Four years ago my work days started at 2 a.m., which meant having to think a little differently about my routine.
Instead of flipping on the news or SportsCenter while I was getting ready, I watched Conan. If I wanted to get food on the way to work, there weren’t many options, but I had the ability to roll through the Taco Bell drive-thru for breakfast. Fortunately for my health I only did that a few times.
But it did always seem odd that Taco Bell didn’t serve breakfast on a normal person’s schedule. Countless other places offer breakfast burritos, so why wouldn’t they do it too? The line every morning at the McDonald’s down the street from where I live now shows there’s no shortage of people making poor life decisions (I say as a lover of Egg McMuffins). And yet, at the same time the Taco Bell next door is closed.
That may not last. This morning I saw a tweet that both excited and horrified me:
That’s right, Taco Bell is rolling out breakfast — or keeping with their marketing campaign, “First Meal.”
It’s too early to tell if the test markets will be successful enough to make this a nationwide thing. But just in case it does and I get sucked into a world I know I shouldn’t, I’ll go ahead and start working out more now.
