    I actually get an upset stomach in the middle of the night, then the following day. The flavor is so good though.

    Things I learned...
    Some people actually know how to drive in the snow... Others still think their 4x4 or AWD helps when they drive like an idiot.

    Yep. Grew up in snow country and even there many folks just didn't get it.

    All cars/trucks come with four-wheel-braking.

    4WD/AWD just helps you get moving - doesn't change the coefficient of friction between rubber and ice.

    I grew up and live in snow country.
    Other important things for snow country drivers
    - chains or studded tires make a BIG difference in situations like that
    - If you have only 2 snow tires they go on the back wheels, yes even for FWD cars
    - Avoid driving in Darwin storms at ALL COSTS! Darwin storms are the first storms of the season where the idiot drivers get removed from the driving pool.

    Even with traction/chain laws. State patrol needs to enforce better. It's barely snowed this year but each time the highways get shut down

    Too many drivers brake when they should just let off the gas too. That always has a negative impact on a few cars trailing behind who just got up to speed and suddenly need to brake but on the top of a downhill.

    I like when people think a snow storm is a great time to bring out the RWD sports car. Even if they manage to keep it on the road, they're usually the ones holding everyone up when they can't take off after the red light.

    Taco Bell rolls out 'Lover's Pass' subscription service across US

    Taco Bell (YUM) is making its "Taco Lover’s Pass" subscription service available around the country.

    The California-based restaurant chain's Netflix-like, 30-day subscription service will be available exclusively on the Taco Bell app across the United States, expanding on a 2021 pilot program in Tucson, Arizona. Taco Bell is the latest food chain to steal a page from streaming with a subscription model, part of a bid to cultivate customer loyalty and more foot traffic in the pandemic era.

    For $10, U.S. customers can buy the pass on the app to access the 30-day subscription. Once purchased, customers will unlock a "secret category" on the app where they will be able to choose one of seven tacos per day, and redeem it at a restaurant location.

    The offer includes the following taco options: Crunchy, Crunchy Supreme, Soft, Soft Supreme, Spicy Potato Soft, Doritos Locos, and the Doritos Locos Supreme.

    Zipporah Allen, Taco Bell's chief digital officer, says this pass underscores the taco giant's "commitment to digital innovation and value."

    Saying that “tacos are in our DNA," Allen added that the pass is "a fun way to continue offering unique ways to reward our most loyal fans through our digital access points.”

    During the test period in Tucson, the company found that 20% of Pass purchasers were new to the Taco Bell Rewards Program; meanwhile, an additional 20% renewed it for a second time. And the most popular taco purchased by taco lovers was the the Doritos Locos Supreme.

    Taco Bell is one of many fast food giants, like McDonald's and Starbucks, looking to capitalize on digitalization to connect with its customers, and gain loyalty with special online-only offerings and deals.
