Dan's Old Ride

Place: Del Taco
Lunch: Macho taco (no salsa), 2 chicken soft tacos, Del Beef burrito, original Mr. Pibb (put it in your head)

So I get my drink cup and it says "WIN DAN'S RIDE". It's a promotional contest to win a Dodge Charger. I was surprised to see this because "Dan", Del Taco's commercial spokesman, was let go like TWO YEARS AGO.

So why are they running a contest?

Turns out, they're not. The game rules clearly state the contest ended in 2006.

They're using up old drink cups.

What makes that even weirder is that this Del Taco just opened maybe a month ago.

THAT doesn't look terribly professional, does it.

What they DO have that's new is "Del Inferno" hot sauce. Del Inferno has regulated Del Scorcho hot sauce to the second hottest available condiment at Del Taco.

My experience is, the hotter the sauce, the less the flavor. But Del Inferno has a distinct flavor to it.

AND quite a kick, I must say.
