No
chalupa for you, Bethel, Alaska! The town in bush Alaska (pop. 6,000)
was reeling at the revelation that a Taco Bell opening was just a cruel,
cruel hoax:
It was some unique form of tundra humor at work, apparently, that
led to the fliers posted on various local bulletin boards, promising
an opening in time for Bethel’s annual Independence Day parade
and offering employment.
“We got excited, because we don’t have any fast food
chains out here, and the idea of Taco Bell coming in? And they were
going to be here for the 4thof July?” Chamber of Commerce director
Bonnie Bradbury said in an interview.
“You bring a McDonald’s or a KFC, people will go crazy
out here,” said Tatiana Dotdot, who works at the local AC store,
the rambling supermarket that sells everything from diapers to all-terrain
vehicles, as long as it can be brought in on a barge or a plane.
