The term "job creators" does get flung around, doesn't it? Usually, silver-spoon executives with fake tans claim to be them, but anything can be one - like a taco. Not kidding on that one, as Taco Bell had to employ 15,000 additional people as a result of the Doritos Locos line of tacos.
Good plan
Amazon founding investor Nick Hanauer was recently on those "TED" Talks. He explained that businesses do not create jobs so much as consum-ers do.
If people want a commodity, that demand gives rise to producing a chain of supply. Executives and venture capitalists, in essence, have their careers produced by the de-mand.
Apparently, executives were offended, so the footage was buried. You can still find it on YouTube though.
He had a point. Taco Bell just proved it. Ever hear of those "Doritos Locos" tacos, where they use Dor-itos chips to make a taco shell? According to the Daily Mail, they've proven so popular that it's added 15,000 careers to Taco Bell payrolls.
Over 300 million taco followers can't be wrong
The correlation between a taco and 15,000 jobs being created was not quite explained by Taco Bell, and most likely because it does not make sense. It seems silly that so many jobs would come from one item on the menu.
That aside, the tasty treats were a great success. After test runs in restricted locations went well, Taco Bell rolled them out nationwide. Over 2012, 375 million were sold and that many taco fans cannot be wrong. It accounted, according to the Christian Science Monitor, for almost a quarter of Taco Bell's taco sales.
It costs under $2 to get the Dorito taco, which means you do not need a whole lot of personal cash to get the taco. It has 160 calories and 10 grams of fat in the Na-cho Cheese flavor. The Cool Ranch flavor, recently launched, has 140 calories and 7 grams of fat.
Taco greater than a ta-co
Lord knows why Doritos Locos are such a big deal. It's just a taco for crying out loud. However, the so-cial networks are going absolutely ridiculous over it. Same thing with the McRib; it's prac-tically pork gelatin slathered in barbecue sauce on a terrible bun. Are we this bored as a culture that THIS is what it's come down to?
Maybe this wonderful modern day IS that dull.
