Newsflash: Dan Likes Sour Cream

Dan officially likes sour cream now. It won't matter because he'll likely die from ordering 1 of every regular menu item at Taco Bell.

I call bs, where is your source?

It's a Christmas miracle!

He bought $91 worth of taco bell and is giving each item a score 1-100.

UPDATE: Dan just realized he ordered a lot of food. Too much food for one person.

"This might have been a bad idea."

@telliot: Really thought one of everything would have been more expensive.

One of those things with a not-so-great name that actually tastes so good.

That people care so much about Dan's eating habits is fucking baffling to me.

Maybe it is the camera, but I just started watching and he looks ill. No way he'd survive 5 years of Taco Bell.

This kind of slander against Dan's brand will not be tolerated.

I honestly feel slightly sick thinking about the amount of this trash Dan is eating.

"Soft Taco" - isn't that just a wrap?

I tuned in, hoping for a replay, and he is still doing it.

He's not using the full scale. He doesn't belong at Giant Bomb.

Dan is a god-damn lunatic to continue eating after this, though it is better than his other ideas of giving them half eaten to the homeless or a dog.

Here's a link to the transcript I took down, with his ratings. Someone can sort the info properly.

Not really. A soft taco is a taco with a soft tortilla. It isn't folded or closed; it's open faced. Wrap typically wrap the entire contents up.

Good on him. Sour cream is great. Go to a real taco truck, grab a quesadilla and dip it in sour cream.

Feel bad for the people working at that Taco Bell. He should've called ahead of time as a courtesy!

Best part is where he eats about $90 of Taco Bell, looks exhausted, then heads to the fridge and takes out an entire bucket of Ben & Jerry's ice cream with the apparent intention of eating it, along with going back to some of his "favorites" he didn't finish eating as part of the test.

You have to admire Dan for not being completely obese. The amount of working out he has to do to burn all this shit off is not insubstantial. I ate some cake and what have you at a Birthday today and had to run for over an hour to burn an equivalent amount of calories off. Can't even imagine how much cardio you have to do to burn all this junk food off. Technically when I was in college I ate a ton of it and didn't really get fat but thats probably because I didn't eat a whole lot to begin with and worked two jobs.

@insidioustuna: I made a Google Spreadsheet that has it nice and sorted but I think I wasn't paying attention for a rating. I'll cross reference and it should be fixed!

He will be missed

Okay I understand the distinction (had to google a couple images to make sure I understood). Still I think saying "an open wrap" is more descriptive than "a soft taco" because the former implies the tortilla (rather than some sort of soft corn shell that the latter first brings up to me).

@theht: Exactly, and there a lot of opposite situations too. Like sweet potatoes, which are disgusting.

@dixavd: Soft tacos are the original tacos.

You don't say.

I'LL FIGHT YOU

@humanity:He said he ran 8 miles earlier in the day. Credit where it's due, he's always said that he exercises a lot to get away with eating like an asshole.

@naed_: Thank you! I knew the community would perform its weird sabermetrics with data, like always. I just decided to keep a running tally. I'll get back to actual homework and let you guys take it from here! Have fun!

Sour cream by itself IS gross, but so are a million other ingredients. It's about making good food taste better, and sour cream does that for a bunch of stuff.

I've heard a lot of food blasphemy on this site.. but never in all my years..

Sweet potatoes at that!

"I'm going to take these leftovers in a bag downtown and give them to homeless people like Johnny Appleseed."

@bwheeeler: Don't restaurants always have the right to refuse outlandish orders? It's up to the people running the place at the specific time. Honestly, Dan probably got lucky.

"This is too much food for one person" - Dan Ryckert

I want to get taco bell now.

@bwheeeler: If he called ahead, they wouldn't have made it, because they reasonably would have assumed it was a prank. The only reason they made it is because he kept insisting it wasn't a prank and he was willing to pay for it all immediately.

@insidioustuna: Haven't the homeless suffered enough?

Dan is a soldier.

Sweat potatoes taste like someone found some rotting potatoes, mashed them up, and mixed in some artificial sweetener to attempt to make them taste better.

@telliot: At the 18 minute mark Dan discovers something new.

Yeah but you have to be careful when you get items with sour cream in them at Taco Bell. Take the 5 layer burrito for instance. It is the best burrito but sometimes they fuck up the sour cream distribution and it all goes to one end. Then you will get a bite or two of nothing but sour cream and tortilla. That shit sucks.

Sometimes when I go to Chipotle they put in TOO MUCH SOUR CREAM and it's the worst

@flasaltine: You also have to be careful if you're going to have leftovers, reheating sour cream (and guac most times) rarely turns out well.

Someone who is more familiar with Mexican cuisine can correct me, but I think taco's are typically "soft". I think Taco Bell only makes the destination because their hard shelled taco's are more popular. I've always found it weird to call it a "soft taco" because to me, taco's are always soft.

I used to hate sweet potatoes, but then I had some amazing sweet potato fries and forgave them. I still won't eat any kind of mashed sweet potato, but I won't say no to some good sweet potato fries.

@rongalaxy: You don't eat condiments by itself. That would be like eating ketchup or mustard by itself.

Dan is literally wasting money. This should have been Premium Content! Brought to you by Taco Bell.

Also around 19 minutes in is when Dan has his sour cream realization. It is hilarious.

@personandstuff: @ssully: Yeah looked it up and it seems the original was the soft one. I've never seen a soft taco, only ever hard tacos and burritos/wraps. Maybe it's because I'm in the UK and Mexican cuisine probably came over via the US and in the translation the hard taco could have become the norm.

It only cost him $90 too! What a deal!

Did he give anything a score below 80?

hey remember when Danny or Jason or whoever it was said that Dan can't admit when he's been bullheaded and wrong and will only do it on his own terms?
