==History==
===Founding and growth===
[[Glen Bell]], a former [[Marine (military)|Marine]], began the chain with his first restaurant in [[San Bernardino, California]]. He named it Bell's Drive-in. Glen Bell was 23 when he left the Marine Corps in 1946. He was an avid Mexican food take-out customer. Aware of the hang-ups in ordering tacos to go from a full-service restaurant, he wanted to change the method of preparation. He began by selling various hot dogs, including a chili dog in a Mexican neighborhood. At the same time, he researched tacos. Glen Bell sold the El Tacos to his partners and built the first Taco Bell in Downey in 1962. Kermit Becky, a former Los Angeles police officer, bought the first Taco Bell franchise in 1964. Dane Stephenson established the first Taco Bell in New Jersey in 1964. Bell passed away on January 17, 2010 at 86 years old.


===Taco Bell Express===
In 1991, Taco Bell opened the first Taco Bell Express in [[San Francisco, California]]. This concept is a reduced-size restaurant with a limited menu (primarily items priced under $1), meant to emphasize volume.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://news.google.com/newspapers?id=zH4UAAAAIBAJ&sjid=QwMEAAAAIBAJ&pg=2092,5565453&dq=taco-bell-express|title=Taco Bell Express makes fast food look slow|date=1991-11-21|work=Toledo Blade|accessdate=2009-07-11}}</ref> Taco Bell Express locations operate primarily inside [[convenience store]]s, [[truck stop]]s, [[mall]]s, and [[airport]]s.

== Controversies ==
In November 2006, Taco Bell made local headlines when 22 customers were sickened by the ''[[E. coli]]'' bacteria. The bacteria was traced to three [[New Jersey]] restaurants. While some people were hospitalized, none were severely harmed.<ref>{{cite news | title = E. Coli Outbreak Linked To Taco Bell | url = http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/12/04/health/main2227678.shtml | date = 2006-12-04 | publisher = "CBS News" | accessdate = 2009-03-15 }}</ref>

In February 2007, Taco Bell again made headlines when a Taco Bell/[[Kentucky Fried Chicken|KFC]] restaurant in [[Manhattan]] was overrun by rats; footage of the rodents scurrying about were shown on news shows around the globe. The location was closed by order of the [[Department of Health]] until the issues were resolved. The outbreak prompted the closure of several additional Taco Bell restaurants throughout the [[Northeastern United States]].<ref>{{cite news | title = Taco Bell rats are stars for a day | url = http://money.cnn.com/2007/02/23/news/companies/taco_bell/ | date = 2007-02-23 | publisher = "CNN" | accessdate = 2009-03-15 }}</ref>

=== Coalition of Immokalee Workers ===
In March 2005, the [[Coalition of Immokalee Workers|Coalition of Immokalee Workers (CIW)]] won a landmark victory in its national boycott of Taco Bell for human rights. Taco Bell agreed to meet all of the coalition's demands to improve wages and working conditions for [[Florida]] tomato pickers in its supply chain.<ref>{{cite news | title = Taco Bell Boycott Victory - A Model of Strategic Organizing | url = http://www.witherspoonsociety.org/taco_bell_boycott.htm | date = 2005-08-24 | publisher = witherspoonsociety.org | accessdate = 2009-03-23 }}</ref>

After four years of a tenacious and growing boycott, Taco Bell and Yum! Brands agreed to make an agreement called the ''CIW-Yum agreement'' with representatives of CIW at Yum! Brands headquarters.<ref>{{cite news | title = A Side Order of Human Rights | url = http://www.nytimes.com/2005/04/06/opinion/06schlosser.html?_r=1 | date = 2005-04-06 | publisher = "The New York Times" | accessdate = 2009-03-23 }}</ref>

The CIW-Yum agreement set several precedents, establishing:

* The first direct, ongoing payment by a fast-food industry leader to farm workers in its supply chain to address substandard farm-labor wages (nearly doubling the percentage of the final retail price that goes to the workers who pick the produce).

* The first enforceable [[Code of Conduct]] for agricultural suppliers in the fast-food industry (which includes the CIW, a worker-based organization, as part of the investigative body for monitoring worker complaints).

* Market incentives for agricultural suppliers willing to respect their workers’ [[human rights]], even when those rights are not guaranteed by law;

* Full transparency for Taco Bell’s tomato purchases in Florida; the agreement commits Taco Bell to buy only from Florida growers who agree to the pass-through and to document and monitor the pass-through, providing complete records of Taco Bell’s Florida tomato purchases and growers’ wage records to the CIW.<ref>{{cite news | title = Victory at Taco Bell | url = http://www.ciw-online.org/agreementanalysis.html | date = 2005-03-08 | publisher = "Coalition of Immokalee Workers" | accessdate = 2009-03-23 }}</ref>

===Lawsuits===
==== Chihuahua ====
A lawsuit filed in 1998 by Joseph Shields and Thomas Rinks alleged Taco Bell failed to pay them for use of the [[chihuahua (dog)|Chihuahua]] character they created. The men alleged that Taco Bell had breached payment on a contract after they worked with the restaurant chain for a year to develop the [[Taco Bell chihuahua|talking Chihuahua]] for use in marketing. The Chihuahua became a hit: In a commercial, the character bypasses a female Chihuahua for a Taco Bell taco and declares: "Yo quiero Taco Bell." The two men received $30.1 million in compensation<ref>{{cite news | title = Michigan Creators Awarded $30.1 Million in Lawsuit over Ownership of Taco Bell's Chihuahua. | url = http://www.thefreelibrary.com/Michigan+Creators+Awarded+$30.1+Million+in+Lawsuit+over+Ownership+of...-a0102768736 | date = 2003-06-04 | publisher = thefreelibrary.com | accessdate = 2009-03-15 }}</ref> plus nearly $12 million in additional interest three months later.<ref>{{cite news | title = Taco Bell loses $42 million Chihuahua ruling | url = http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/nationworld/2008665346_tacobell24.html | date = 2009-01-24 | publisher = "The Seattle Times" | accessdate = 2009-03-15 }}</ref> Taco Bell in turn sued its ad agency [[TBWA]] saying it should have been aware of the conflicts. In 2009, a three-judge federal appeals panel ruled against Taco Bell.<ref>{{cite news | title = Taco Bell Loses Chihuahua Case--Again | url = http://amlawdaily.typepad.com/amlawdaily/2009/01/taco-bell-loses-chihuahua-caseagain.html | date = 2009-01-26 | publisher = Am Law Daily | accessdate = 2009-03-15 }}</ref>

====50 Cent====
The rap artist [[50 Cent]] filed a federal lawsuit against Taco Bell on July 23, 2008. The suit claimed that his name was used in a print ad asking him to change his name to 79 Cent, 89 Cent or 99 Cent as a part of the "Why Pay More?" campaign. 50 Cent was not aware of the ad until it came out, while fake letters containing the name change request were sent to the news media for promotional purposes. He sought $4 million in damages. In turn, Taco Bell spokesman Rob Poetsch said they made a good faith, charitable offer of $10,000 to 50 Cent if he would change his name to 79, 89 or 99 Cent for one day and rap his order at a Taco Bell location.<ref>{{cite news | title = 50 Cent to sue Taco Bell | url = http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2008/jul/25/50.cent.sues.taco.bell | date = 2008-07-25 | publisher = guardian.co.uk | accessdate = 2009-03-15 }}</ref> On November 24, 2009 50 Cent and Yum! Brands/Taco Bell settled the suit for an undisclosed amount.

==Menu==
[[File:Tbellcrunchy2.JPG|thumb|180px|left|Two basic "crunchy" corn shell beef Taco Bell tacos]]
===Border Bell===
In 1997, [[PepsiCo]] experimented with a new "fresh grill" concept, opening at least one Border Bell restaurant in [[Mountain View, California]] on El Camino Real ([[California State Route 82|SR 82]]).<ref>{{cite web | title= Taco Bell readies launch of Border Bell concept | url= http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m3190/is_n9_v31/ai_19173668/ | publisher= BNET, findarticles.com | date= 1997-03-03 | accessdate=2009-04-06}}</ref> In addition to a subset of the regular Taco Bell menu, Border Bell offered Mexican-inspired items like those available from [[Chevys Fresh Mex]] restaurants (then owned by PepsiCo), such as Chevys signature sweet corn [[tamalito]] pudding and a fresh salsa bar.

===Reduction of trans fats===
As of April, 2007, Taco Bell had switched to zero [[trans fat]] frying oil in all of its US single-branded locations.<ref>[http://www.yum.com/nutrition/menu.asp?brandID_Abbr=5_TB TB Nutrition Calculator<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>

===Volcano Taco and Volcano Double Beef Burrito===

Taco Bell revealed in June 2009 that it will be adding to its main menu the Volcano Double Beef Burrito and the Volcano Taco, a former limited-time item.<ref> {{ cite news |author=Zimmer, Erin |title=Taco Bell's Volcano Taco with Lava Sauce Returns to Menus Nationwide |url=http://www.seriouseats.com/2009/06/taco-bell-volcano-taco-returns-lava-sauce-fast-food-double-beef-burrito.html |work=SeriousEats.com |date=June 12, 2009 }}</ref>

===Cupcakes and Smoothies===
It was reported in October 2009 that the chain has been testing [[smoothies]], mini-snacks, and other items. A [[juice bar]] has been installed in some restaurants along with a display containing [[cupcakes]] and other snacks.<ref> {{ cite news |author=Luna, Nancy |title=Oh my!

== Advertising ==
[[File:Taco Bell Headquarters Irvine.jpg|thumb|right|Taco Bell's Former headquarters in [[Irvine, California]]]]

In March 2001, Taco Bell announced a promotion to coincide with the re-entry of the [[Mir space station]]. They towed a large target out into the Pacific Ocean, announcing that if the target was hit by a falling piece of Mir, every person in the United States would be entitled to a free Taco Bell taco. The company bought a sizable insurance policy for this gamble.<ref>[http://www.spaceref.com/news/viewpr.html?pid=4152 Taco Bell press release] March 19, 2001</ref> No piece of the station struck the target.

In 2004, a local Taco Bell franchisee bought the [[naming rights]] to the [[Boise State University|Boise State]] Pavilion in [[Boise, Idaho]] and renamed the stadium [[Taco Bell Arena]].<ref>http://www.sde.state.id.us/webdocs/DailyEdNews/2004%20July-Dec%20Archive/04-10-26_Tuesday.htm</ref>

In 2006, Taco Bell was a ESPN partner of its coverage of the [[2006 FIFA World Cup]].

In 2007, Taco Bell offered the "Steal a Base, Steal a Taco" promotion—if any player from either team stole a base in the 2007 [[World Series]] the company would give away free tacos to everyone in the United States in a campaign similar to the Mir promotion, albeit with a much higher likelihood of being realized.<ref>[http://www.forbes.com/2007/10/29/taco-bell-baseball-face-markets-cx_mr_1029autofacescan02.html Taco Bell's Big Enchilada - Forbes.com<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> After [[Jacoby Ellsbury]] of the [[Boston Red Sox]] stole a base in Game 2, the company paid out this promotion on October 30, 2007. This promotion was used again in the 2008 World Series, when [[Jason Bartlett]] of the [[Tampa Bay Rays]] stole a base during Game 1 at [[Tropicana Field]], which was paid out on October 28, 2008.<ref>http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/fan_forum/tacobell/</ref>

Taco Bell sponsors a promotion at home games for both the [[Portland Trail Blazers]] and the [[Cleveland Cavaliers]] in which everyone in attendance receives a coupon for a free Chalupa if the home team scores 100 points or more.<ref>http://ourpdx.net/2008/11/brother-can-you-spare-a-chalupa/</ref><ref>http://blog.cleveland.com/andone/2008/06/shawn_kemp_by_the_fans.html</ref>

In 2009, Taco Bell introduced a [[music video]] style commercial entitled, "It's all about the Roosevelts" composed and produced by Danny de Matos at his studio www.shushstudio.com for Amber Music on behalf of DraftFCB Agency. Featuring [[Varsity Fanclub]]'s [[Bobby Edner]], the [[rap music]] style commercial shows a group of friends gathering change as they drive toward Taco Bell.<ref>http://www.foodfacts.info/blog/2009/06/taco-bells-video-all-about-roosevelts.html</ref> The commercial represents Taco Bell's first foray into movie theater advertising, featuring the ad during the opening previews of [[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen]] and [[Public Enemies (2009 film)|Public Enemies]] as well as screens in some movie theater lobbies.<ref>http://www.qsrmagazine.com/articles/news/story.phtml?id=8865</ref>

On July 1, 2009, Taco Bell has replaced 20-year sponsor [[McDonald's]] as the fast food partner of the [[NBA]]. Taco Bell and the [[NBA]] agreed on a 4 year deal allowing them to advertise on [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]], [[Turner Network Television|TNT]] and [[ESPN]], and NBA-themed promotions.
<ref>http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=4300399</ref>

[[Infomercial]] salesman [[Billy Mays]] signed a deal in June 2009 to shoot infomercial-style commercials for the chain, with filming to begin in August.<ref>http://www.tmz.com/2009/06/28/billy-mays-had-just-inked-a-deal-with-taco-bell?icid=sphere_searchsphere_news</ref> His unexpected death from a [[Myocardial infarction|heart attack]] on June 28, 2009 canceled those plans.

On July 21, 2009, [[Taco Bell chihuahua|Gidget]], the [[Chihuahua (dog)|Chihuahua]] featured in Taco Bell ads in the late 1990s, was [[Animal_euthanasia|euthanized]] after suffering a stroke. <ref>http://omg.yahoo.com/news/taco-bell-chihuahua-dies-at-15/25534?nc</ref> She was 15 years old.

2009 commercials for the "Frutista Freeze" frozen drink feature [[Snowball (Cockatoo)|Snowball]], an [[Eleonora Cockatoo]] noted for his ability to dance to human music.<ref name="nwi">{{cite web|url=http://www.nwitimes.com/news/local/lake/article_4b3a58ed-2eae-5c3a-a095-fa3135bec62c.html|title=Region's famed dancing bird hawks Taco Bell|last=Renderman|first=Vanessa|date=2009-07-26|publisher=nwi.com|accessdate=2009-07-28}}</ref>

==Outside the United States==
===Australia===
Taco Bell first opened in Australia in September 1981, but was ordered to change its name after the owner of a local restaurant successfully sued them for misleading conduct.<ref>http://www.austlii.edu.au/cgi-bin/sinodisp/au/cases/cth/FCA/1981/219.html?query=^taco%20bell</ref> The local restaurant was called 'Taco Bell's Casa' and had been operating in Australia since the 1970s. The owner successfully argued that Sydneysiders would confuse the takeaway chain with his restaurant, and this would damage his reputation.
Taco Bell later opened in 1997 in Australia with a store in the cinema district on George St in Sydney and later in 2002 within a few KFC stores in the state of New South Wales but by 2005, the Taco Bell brand was pulled out of the country.

===Cyprus===

[[File:CyprusTacoBell.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Taco Bell in Cyprus]]

A Taco Bell opened in [[Cyprus]] in December 2009 in [[Limassol]] at the MyMall. Further restaurants are planned to be opened within the next 18 months (probably also in Cyprus' capital [[Nicosia]]).<ref>http://www.financialmirror.com/News/Cyprus_and_World_News/17316</ref>

===China===
[[Image:Taco Bell-China-Logo.png|200px|thumb|left|Taco Bell Grande's Logo]]In 2003, [[Yum! Brands]] introduced the Taco Bell brand into [[People's Republic of China]]. The Chinese Taco Bell restaurants were not fast-food restaurants like other Taco Bells. Instead, they were full-service restaurants called '''Taco Bell Grande''' that are more analogous to a Mexican grill in the United States. In addition to the usual taco and burritos, Taco Bell Grande also served other Mexican cuisine like [[albóndigas]] (meatball soup), [[tomatillo]] [[Chicken|grilled chicken]], [[fajita]]s, and [[Alcoholic beverage|alcoholic drinks]] such as [[Margarita]]s. The chain had operated three restaurants in China, two in [[Shenzhen]] and one in [[Shanghai]]. However, the Shanghai location closed at the end of January 2008.<ref>[http://eastwindupchronicle.com/taco-bell-shanghai-closes-shop/ Taco Bell Shanghai Closes Shop<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> One location in Shenzhen closed on February 20, 2008; the second location followed shortly after, closing on March 5, 2008.<ref>[http://shenzhenbuzz.com/tbg Adios, Taco Bell Grande<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>

One other store opened in [[Uxbridge]] but all closed in the mid 1990s. In 1994 the university food provider [[Compass Group|Compass]] announced plans to open stores in its [[university]] and [[college]] sites. However only one store was opened in [[Birmingham University]], no other stores were opened and the Birmingham site is now closed.<ref name="autogenerated1">[http://www.caterersearch.com/Articles/2001/07/26/26065/yankee-retreat.html Yankee retreat - 26 July 2001 - CatererSearch<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref><ref>[http://www.caterersearch.com/Articles/1994/09/29/7345/compass-pilots-taco-bell-unit.html Compass pilots Taco Bell unit - 29 September 1994 - CatererSearch<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>

Yum! Brands has announced that it is considering reopening Taco Bell locations in the United Kingdom as part of a large planned expansion into Europe, with trial outlets opening first in Spain in early 2009. Yum! is taking advantage of the recent recession which has led to increasing sales at other fast food outlets, it also says that there is now a greater awareness of Mexican food in the UK and that it can be successful with improved menu offerings and marketing.<ref name="online.wsj.com"/><ref name="propertyweek.com"/>.

===Dominican Republic===
