- Shiftgood, on 07/24/2008, -8/+213wtf... why am i getting all choked up about this!?
- hydroplane, on 07/24/2008, -13/+204I feel sorry for this dude's septic tank.
- inactive, on 07/24/2008, -3/+119We often ignore the elderly, put them out of our thoughts because they remind us that we are all going to be old and die. It's nice to see someone actually valuing the contributions of someone who, just by being a friendly little old man, brought joy to the lives of the people at this restaurant.
- elliotys, on 07/24/2008, -15/+92There are two type of people in this world.
People who hate Taco Bell, and people who love Taco Bell
To all you haters. . .STFU. - pauls88, on 07/24/2008, -7/+82I think he would have preffered some taco flavoured kisses.
TACO! TACO! BURITO BURITO! - ViperCTW, on 07/24/2008, -3/+67Dugg if only because it shows that you can eat fast food sensibly, in small portions, and not need a quadruple bypass
- wbeavis, on 07/24/2008, -2/+60must be the hot sauce
- units, on 07/24/2008, -0/+58he only ordered a taco supreme, an empanada, and a small drink. if you assume 12oz of regular soda, that brings the meal to 620 calories, according to taco bell's nutrition calculator. not terrible for an old man, but if that tiny order is 600 calories, imagine how bad what you're eating is.
- GorfTron, on 07/24/2008, -0/+52We should all note this. This is how to treat a regular.
- umbriago, on 07/24/2008, -14/+63I would have thought the guy would be unable to get out of bed because he weighed 800 lbs. from eating Taco Bell every day.
- Mightbiteyou, on 07/24/2008, -1/+49I would like to correct you sir, the two types are
People who love Taco Bell, and people who have not tried Taco Bell. - patricks, on 07/24/2008, -1/+37Taco Bell and Chipotle are two completely separate beasts.
When I want a decent fresh taco I go to Chipotle. When I want 4 pounds of cheese sauce and fried tortillas to soak up the scotch and beer in my tummy, I go to Taco Bell. - Infidelephant, on 07/24/2008, -3/+38He may have Alzheimer's - but at least he doesn't have Alzheimer's!
- noloveIII, on 07/24/2008, -0/+32? there are over 50 thousand people in Minnetonka I don't get the small town feeling there.
- mediaspree, on 07/24/2008, -0/+28He ate 1 taco.
- faatbuddha, on 07/24/2008, -2/+29That was really poorly written.
- shufan, on 07/24/2008, -15/+41He should try eating at Chipotle, he'll never go back.
- mttyd, on 07/24/2008, -5/+30This just in Taco Bell causes Alzheimer’s
- LonestarRanger, on 07/24/2008, -12/+36I bet he "runs for the border" of his toilet 24/7 as well.
- cawpin, on 07/24/2008, -5/+29He lives in a city. He doesn't have a septic tank.
FTA - "The workers at Taco Bell are so fond of Paul, they've exchanged birthday gifts with him and today, they nominated him as their "customer of the year.""
Customer of the century. - 3drage, on 07/24/2008, -8/+32Taco bell every day.... Alzheimer's hmmmm, wonder if there is a correlation there.
- EmmaExplosive, on 07/24/2008, -11/+33That is so Minnesotan. I'm not surprised. Minnetonka is so small you know everything about everyone. Dugg for being in MN.
- cyrix, on 07/24/2008, -1/+22The bottom line is that nobody knows. Nobody knows ***** about health. I know this because there was an article written a few years ago about a gentleman living in the bronx. The oldest man living in new york. 115 years old. Living by himself having no health problems, getting around with no trouble what so ever, mentally clear. And they asked him what his diet was and he said between the ages of 90 and 115 he narrowed his diet down, and it now consisted of bread fried in fat back and three gallons of thunderbird wine a week. When they asked him why he didn't fry his bread in bacon he said "because bacons too lean." Imagine if he had went to a doctor. Guy had been doing tremendously and if he sat there describing his diet the doctor would go "What the ***** the matter with you? You can't eat that anymore you have to start on a diet of fruits and vegetables." And he would have, and he would have been dead in a WEEK!

- orlandorays, on 07/24/2008, -1/+19Everything in moderation, my friend.
- crombat, on 07/24/2008, -0/+18"Wolfe, also known as Grandpa Paul, is a faithful customer at the Minnetonka Taco Bell located off of Highway 7. He’s been eating there daily for close to 70 years. When he first started eating there, Taco Bell was known as Zantigos."
http://www.myfoxtwincities.com/myfox/pages/News/De ... - Kidtuf, on 07/24/2008, -0/+15I see what you did there...
I see what you did there... - superfuxxorr, on 07/24/2008, -0/+14someone should tell this guy about the crunchwrap supreme
- kazoomaloo, on 07/24/2008, -0/+13True dat. If I recall, Minnetonka is mostly full of really rich-ass people who want to live by the lake. Not the most heartwarming town...
- evilregis, on 07/24/2008, -0/+13I would've gone with: People who love Taco Bell and people who won't admit that they ***** LOVE Taco Bell.
- donnie0darko0, on 07/24/2008, -0/+12In the soul sucking existence that is fast food employment, sometimes it's the simple things that really make a difference. Anyone who has dealt with customers for any reason knows that 99.99% of people are *****, so it's especially nice when you get to deal with someone who is actually kind. That's what this is about, I think. That it is Taco Bell in particular is moot.
- D3ADBOLT, on 07/24/2008, -12/+24Did they buy him a new toilet?
- gaqua, on 07/24/2008, -1/+11Well said. How many people do you know that go to Taco Bell and order just a taco supreme, empanada, and a small drink?
Every time I go there it's like my friends decide they have to inhale 4 separate products, Chalupas, Burritos, Nachos, Mexican Pizza, Crunchwrap Supreme, whatever the hell. - bobartig, on 07/24/2008, -0/+10He'd never go back to either. One of their mammoth burritos would last him the rest of his days.
- tcorlen, on 07/24/2008, -0/+10Grandpa, trying to decide where to go each day: "I think I'll try Taco Bell today; I've never been there before."
- kwasmosis, on 07/24/2008, -1/+11Cause it's super heart wrenching awesomeness!
- ncc74656m, on 07/24/2008, -5/+14Ok, bad health choices, but c'mon, he is 89, so he must know something we don't. This is seriously like one of the cutest stories ever.
- Infidelephant, on 07/24/2008, -0/+9Including moderation.
- sockpuppets, on 07/24/2008, -2/+11Psssst... you *are* nuts.
- ubuwalker31, on 07/24/2008, -0/+9Dude, at his age, you'll do anything to replace prunes to make it flow.
- TJMcWhiskers, on 07/24/2008, -0/+8not anymore, nice try though
- tillerman00, on 07/24/2008, -1/+9Weird, that's the same thing I gave your mom.
- patricks, on 07/24/2008, -1/+9Seriously, Cheesy Fiesta Potatoes are the hidden gem of that menu. No Taco Bell meal is complete without at least one order.
- Procure, on 07/24/2008, -0/+8Agreed. I live in Eden Prairie and its about the same size as Minnetonka. Not a small-town feeling at all.
- tava0002, on 07/24/2008, -3/+10Minnetonka is full of pompous blowhards, except for this old guy, well, I guess I don't know he might be pompous too. Unfortunately, I'm going there this weekend.
- Someguy101, on 02/19/2009, -0/+7Something similar happened with my Grandpa. When he died at his funeral we had a table with various things that were special to him, a picture of his family, a chess board, a copy of Starcraft (He actually died playing on battle.net, me and my cousin saved his final replay), among other things. While looking at all the stuff on the table I saw a certificate of recognition signed by the entire staff at the local McDonalds. I didn't know this but apparently my Grandpa would visit McDonalds every day to get an ice cream cone. The certificate named him as their official Ice Cream tester.
- Cuchanu, on 07/24/2008, -0/+7We were all thinking it.
- ToRoE, on 07/24/2008, -0/+6The only 'regular' I remember for the restaurant days (we had an all you can eat salad bar) was the skinny gal that used to come in a and sit near the restrooms. She ate 4-5-6 plates over a hour or so. (yeah it's what your thinking.)
Even crazier is she had a rotation of all our different restaurants, going to one on Wednesday, a different one on Thursday, etc. .
She didn't last to long. Hopefully she got some help, and she looked like hell...
Now, time for some Qdoba!
- Ryan2845, on 07/24/2008, -1/+7He'd would have died by now eating chipotle daily.
Theres like 1200 more calories and a ton more fat in a chipotle burrito than in his little taco bell meal. - FeloniusMonkey, on 07/24/2008, -1/+7Have I ever given props to a fast food restaurant before? Go Taco Bell... good PR!
