Why do restaurant napkins smell bad?

HooRU

I did a bad thing last night and I had some Taco Bell (it wasn't good either). The napkins they have smell nasty. I noticed a lot of restaurant paper napkins have a nasty smell. Why? Is it to discourage us from using them?

Cheap and recycled.

Haven't you noticed that they keep getting more flimsy all the time?

I always have a craving for their crunchy tacos no matter how bad they are for you.

No, it's to keep us from eating them since they can not otherwise be distinguished from the "food".

Don't eat a taco bell.

HELLFIRE

My first thought? Been sitting out for a long time and could've picked up odours from the surroundings -OR- someone spilled something onto them and it's picked up / soaked through?

takeahike I had a crunch wrap. 2/3ds of it only had tomato and cheese. And a crunchy taco. I make better stuff on my own but I didn't have the stuff and wasn't up to cooking anything, it was late.

I often wonder how they manage to cut tomatoes so small! They obviously use green house treated tomatoes as they are more firm (the use of some sort of gas "ripens" them, but they are still green tomatoes).

HooRU Maybe not how Taco bell does it but you can do it like this.

HooRU Taco Bell buys about 10 million pounds of Florida tomatoes a year

So first of all that was from my cat Squeaker. She decided that she was going to stand on my desk when I had to get up from what I was typing. Taco used to do this as well. She would type in my chat rooms at work when I went on break.

Anyways, back to this topic.

From what I was told by my manager when I was working for a fast food company was that napkins were expensive. I was told only one napkin per item. The only time we gave out more was when the customer asked or they went and got more themselves from the napkin dispenser.

I had a Jamaican Meat Pie last night. Today was turkey and honey wheat bread.

Tonight is udon noodles and veggies.

Tomorrow I don't know what I will cook yet. Maybe a chicken stir fry with parboiled seasoned rice.

I went to the store and got some things, but there are still things I need to cook what I plan on doing. I need ricotta for veggie Pizza pie for instance.
