THE WHITENESS OF TACO BELL’S “SOUR” CREAM

Big Taco Bell fan here. A regular border runner, as they say. When I get a hankering, when I get to a jonezin’, for Taco Bell, nothing else will do. (The same holds for McDonald’s, but that’s a tale for another day.)

I know it’s crap. I know it’s not “authentic.” But it fills a need, a void, a bizarre craving.

I just have one question: What’s with the “sour cream”?

There simply is no foodstuff in the world with less taste than Taco Bell’s sour cream.

The only word I can think of to describe the taste is “white.” Taco Bell’s sour cream tastes like white. Or whiteness. It tastes like white whiteness. I’m not having it again.
