My thoughts:
I'm going to say right off the bat that Company Man is one of my favorite YouTube channels, he covers a lot of interesting companies, what makes them successful, how some changed the industry, or why some fail.
I chose the Taco Bell one because it's a favorite fast food restaurant, it serves its own kind of "Mexican" inspired food (hard stretch I know). The origins of the restaurant are fascinating (who knew the owner's name was actually Bell?) and I hadn't thought about it before, but the video highlights a good point about the catchy and memorable marketing that TB has had over the years. Also fascinating to think of how TB helped tacos become more widespread in America.
I love their wacky foods, I honestly go nuts for their nacho fries every time they're available, and I unironically liked the crispy chicken sandwich taco they offered last year.
