In a strange and very very square attempt to get some ink, Taco Bell has ” challenged” 50Cent to change his name to, wait for it…….79, 89 or 99Cent, which is the cost on the new Taco Bell fine dining “Why Pay More” value menu (without a question mark, BTW).. Riiiiight. 50Cent is not amused.
Oh, but the squareness gets worse. You can go to this website and find the ” Why Pay Mo’ ” (yes, they said Mo’) Rhyme Generator, get your own “Rap Name”, created by giving your first name, favorite Taco Bell Treat, and identifying yourself as (OMG) a (“homeboy” or “flygirl”). Geez, could they be whiter? For the record our “rap name” is E-NOR-MOUS M. Taste.
We think Taco Bell thought too far outside the bun here.
In case other companies want to try this, we have some suggestions:
| Current Name | Possible New Name |
|---|---|
| Black Eyed Peas | Birdseye Peas |
| Blackalicious | Bubblicious |
| Dr Dre | Dr Pepper |
| Eve | Summer’s Eve |
| Jay Z | La-Z Boy |
| LL Cool J | LL Cool Whip |
| Salt-N-Pepa | Salt-N-Pep Boys |
| Wu Tang Clan | Wu Orange Tang Clan |
