Taco Bell Innovations! Crunchwrap! Doritos Locos Taco! How Do They Keep Inventing Such Products? Is Taco Bell Cool? What's Its Role In Society?

The Best Paragraph I've Read: Taco Bell’s food-innovation staff, which includes sixty developers, focusses on big questions: How do you make a Cheez-It snack cracker big enough to be a tostada? What are the ideal Cheez-It dimensions to guarantee that the tostada won’t crack inconveniently when bitten into? Or consider the Doritos Locos Taco: What safeguards can be implemented to prevent the orange Doritos dust from staining a consumer’s hands or clothing? Can fourteen Flamin’ Hot Fritos corn chips be added to the middle of a burrito and retain their crunch? Can a taco shell be made out of a waffle, or a folded slab of chicken Milanese? These are all problems of architecture and scalability; fast food is assembly, not cooking. This paragraph comes from The New Yorker. The article is titled: "Taco Bell's Innovation Kitchen, The Front Line In the Stunt-Food Wars." The author is Antonia Hitchens.
