This work is a critique of Taco Bell’s combinatorial approach to its Mexican-esque menu. It randomly generates a new menu item and a call to action every 30 seconds, or whenever you click on the Generate button.
This work is based on a Twitter Bot I launched on February 25, 2020 (@TacoHellMenu), which was inspired by this GIF and a conversation with Eugenio Tisselli. Its first iteration was built collaboratively in a bot-building workshop I gave at the US Naval Academy on February 25, 2020 for Perla Sasson Henry’s students.
