Just as Burger King has had many forgettable ad campaigns and slogans, its Mexican counterpart, Taco Bell, has its own fill.  Some of them sound downright generic.  Here are some of them, according to Wikipedia: 
 
Think outside the bun
Make a run for the border
The cure for the common meal
Yo quiero Taco Bell!
Hello, Taco Bell!
I'm Full!
Ooh! What a difference Taco Bell makes!  (paraphrase of Alka-Seltzer's jingle)
Want some?
Feed the beast (also used by rival Del Taco)
Fetch that food!
Taste that food!
Opportunity doesn't knock--it rings a bell!  (employment advertising)
Change is good
Spice up the night
You can munch it!  So good!
Nothing ordinary about it
Cross the border
 
After reading all of these and having eaten Taco Bell's bland Tex-Mex, I just wanna
 
MAKE A RUN FOR THE BATHROOM!

The short lived "It's late; eat more" was a decent one. It was honest.
As I recall that was a time in my life where I was imbibing substance that made Taco Bell a refuge and in my THC laced storms/

Lest we forget their current slogan....

"Fourth Meal"

Which to me sounds SOOOO utterly hacky it's unreal...You hire an ad agency and THATS what they come up with? Sounds like something a 4 year old would make up being a smart ass....

Yeah, I know right?  Who the hell says that.  Fourth meal.  I have hated it since the first time I heard it.  Like there is a 3rd meal.  They need to lose it allready.

I remember this one. Most likely you're running for the border to get away from Taco Bell! LOL

Tying with another thread...why is it OK to use 'the border' as shorthand for Taco Bell's crappy 'not really Mexican' food...and yet Mexican-Americans got so pissed at 'The Frito Bandito' that it was taken off the air?

That may explain why there are very few, if any, Taco Bells in Mexico...Mexicans probably also got sick of the running joke that Taco Bell is a phone company in their country.

When they used the "Yo quiero Taco Bell" slogan, I seriously thought that it meant "Taco Bell is gay". :/
