Sometimes you just want to eat like there’s no tomorrow. Like, a huge burger plus extra large sides and drinks. Whether you’re famished, celebrating a milestone or nursing a broken heart, you should find something you’ll love—and something huge—when you go to a fast food restaurant. For some reason, these places can cure hunger, a bad mood, or even mend a broken heart – at least temporarily!
One idea they’ve come up with that’s really, really good for just about everybody, is the combo meal, which consists of all your favorite food. Previously, restaurants would present customers with set meals, and you just have to choose between sets A, B, C, or D. Now, most of them will ask you to create your own mix, especially when you order online for delivery. You’ll easily find the different menu items that you can combine and order.
Here’s a quick list of fast food joints that have an incredible selection of food combos:
-
Taco Bell.
This company went all out with their meal combinations. You can practically make a Taco Bell box out of anything they have on the menu. Okay, so let’s try this. First, go to www.tacobell.com. On the left hand side, there’s a link list. Click ‘Combos.’ They’ll show the selection of main items, which will be your base in building the group, such as Quesalupa, Burrito Supreme, Crunchy Tacos Supreme, Mexican Pizza, Nachos Bellgrande, Crunchy or Soft Tacos, and many more.
Let’s choose the Smothered Burrito for $5.59 as an example for our Taco Bell Box. Click the ‘Build Combo’ link below the picture. You’ll be directed to another page where you can choose your drink, and see that you can get a Smothered Burrito Beef and Crunchy Taco. The fun part is that you can swap and customize these items if the other products suit you taste better.
