That headline probably has you going huh?! what the heck?! Let me explain. Back in 1992, Johnny Cash did a commercial for Taco Bell, and it might be one of the greatest things I've ever seen. First of all, the song is pretty dang catchy, I've been singing it all morning. Next of all it melts together (no pun intended) two of my favorite things, Taco Bell and Johnny Cash. I tell my wife and anyone who will listen that the 90s were the best decade, and it's not just because thats the main decade I grew up in, no it's because you just don't get commercials like this anymore. Also can we talk about those Taco Bell prices?! Everything is under $1?! I'm pretty sure you could buy the entire menu for like $15 and some change. Well after watching this if you're in the mood to listen to come Johnny Cash and take down a taco or 6, you're welcome! I'll take full responsibility. Check out the commercial here
