But how good is Taco Bell? Stick the last name into the brand, then shove the image of a bell into the logo for no particular reason as far as Mexican-inspired food is concerned. Guess the proof’s in the pudding.
Unilever: it was the brothers’ marriage into business! They became one. …not sure if they co-CEO’d it though.
Those arches have the exact kind of bell in them that Taco Bell uses in their logo, and you can even still find TBs designed to LOOK like the missions, solidifying the connection even more.
So yeah it’s his last name, but they actuslly tied it to Mexican history
For real, I assumed it was something like: the color of “Oh, honey” (as in, “you poor dear”, etc) 😳🤦🏼♂️ I mean, “yellow alert” is “we might scrap” and “red alert” is “shields up, fire phasers!” (thanks, Star Trek), so amber’s in there somewhere a bit earlier on, right?
She was Amber Rene Hagerman:

Danggggg we gotta email that guy!
Some of these must have been plays on their name that they knew worked well. Like price club, taco bell which used a bell for a logo.
But why unilever for lever brothers? Bilever would be more accurate.
Price Club is an amazing play on the name.

Nah dude it’s a really more clever than that, first image when you look up “california missions” is:

I don’t get John Cassell to gasoline. Casselline but horiffically butchered?
That’s what I’m thinking
Ok that SF one should just be called Charles Main St. That’s just egregious.
Lol, it definitely contrasts with the silver alerts, doesn’t it?

Ugh… it makes me nauseous when I find out they didn’t catch the guy.
