Heat Lamp Tacos 2 for a dollar? Again?

I know it sounds like a dumb thing to write about, those Jack in the Box 2 tacos for a dollar. That is why I am writing this to make a dumb thing sound smart. The idea of getting fast food is for people who are in a hurry and don't want to go home and cook. I get that, but when I buy tacos I like 'em hot! Not setting underneath a heat lamp and room temp by the time I get home a few minutes later. So I done did it again. I went to a few places and stopped off first at Jack and bought 8 of those tacos and my wife and I had 4 a piece. Then stopped off at Wendy's to get those 99 cent vanilla frosties we both love so much. I saw the price of the medium and large and thought, 'How about just buying 3 for 99 cents and saving a few bucks? The lady at the counter took my order and filled up the 3 cups and began hunting down lids and found only 2. I suggested she just pour the 3rd small frosty into a large cup and put a lid on it and she agreed on this but the bonus was that she not only poured that 3rd small one into a large cup, she placed the cup under the milkshake machine and filled it all the way up to the top with more. It was only when we finally got home I found my fries and tacos not so hot but as hungry as we were we divided up the food and began to eat while watching Access Hollywood. The frosty was the best way to end that full meal deal. It was still cold and dreamy creamy and I of course used a spoon. I am not a Dyson you know. Straws do not do well for me with thick milk shakes. Spoons however do quite nicely.

Sometimes I like to indulge a bit without having my wife cook a meal.

I can imagine that under the heat lamp tepid taco. I guess you need to be really hungry to eat them that way. I'm glad the milk shake was better than you expected.

It has been awhile since I saw a Jack In The Box. The town 20 minutes away use to have one, then it closed.

I never really thought of the Wendy's things as a drink. They're too thick for that. Nice that you got extra, though!

They become drinkable after a good ride back home on a Texas road, on a warm spring day like today.
