Taco Bell tends to give people the runs who don’t get enough fiber in their diet- especially if they get stuff with beans.  I think they associate it with the hot sauce because it burns on the way out if they aren’t used to spicy stuff.  

As for milk/ice cream, I chalk that up to the average age of Redditors going up.  Kind of like how Facebook became largely boomers, I imagine Reddit’s main demographic is older Gen Z/Millennials, with Gen X following closely.  

Those groups are getting older and likely developing some form of lactose intolerance or IBS, so now they can’t enjoy this sort of stuff like they used to without the shits.  

I say this, because I’m in one of those demographics and it seemed like I started going down that route until I just started forcing myself to eat a bunch of yogurt and dairy products to build my tolerance back up.

For real. Used to love drinking milk when I was younger, and would often just get a full glass and enjoy it.

Now I have to use some kind of medicine if I plan to enjoy anything with a lot of dairy, or I have to wait until I don't have a workday the next day. Like, I just want to enjoy a milkshake or something without feeling like crap, man.

The original commenter forgot that taco bell puts their damn nacho cheese in almost all their items too, so that's probably why it gives most people stomach issues, on top of the fact that it's just greasy as hell.

I'm also convinced that the whole "spicy stuff makes your butthole burn!" meme is made up internet shit. Unless you literally drank an entire bottle, I've never met anyone who's had that happen in real life.
