Chow "The Meal Between Dinner & Breakfast"
Posted by Dominic Holden on Tue, May 18, 2010 at 3:29 PM
Taco Bell is still inflicting the notion of Fourthmeal (oneword) on us:
Did you know that "breakfast" is a compound word comprising "break" and "fast"? True story. But you can't break your fast if you're eating all night. Aghghgh. This is so infuriating, I... I want to get wasted tonight and inhale a deep-fried burrito pizza.
In other news, Taco Bell is also promoting the "Drive Thru Diet."

I love Taco Bell. I'd eat it every day for every meal if it wouldn't kill me. I'll probably do this when I am 60. 22 more years to go!

If it weren't for the sodium content, those "healthy" options they're promoting wouldn't actually be so bad.
That TM next to "fourthmeal" makes them look like such cunts.

Twas but two years ago this week that Denny's tried the same thing. http://www.cornichon.org/2008/05/overnig…

...It was just as if somebody inside him were saying, “Now then, Pooh, time for a little something.”
“Dear, dear,” said Pooh, “I didn't know it was as late as that...”

I'm pretty sure the people who eat "fourth meal" aren't eating breakfast, so it's really just a different third meal.

Remember when "Super Size Me" came out, and fast food joints where scrambling to make their menus seem like less of a death sentence? That didn't last long.

@11- good point, they probably sleep through breakfast. still might squeeze four meals in though. some advise up to six smaller meals. i have enough trouble keeping up with two or three. eating is a hassle- guess that's why they have drive-thru.
@2- is 60 really when you want to go downhill? you should be old enough to see how much life can be left after that. better to just eat crap when you're a kid and can have a chance to recover. supposedly fat/plaque starts accumulating in blood vessels around age 10.

I just downed half a Vince's extra large...sausage and mushroom.
Buuurrrrppp...and no, I don't want a taco.

For what it's worth, I was familiar with "fourthmeal" in boarding school, well before Taco Bell began using it. That's the term we all used for the week-nightly offering of milk and cereal in the dining hall from 9-10 p.m. (after study hall, before bedtime). Ah, memories.
