Taco Bell profits tremendously from this phenomenon as well. Exact same ingredients; different shapes.

Nothing like not realizing they got your order wrong until you get home, eating it anyway because you can't be bothered to go back, and realizing you pretty much still got the same tastes out of it.

Bit of an existential crisis for a young me.

I like Taco Bell, get a craving for it about once every two months, but there's really only minor differences across the menu.

Wrong items aren't a big deal. Missing items, however...

Speak for yourself, I'm a vegetarian. I only get Taco Bell shits if they mess up my order badly enough and I don't catch it. Fortunately I've been lucky and the mess ups thus far have always resulted in something I can eat. Or they throw in the beef ones they mess up as a bonus, those go to roommates.
