The rumors regarding Taco Bell’s demise have proved to be false, according to the manager at the local McDermott location. The popular chain was rumored to be shutting down after the alleged discovery of dog and cat meat in the beef. However, this has proven incorrect, and the restaurant will remain open for business.
Many students discovered the rumor as it quickly spread through social media sites such as Twitter, Facebook, and the iPhone picture app Instagram.
“I saw someone post something on Twitter that said Taco Bell was closing, but I didn’t see why,” sophomore Julia Carder said. “I was very upset because I am a regular customer.”
Although it isn’t known for being the healthiest of fast food options, Taco Bell still remains a favorite among many students who are glad not to be losing the quick and cheap tacos they have grown to know and love. But for others, the rumors themselves are enough to make them stay away.
“I didn’t eat there in the first place and I definitely would not eat there now,” sophomore Britton Archer said.
Despite the opinions of some and the rumors sweeping the social media world, the popular taco chain will not be shutting down.
