This Week in Taco Bell is For the Win’s weekly roundup of Taco Bell news and the internet’s foremost source of aggregated Taco Bell content.

OK, so they’re not, like, humanoid robots of the terrifying variety pictured above. But Taco Bell is testing an add-on to the popular workplace messaging app Slack that allows users to order Taco Bell from something called “TacoBot.” Here’s what it will look like, from Taco Bell’s website:

And an explainer:

It’s simple. Tacobot is a new friend and should be treated as such upon a quick install. Start asking it questions about our menu, see how it’s feeling or find out what its favorite movie is. From there connect your ta.co account, choose your pickup location and order up your favorite Taco Bell item. Tacobot is ready to serve!… Tacobot is currently in private beta mode & getting ready for prime time. We’ve given the folks at Giphy, FullScreen, Thought Catalog, FoodBeast, SAV Studios and others to help TacoBot grow into all it can be. Think your Slack team is ready to contribute to TacoBot’s artificial intelligence? Then fill out the form below and get considered for the next round – because the more we can positively influence the robots now the better chance we’ve got at survival once they take over.

Wait just one minute. This site uses Slack for all its internal communications, and you will note that no place on the above list of TacoBot previewers will you find For the Win. What the heck, Taco Bell? Not cool. Has anything about For the Win‘s content suggested it is not dedicated to improving your products and your brand? I’m not going to lie: This hurts. I will get over it and eat Taco Bell again, but my Cheesy Gordita Crunch will be seasoned with fresh tears. I really thought we had something here.

Considering Taco Bell’s plainly inhuman treatment of this site and this author, I am now left wondering who is currently running the show now down at 1 Glen Bell Way. Could it be that the robots have already taken over? Part of me hopes so, especially if it means employing artificial intelligence to create new Taco Bell menu items that combine beef, cheese, lettuce and tortilla in forms that are currently incomprehensible to our pathetic human minds. But the other part of me worries that the Taco Bell robots will soon recognize the uselessness of humans and turn on us, denying us the beautiful, Utopian future they will create in which all civilization is replaced by cheesy, melty, crunchy Taco Bell stuff perpetuating itself forever.

Point is, I’m conflicted. This seems like it might be so cool, but until I’m ordering tacos from robots, I am going to assume it is thoroughly uncool. But there’s good news ahead:

Here’s how to make Taco Bell at home

Some jokes NSFWish, if you work someplace super touchy. The YouTube chefs at Brothers Green Eats made a video demonstrating how to recreate everything at Taco Bell at home. Unsurprisingly, it all looks totally delicious. It also looks like a lot of work, when meanwhile I can just walk to Taco Bell and get the same thing without having to buy a whole thing of dehydrated onion flakes. Just saying. Obviously these guys seem like heroes, and if they want to come to my apartment and make me Taco Bell, they are welcome.

And now, a stunning piece of Taco Bell journalism

How Fort Collins came to have a Taco Bell in a house: https://t.co/fDj1Wid0UA pic.twitter.com/Tw1vTguuEm — Coloradoan (@coloradoan) April 7, 2016

At The Coloradan, Erin Udell dives extremely deep into the backstory of a Fort Collins, Colo. Taco Bell built into an existing Spanish-style home in 1993. The whole story, which details the conflict between city planners and Taco Bell franchisees over the house’s future when the latter wanted to knock it down and turn it into a more traditional Taco Bell, is well worth reading. An excerpt:

“They came in and asked about what the process would be (to tear it down). We had a meeting with them, and we said, ‘Well, the process would be that we don’t want the house torn down,'” said Ted Shepard, now Fort Collins’ chief planner. “Together, we sort of approached them and said we think we have a better idea for you,” Shepard added. “Because this house is Spanish mission, why tear down the real thing and build the fake thing?”… Remodeling the Mawson house to make it into a Taco Bell cost the company $360,000, according to the article. They built an addition on the back, where the kitchen is located, and turned the old bathroom window into the drive-thru window. “It worked out beautifully,” Tunner said, adding that the company told her it was the first time a Taco Bell had been placed inside a residence. The city of Fort Collins later received a chapter award from the American Planning Association in Colorado for its historic preservation efforts.

Again, read the whole thing. As a Taco Bell journalist, I find this story inspiring. Maybe if I wrote Taco Bell stories like this one, Taco Bell wouldn’t ignore me when it thinks up people to try out its new technologies.

True story: There used to be an extremely weird Taco Bell built into the back of a typical Midtown Manhattan deli on 3rd Ave., and I always thought about figuring out what the deal was with that weird Taco Bell and writing an article about it headlined, “What’s the deal with that weird Taco Bell?” But then that weird Taco Bell closed, and so the article never happened. It was a pretty awesome Taco Bell, though, in that it served Taco Bell. Also, because the deli delivered, it was a Taco Bell that delivered long before that became a thing.

Here’s a photo of the author eating Taco Bell inside that weird Taco Bell:

You can see from my Taco Bell cup and my Beefy Nacho Loaded Griller that it’s obviously a Taco Bell, but you can also see the deli counter in the background, plus some dude. I miss that Taco Bell and I wish I investigated it while it was still open.

Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
