Taco Bell Not Responsible for Listeria Outbreak, CEO Shocked

Written by  Matthew Kahn

After news of the recent listeria outbreak, the CEO of Taco Bell, Greg Creed, attempted to call a member of his staff. However, he misdialed.

We at The Leaky Wiki are proud to provide you with a transcript of that call, in it’s entirety.

“Oh crap, oh crap, c’mon pick up. Dammit! Okay, whatever. Larry, this is Greg. I just turned on the news and found out there’s a listeria outbreak.We can’t keep having these outbreaks, Larry. Didn’t we have a salmonella outbreak, like, two months ago? Or was that E. Coli?

“Look, the point is… wait. They just said it was cantaloupe. Do we use cantaloupe for anything, Larry? Larry… I don’t think it was us. [Laughter] Oh thank god! I just get so worried, y’know. It seems like every time some disease gets out, we’re connected. Especially diarrhea. Hey, did you know that kids even call diarrhea "the Taco Bell shits"? I’d be offended, but that’s great brand recognition right there.

“But anyway, we really dodged a bullet there, pal. A couple years back, they wanted to add more fruit, but thank god we didn’t, am I right? I mean, people that're health conscious don’t really buy our stuff. Remember when we started replacing the lettuce with green confetti? [laughter] I told you no one would notice. [laughter, sigh] Well, good talking to you, Larry. Take care.”

I wonder what happened here. The text isn't showing in the small view.

Good to know. Next time I'll wait and see if the mistakes are still there once it gets to the make ready room.

Julian and I have talked and he's helping me copy edit. Just as Matt said, we usually wait until it gets into the make ready room to edit it. It's just more organized that way. But thanks for editing Julian.

Good idea. In regards to editing, a couple of the people who have been here for a while usually do the editing after an article has gotten upvoted into the "Make Ready" room. It's not a big deal, but it helps us to keep an organized way of doing things.

I edited a few little grammar mistakes, if that's okay. Also, do you think you could add a little bit of whatever at the end of the article, like a bit of a conclusion, so it doesn't end so abruptly?
