Two months ago I was feeling kinda sleazy-hungry, so I went into the drive-thru for some 1:55 AM Taco Bell, gave the window dude a beer as a gesture of goodwill (it had been left in my car from a Ukranian post-doc I gave a ride home earlier in the evening) and he was kind enough and probably 19 years old enough to waive my bill and say to me "You're the pimp!!!"

OK U GUYS

hardee's used to be it's own thing. 1n 1997 it was bought by carl's jr. at which point the hardee's food was replaced by the carl's jr food, making them de facto carl's jrs. in some cases the name was changed too.

Hardee's today
In 1997, the chain was acquired by CKE Restaurants, the parent company of the Carl's Jr. fast-food restaurant chain. (Imasco retained the few remaining Roy Rogers locations, though CKE is reported to do some supplying of them). In 1996 and 1997 CKE Restaurants bought out the remaining Burger Chef stores in the United States and converted those in the Eastern part of the country to the Hardee's brand. Over time, some Hardee's restaurants were converted to serve the relatively higher-quality hamburgers and other products available from Carl's Jr., and also took on the Carl's Jr. star logo in the process. Some locations were simply fully-rebranded Carl's Jr..
CKE Restaurants has been dual branding some Hardee's locations with Red Burrito, similar to its Green Burrito/Carl's Jr. dual brand concept.

no, this is fascinating to me, when i worked in London this girl i knew LOVED the T-Bell and would take a 30 minute tube ride to zone 3 or 4 west london to go to it. she claimed it was an experimental taco bell and that if it failed they would never enter the UK market.

she was a head case and sometimes i suspected this taco bell didnt really exist.

In India, where Hindu and Islamic Sharia dietary laws prohibit Hindus from eating beef and Muslim from eating pork, the Big Mac was renamed the Maharaja Mac and was originally made with lamb instead of beef; however, along with the company's other meat items it is now made from chicken.

mikeoptins, I used to work w/ an American guy at the Rec + Tape Exchange and every day he wld travel on the tube from Notting Hill Gate to Earls Court to have lunch at the Taco Bell there

there was also briefly a branch of Taco Bell on Coventry St, near the Trocadero in central London, but it closed pretty quickly. There also used to be a Wendys v. nearby, but sadly they too failed to 'catch on' here in Britishes

McD's has the best hot fresh fries, but if the fries are likely to be cool, Wendys' are better.

Beer has diuretic qualities, i.e. it increases your urine excretion more than the same amouny of water would.

-- Tuomas (lixnix...) (webmail), February 20th, 2007 5:51 PM. (Tuomas) (link)

no wonder i pee so much when drinking!!!!

-- hm (mi...) (webmail), February 20th, 2007 5:52 PM. (modestmickey) (link)

The diuretic action of beer is due to the hops resin, which stimulates the kidneys, thereby contributing to the elimination not only of excess water in the body, but also of wastes and toxins. The sedative action of the hops joined with the calorific effect of the alcohol make beer a light and pleasant sleep-inducing beverage. Beer is also known to be a remedy against itself: the unpleasant memory of an evening spent drinking a little too much can become a thing of the past with the absorption of one glass of very cold pale beer, such as a pils.
