Taco Bell
Taco Bell is a real restaurant franchise seen in Season Sixteen episode, "Cash For Gold".
Background
In "Cash For Gold", Stan Marsh tried to sell his bolo tie, a gift from his grandfather, to various Cash for Gold stores around town. Unsuccessful from the first several stores, he went to the local Taco Bell to see how much they would give him for the tie. The cashier verified it with a magnifying glass and said it is worth a "six layer burrito". Kyle argued with the cashier by stating that Taco Bell does not serve six layer burritos. The cashier, looking annoyed, replied, "Fine, a seven layer burrito! But that's as high as I am going." Finding this unacceptable, and realizing this bolo tie was worthless, Stan was forced to leave with the bolo tie.
In "Ass Burgers", a corporate executive of Taco Bell, along with representatives of McDonald's, KFC, Pizza Hut, Burger King, Subway, and Chic-Fil-A, discuss their grievances with Cartman Burger. He, along with the rest of the fast-food representatives, is later killed when their failed attempt to get the recipe leads to a drunken melee with the Secret Society of Cynics.
