Taco Bell Hired 15,000 Thanks To Doritos Locos

By Cornelius Nunev


One of the terms that gets flung around, especially during presidential campaign seasons, is "job creators." A lot of things can be job makers, evidently even tacos as Taco Bell's Doritos Locos tacos apparently added 15,000 jobs to Taco Bell's payrolls.

Good plan

Ever watch those "TED" Talks? It's basically a series of symposiums where wealthy people talk about things in front of other prosperous people. One was debatable. Nick Hanauer, a venture capitalist and founding buyer in Amazon, said that business people weren't really job makers - customers are.

Careers are produced by demand, so individuals have to demand thing if they want an increase chain of supply.

You can see the footage on YouTube, though it was buried in the TED footage.

He had a point. Taco Bell just proved it. Ever hear of those "Doritos Locos" tacos, where they use Dor-itos chips to make a taco shell? According to the Daily Mail, they've proven so popular that it's added 15,000 careers to Taco Bell payrolls.

One taco for 15,000 careers

The correlation between a taco and 15,000 jobs being created was not quite explained by Taco Bell, and most likely because it does not make sense. It seems silly that so many jobs would come from one item on the menu.

Taco Bell came out with the new taco nationwide and sold over 375 million during 2012. That is a lot of supporters of the taco, according to the Christian Science Monitor. Almost a quarter of all Taco Bell sales came from the one taco.

It costs under $2 to get the Dorito taco, which means you do not need a whole lot of personal money to get the taco. It has 160 calories and 10 grams of fat in the Na-cho Cheese flavor. The Cool Ranch flavor, recently launched, has 140 calories and 7 grams of fat.

Evidently a big deal

Just like the McRib, people are going absolutely crazy over the Doritos tacos. It does not make any sense and is really type of gross when you think about it, but apparently people love it.

Maybe this wonderful modern day IS that dull.
