Fast-food giant Taco Bell finds itself in a bit of a public relations pickle following revelations that the meat it puts in its inexpensive tacos and burritos actually contains just 36 percent actual ground beef. The other 64 percent consists of a combination of water, wheat oats and "isolated oat product."
Those ingredients have not exactly been making Twitter users to want to "run for the border." And as news of a pending lawsuit against Taco Bell made the rounds on the Internet today, they flooded to the microblogging site to test out a few 140-character one-liners.
Surge Desk has a sampling.

Lawsuit claims Taco Bell tacos only 35% real beef. Think I speak for all of us when I say wow - that much?

Not sure I wanted to know this: Taco Bell "beef" is only 36% beef, making you really wonder what the other 64% is. http://gizmo.do/gIsTlX

Still, the fast-food chain had its defenders, whatever the amount of actual ground beef in its products.
I like Taco Bell. I don't care if they make the meat from crickets and rat toenails...its good! So stop complaining & buy taco!
