Taco Bell's got competition in Arizona. The buzz about the new Mexican restaurant in Scotsdale, Arizona is that it just might get a liquor license. If that happens, the Pink Taco restaurant just might smother Taco Bell.
Really, the controversy surrounds the name of the restaurant: Pink Taco. Apparently some people that live in Scotsdale are angry about the restaurant's name because it's a slang term for...erm...a female body part.
The restaurant retorted by saying that the name is base upon one of its menu items. Yup -- right next to the chode salad, you'll find the pink taco.
So, this article got me thinking. I know, I know, that's dangerous. But really, what is the big deal? So people want a little pink taco now and again. Can you blame them? Can you really? And isn't calling your restaurant pink taco a lot better than calling it "Pussy's?"
This all made me think about a t-shirt that Amulet's fiancee bought for The Antidote. It's grey with yellow lettering on it that reads, boldly: VAGITARIAN.
Anyhoo, back on topic. This article did get me thinking about other fast food battles that might make the headlines:
Pizza Hut v. Pizzie Hut
Arby's v. Arbella's
McDonald's v. McDoobies, or McFlabble's
Wendy's v. Wenda's
Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

How about some Thai food at the Pooh Ping Palace? Mmmmmm.
I never knew how to spell "chode" until today. Thank you.
I don't know about any of that, but at Kent State, we used to call it "Toxic Hell".
I would eat at The Pink Taco everyday. I just love play on words. Have you heard of the new energy drink? It can be found at

In the UK, a slang term for ass or butt is "Box".
I don't need to change the name of one famous chain of restaurants to cause a stir.
"Jack In The Box" has seriously lewd connotations over here. We laugh out loud when we hear it.
I'm surprised no one brought up Long john Silvers (take out fried food enporium)versus Long Dong Silver (incredibly large porn star).
Siren: I love it. I'd eat there...never. :-)
Egan: You are welcome. I'm here to teach.
Debbie: We called it Taco Smell, Taco Hell...any stupid play on words. But we still ate there.
Fuzz: That link is HILARIOUS! Oh my god...
Ben: Ok -- that's one of the funniest things I've heard. I had no idea....(silly American...)
Ella: We left it wide open for you to bring up. :-)
I think I'd rather just use pictures to name a restaurant...
A rooster and a kitten, perhaps.
It's a little more subtle, but I think it would get the message across to the right people.
