I don't often poll common negs, but 73% for Taco Bell shows a lot of us got burned guessing. On one of today's Celebrity Name Game episodes one of the answers was Baja Fresh just to add another name in the mix with Taco Bell and Del Taco.

According to Google the nearest Del Taco to my location is 261.35 miles, so it isn't surprising that I've never heard of it.

Strangely, Detroit/Toledo is the only consistent Del Taco market east of the Mississippi. I know they've previously been in South Bend, Atlanta (twice), and I think somewhere in TN.
Del Taco is a fast food Mexican chain, which would put it more in line with Taco Bell. Other fast food Mexican chains are Taco Maker, Taco Tico, Taco John's, Taco Bueno, Taco del Mar, Green Burrito, Taco Mayo...
Baja Fresh appears to be a "burrito assembly line" chain, which would put it more in line with Chipotle, Qdoba, Panchero's, etc.

I was going to say I've probably got you beat, but it looks like they recently opened a couple in Orlando. Still, the only time I've ever seen one was when I was out in CA.earendel wrote:According to Google the nearest Del Taco to my location is 261.35 miles, so it isn't surprising that I've never heard of it.

11 right, 76 negged with Taco Bell.
If that's not negbait, I don't know what is. Screw the writers for that cheap-ass "gotcha".

Did not include "explosives". I knew it wasn't Taco Bell but I didn't pull the trigger on Del Taco. I guessed the wrong Victoria to start but wouldn't have buzzed in.
