If you've worked a double shift at Taco Bell, it may FEEL like you've walked a marathon . . . but for the first time, it's been DOCUMENTED.
A young woman named Madison who does stunts for social media set out to become the first person to complete a full marathon INSIDE a Taco Bell. She didn't RUN it . . . she used a walking treadmill.
She got there at 11:00 A.M. . . . filled her cup with Baja Blast . . . and even ate Cantina Chicken Bowls and Nacho Fries while she did it. It's unclear if she took any breaks . . . bathroom or otherwise.
It took 10 hours and three minutes . . . and about 58,000 steps . . . but she finished 26.3 miles that night at 9:00 P.M. Some friends, employees, and even customers were there to congratulate her.

Papa Johns Teams Up With Deadpool And Wolverine
This summer’s big new movie is Deadpool & Wolverine and DiGiorno is jumping on the bandwagon with the release of four new limited-edition pizzas to celebrate the release. Kimberly Holowiak, Senior Brand Manager for DiGiorno said: “This summer, we’re taking it up a notch by teaming up with Marvel Studios’ DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE to create limited-edition pizzas that fans won’t want to miss – so we encourage fans to get them while they can.”
Here are the four new pizzas that are available now:
- Maximum Pep – DiGiorno says this pizza is “made with maximum flavor and zero regrets – just like Deadpool’s decisions- Maximum Pep is piled high with sliced and diced pepperoni.” It’s a thin crust pie not unlike a regular pepperoni DiGiorno’s pizza.
- Spicy Wolvie Pie – described as “crafted with wolverine and other meat lovers in mind, this pie is stacked with pepperoni, chorizo and bacon.” It’s similar to the Maximum Pep pizza with some added flavor.
- The Wade Special – “A sweet and salty combo not just for mercs, made with pineapple and black olives to pay homage to Wade Wilson’s pizza in the first movie.” It’s not for everyone, maybe because of the pineapple, and it’s aimed for lovers of a sweet and salty combination.
- Gimme Chimi – since Deadpool loves chimichangas, this is “a chimichanga-inspired pizza that is a fiesta for your tastebuds and topped with spicy cumin sauce, beef topping, jalapeño, and cheddar and mozzarella cheeses.” This was the favorite of Guilty Eats reviewers despite it being very spicy.
All of the pizzas have a suggested retail price of $6.49 and every box except the Spicy Wolvie Pie comes with a cut-out Deadpool mask. In addition, fans can win a trip to Los Angeles by going to DiGiorno.com/deadpoolandwolverine through August 26 for a chance to win one of these prizes:
- A pizza party in Los Angeles where a private chef will make the limited-edition pizzas and you’ll also receive a stunt masterclass where you can learn katana combat moves, just like Deadpool.
- Merc merchandise including cool accessories and collectible swag.
- Fandango movie tickets to see Deadpool & Wolverine.
This promotion is called The DiGiorno Chaotic Good ‘Stakes and is “open only to residents of the 50 U.S. and DC, 18 or older (or 19 for residents of AL & NE, 21 for MS).”

McDonald's Is Ditching Its A.I. Ordering System
A.I. might be able to write better and draw better than most humans. But at least we're still better at asking, "Do you want fries with that?"
McDonald's is ditching the new A.I. ordering system they've been testing at drive-thrus for the past few years. The plan was to expand it, but that's not happening. At least not yet, and not with the A.I. they built with IBM.
TikTokers have documented some of the issues it's had. Like when it tried to add bacon to a guy's ice cream cone.
McDonald's announced the A.I. systems will be turned off at all of the restaurants testing it by the end of next month.
So does this mean humans won? Probably not. We just survived a little longer.
In a statement yesterday, McDonald's said they now plan to "explore voice ordering solutions more broadly," adding that they still see a "tremendous opportunity" to use A.I. going forward.
