacks
Taco Bell is basically a Dark Souls boss to toilets

I've never had an issue with Taco Bell, but I've always thought the bathroom jokes and stories around it were fun and interesting to hear
“Have you ever been on that side of TH-cam?”
All the nursing and medical students: 😔
😔
They *ARE* that side of youtube
There are many sides of TH-cam you don’t want to see and I know at least 1 of them not including the med side
yes, we have. 😔
Programmers will know too lol
As a Mexican I am thankful Mat Pat said “loosely inspired Mexican menú” because you would not see any of that on any real Mexican restaurant.
My husband is mexican, and so I've had real mexican food quite a lot, and his mother and extended family have all shared foods at events plenty of times. Some of it does feel close, conceptually. But he says he prefers Jack in the Box's tacos when he wants a fast food taco. I don't see the difference quite as much between Taco Bell and Jack. It's still a taco... But yeah, all of it definitely stands out as american versions of mexican food, without even a hint of authenticity.
Wait Taco Bell isn't real Mexican food? 🌮🔔
@@himura-miki I think it also depends from where they are from, because north, center and south Mexico have super different food techniques so not even we know all of our cultural food. For example if your husband is from close to the border then yes his style will be very similar to Taco Bell. But just going a little south you face yourself with a thousand differences. I haven’t been to taco Bell, but I went to a similar one here in Quebec called Quesada and you can notice the differences. Also by watching the menu on this video it is not close enough to mexican cuisine.
Its not real mexican, its tex mex, inspired but its own thing
No sane human being that has tasted mexican food says that taco bell is authentic
You are the channel I wake up to everyday get up out ot of bed and watch you!!!
7:03 "And what not" THATS NORWEGIAN CHOCOLATE AND ITS SOOO GOOD😂 never thought id find that in a food theory video😂
I definitely have too much time on my hands - I counted. Here's the results:
It was said 32 times, 34 if we count 'diarrheaness'
It was on screen 67 times, 5 more times with wrong spelling, 1 more for british spelling, 1 more in the powerpoint presentation and 2 more for the same frame being used twice
So in total it was in the video 99 times, or 110 times if we count the edge cases
Wanna help me do my schoolwork?
That a lot of diarrhea
Hi
Nice man
POG!
He's not only going to follow up with Taco Bell in an actual experiment, but compare it to other fast foods... God speed Mat Pat, you're doing a mission no other would accept, if you don't make it out alive, you will be heralded as a legend, if you do make it out... a hero.

lumpy poops made me laugh so hard.
Hey Matt, sort of a tame Food Theory question for you, "Why do some things taste better at different temperatures (I.E. why do some drinks/foods taste better cold and others taste better hot)"?
Some of the reasons are either because it gets rid of bacteria, it is yeast based thereby is chemically shifting through heat or because how carbonation works as it separate the actual carbon from the drink
80% of taste is smell, and different smelly things give off more smell at different temperatures (think of the difference between boiling water, and oil. same idea, but evaporation, not boiling).
Water would be a good one to include, for some odd reason, water only tastes good cold...
@@JamesTDG I like cool/room-temp water. Too cold and it hurts, too warm and it's disgusting.
That's not really a theory though, at least not in the context of what the channel is about. You're seeking an explanation for an observation, like asking why the sky is blue during the day and not at night. This video is about an "if" or "is", as in if there is actually something unique to Taco Bell that causes digestive distress. The fact that it seems to affect your bowels in general is already regularly observed. A slightly better question for your theory would be something more specific like "Do sodas actually taste better cold?"
As for your actual question, it's mostly about how the physical properties of the foods change as they heat/cool, and not the temperature itself. Oily or fatty foods may congeal or solidify as they cool, and a soda will lose carbonation as it warms up. A reheated tray of nachos won't taste the same as freshly made, despite being the same temperature and having all the same ingredients. The heating and cooling cycles change the physical (and to a lesser extent chemical) properties.
In total, MatPat used the word diarrhea 109 times throughout the video. The word was spoken 36 times, and appeared on screen 72 times. I spent an hour on this, so please don't let this go to waste. (Pun intended)
Edit: Welp. I was off by two. Congrats to the person who got pinned!

I'm 29 years old and I don't frequent taco bell that often, but I've literally never had any intestinal distress from eating there that wasn't related to the sheer volume of what I ate 😅😅
Even after eating a lot from there I don’t actually get any intestinal issues eating there either.
I’m 21 but my family went every couple weeks when I was growing up. I’ve NEVER been sick from it, either
Yeah I've never had diarrhea from Taco Bell yet I eat there somewhat often.
17 and i have no problems at all too
Me neither, honestly I have more issues with burger king than anywhere else.
So, when is MatPat going to do the Taco Bell challenge?
It’s been 2 years
The whistling in the back is driving me crazy!🤣
love how he says "its just a theory" after scientifically proving it
It’s his trademark essentially
Same. L.O.L.
yes he uses the word theory because he is using theoretical science, not experimental science.
scientific theory is different than how most people use the word
It’s the food theory trademark. Figured how to make a cake? Just a theory
0:16
He went in with the food 😂😂😂
Hey Mat did you ever clear your schedule and make that followup video comparing all of the different restaurants? 11:13
I used to giggle every time I heard the word "diarrhea." Have done since I was small. Your video has effectively cured me. Now I can listen to my great aunt talk about her ailments without being given the evil eye. Thanks, MatPat!
I'm happy for you 😆🤣🤣🤣
I used to be terrified of this word to the point of sweating and crying when I hear it, I am not that scared of it now, but I have never said the word in my life. So before I probably would have had a panic attack after watching this video
Diarrhea is a blessing, especially if you don't want to die on Toilet like Elvis.
@@basilellie1237 i still have never said it cause its a one of the random words I hate how makes my tongue feel when I say it, not cause of the meaning just the movement so I never plan to say it lol

Can you find out which restaurant has the highest calorie to dollar ratio? So if you only had five dollars, could you get all 2000 calories from a restaurant
yes please, that sounds like a fun episode
Yes! great idea!
This seems easy, surely? Challenge accepted
@@TheDramacist For only five dollars though? Depends where you live, food is really expensive in my area, like $20 for one pizza.
This sound great.
I think you just made me watch an entire ad before I realized it was an actual ad...even though you stated that it was, indeed, an ad at the very beginning of the ad. I'm, suddenly, questioning my entire existence.
My sister can't eat gluten, dairy, or eggs. Taco Bell has been one of the only places she can easily order food, because she can ask for a crunchy taco without cheese. The rest of us, as a result, end up eating there a lot as well. I think my colon has given up hope at this point.
Why don't you just cook food at home? Food prep is a thing. You can make super cheap meals that taste really good. I had roommates who had celiac and the other was vegan, which basically is what you described.
@@Sunny-ot1vo We do cook at home a lot, but if we ever decide to go somewhere for lunch or whatever it has to be Taco Bell
@about you no one cares shut up man
Uh sorry dude, Taco Bell dunked on you
Taco bell meat has gluten in it due to the gravy
I’ve never experienced this, but I’ve heard about it a million times.
Same here
it might also be the person. With me it's not taco bell that does it. it's Arby's roast beef that does it. Probably for all the reasons listed here. ( the bun, whatever is in their roast beef, and what ever is in the Arby's sauce and of course the drink. )
Same
Exactly I never get diarrhea besides when I get sick lol
Same
I love the intro matt:"does taco bell cause you to ohhhhhhhh!"

Can you do a video on “healthy” fast food aka all the salad options and stuff and see how “healthy” they actually are
I like that idea.
I remember having heard that a lot of tge "healthier" options really aren't all that much better, and some are actually _worse._ I'd love to see some hard numbers for or against that claim.
That would be cool
Yooo. That would be cool
I feel like if you are going to buy a salad from fast food, you might as well just make it yourself
i like it
i recently got the questions of is there a difference between the square wendy’s burgers and circular burgers of other fast food places? which one has a better volume for price? it’s a bit of a simple question but i am sure you could make it more interesting!!
Good question
It's a matter of production preferences ie. tubes of meat that get sliced into discs or sheets cut into squares. Much like making cookies or pasta
I worked a Wendy’s for a while and, according to the training vids, the patties are square because Wendy’s “does not cut corners.” Which I think is genius. XP

Theory: Taco Bell is working with toilet companies to earn more money

Probably not because most of houses will buy toilets for everyday pooping and pissing, so toilet companies are probably not working with taco bell.

Me neither
I could eat tacos for days and no MAXIMUM Blast has never happened
Same I honestly never knew why people say eating Taco Bell makes them sick cuz not once has this happened to me
I really want to see the video comparing Taco Bell to actual traditional Mexican food, because Taco Bell menu event tho is inspired in Mexican food, as a Mexican, I can notice a huge, really big difference in the taste and how it affects me (plus btw, we don't add many stuff to a Taco, normally it's just meat) I mean, here, we eat a lot of beans and salsa, a lot of salsa, in different foods. And it isn't common to have diarrhea while eating normally, so it will be interesting to see this. Great video!
I like Poco Locos more
That’s a good idea 👍
I’m pretty sure it’s because of the cheese
I mean I'm Mexican and we eat Mexican food pretty often ( obviously) my ma makes all the food and idk if its just that we got used to it but we've never had any stomach issues even when the food is really spicy we went to Chipotle once tho and my little brother and I threw up so idk

I've never had a problem with Taco Bell ever. Cast iron stomach or something. Crazy enough it was my favorite childhood food. The meme comes to mind of "Oh, Taco Bell makes you have diarrhea? Then you're weak, your bloodline is weak, and you will not survive the winter."
@BILLIE SAYS DUH ok bot
Same here, I can eat stale chicken without a problem, and things that make the rest of my family sick don't do jack to me
It's so weird to me that Taco Bell has this reputation, because I've never really had stomach problems after eating Taco Bell unless I eat too much and then it's the same as eating too much of anything. If anything Taco Bell has always been less likely to mess up my stomach than most other fast food.

I've heard some people claim that if a nuclear explosion went off, there would be a certain range from the blast in which a frozen pizza would be cooked to perfection. Is this true? And if so, what would that range be?
Not true at all, Kyle Hill did a youtube video on that (as well as slapcooking a chicken and million lions versus the sun) and long story short is that at one arbitrary distance it will get completely burnt to a crisp like a sitcom ruined-thanksgiving-turkey trope and just one pizza diameter past that it's still raw enough to refuse eating it (the radiation is going to be bad enough, you don't want to make things worse by inducing food poisoning too).
@@matthewlofton8465 you wouldn't need to put it one pizza diameter away cause you could put it sideways and use plasic wrap to keep the toppings from falling off so you can more precisely position the pizza and if you surrounded the pizza in metal it would block radioactive material form hitting the pizza while still letting heat through
Conventional knowledge would say that the short window makes cooking impossible - sufficient temperature to cook any depth properly in that tiny amount means anything closer to the surface will be burnt and anything deeper will nit be penetrated by the heat.
In other words, it's the standard '300° for 10 minutes/3000° for 1 minute' joke.

Hey Matt! Episode idea, what is the Taco Bell mystery meat?
I have a brilliant idea for a Food Theory Episode: Can the Chocolate Palace from Charlie and The Chocolate Factory be replicated in real time?
How long would it take?
How much would it cost?
How long until it would melt?
Would it melt during mid-construction? And if it was at risk of melting, what could possibly be done (if anything) to keep it from melting?

As someone who works at Taco Bell, I found this informative
Casually waiting for the "does microwaving cookie dough make it safe to eat" theory.
Safe everywhere not in the US
But to answer the question yes it is possible but you would need to heat it to a temperature where the bacteria (it's salmonella right?) dies or parasites if not bacteria not something I am concerned with as I live in Sweden. And depending on temperature needed you might be better of just putting it in the oven

true
Even the restaurants that claim to have Mexican food often get it wrong here in the states, the only time I actually had what I would honestly call authentic Mexican food was when I was working at a job where I had a lot of Latino people as co-workers, and I was fortunate enough to get an invite to the party and meal they put on for the baby shower of one of our co-workers. Everything had been prepped and waiting half the day, was mostly reheated in the microwave or in Crock-Pots. and it was *still* the best Mexican food experience I've ever had!

@@bland9876 Arkansas, and I guess maybe that's the wrong word, but it's more like they're all copy/pasting the same menu, or they "water it down" so to speak, just because they're trying to meet people's expectations for what those types of restaurants "should", in their opinion, have. There were only 2 items in that meal that I actually recognized as something restaurants around here have, at least sometimes, I used to watch a lot of food shows back in Bourdain and Zimmern's early days, and even now, I still couldn't tell you what most of those dishes were, aside from the fact that it was all delicious. I've seen a few small places try have the "more rare" dishes, and it's just kinda sad to me that it's those that don't seem to make it, unless they bend back to having the "familiar" items that most people think of as "Mexican".
@@chronosorion6911 I don't know what counts as real Mexican food but I had a friend who was Mexican and his family would make lots of different kinds of food both the regular stuff you hear about like burritos tamales tacos (soft shell) and she'd make other things les ls popular like she made what could only be described as a homemade hot pocket where the bread was entirely encasing some kind of meat also reminded me of a calzone but not pizza flavored at all and More Hot Pocket shaped. Yum
The only thing I avoided at their house was candy kids avoiding candy you know there's something wrong but I don't like peanut butter cinnamon challenge aka marzipan aka de la Rose
Can you do a theory on what the mystery flavor of air heads or do all skittles taste the same
😅this episode has me thinking why is my favorite flavour "spicy"
I’ve never had a problem with Taco Bell, I was actually scared to eat it for awhile because of how bad my friends made after Taco Bell sound. But I gave in, during a binge session, and it….did absolutely nothing to my stomach. And still had perfectly normal bowel movement later.
same, but I think that has to do with the fact that I'm not a fan of spicy foods and that I absolutely hate beans, so
Also don't have any issues with taco bell, but am also not a fan of spicy food and am allergic to beans
Same here I also hate beans but I like spicy food
I got food poisoning from Taco Bell
yea i think Laxtives are the answer for the taco bell's secret its in most people's food it helps you poop but i think a certain amount makes you have diarrhea and Taco bell have it in most people's tacos
"Looking at Taco Bell's Menu, you ain't finding any fruit on that puppy!"
Tomatoes would be fruits, and diced tomatoes are featured in a lot of taco bell items.
Yes and avocados are berries, so fruit there as well
Fruit as a feature that has lots of fructose aint on that menu... Avocado is low in fructose and tomato in the amount provided there is insignificant.
Ahahahahahahaahahaha as someone with IBS, gluten and lactose intolerance (along with another allergies and intolerances), I am dying just listening
That cold open 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
congrats on the GrubHub sponsorship! I can just imagine Mat rubbing his hands together going all "All according to plan" lol
Theory idea: Can your diet exist out of solely one food? And which food would be the best for that.
avocados. you can live off of them :)
History answered this for you.
It's potatoes because they contain the majority of your nutrients. Not all of them. You're still going to lack. But you're going to nail most of them. When in doubt, eat a potato.
Potatoes are S tier food
@@jamie1602 nice, got that one answered.
Depends on how you define "one food". If "pizza" counts as one food, then absolutely yes. If not, but genetic engineering is allowed, then just CRISPr a complete nutrition profile into whatever food you want and also some flavor varieties. Make custom potatoes that can taste like beef, bacon, pineapple, bananas, chili peppers, carrots, whatever you want and also have all the vitamins, minerals, and proteins you need to sustain yourself and then roast, fry, mash, stew, whatever you want to them.
Seeing "Fruitopia" on that pic of a soda fountain was a blast from the past.
As someone who has recently been diagnosed with pancreas insufficiency this has been really useful
Theory idea: how much watermelon do you have to eat to have your recommended daily in take of water? what about the recommended in take for a week? a month? a year?
I am entertained by this question😂😂 mattpat please!!!
I don't really like watermelon, and I know you will all about at me for that...
MatPat (or Austin I think) did a episode on Game Theory about if the Yiga Clans from Zelda can survive only by eating Banana, because that is well what they only eat, that video might give you some clues to your question.
Oh👁️〰️👁️ I like this theory
I love watermelon and eat too much of it, it can cause major diarrhea.
Honestly I can’t think of a single time Taco Bell did anything weird to my stomach. Been fine every time.
Same
Same
Same here
I pooped every time when i eat their food so I am not sure
Me neither. Then again, I've only eaten taco bell once, and it was LONG ago. So I don't remember
I honestly feel like it depends on the store and how they prepare but yeah I definitely had some bathroom issues with Taco Bell before lol same with those microwavable chimichangas
I love you food theorists 😍😍😍😍😍
That was so interesting
First
it really was
