The main difference here is the price point of only a buck and, truth be told, for your hundred pennies you sure do get a lot of food, as well as a comforting headrest.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Taco-Bell-Stacker-2.jpg?resize=600%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Taco Bell Stacker 2\" title=\"Taco Bell Stacker 2.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I was pleasantly surprised to see just how much the meaty <em>and<\/em> cheesy filling was willing to be compacted and compressed in the Stacker, making it perhaps the best deal on the current incarnation of the Dollar Menu. <\/p>\n<p>Additionally, living up to its moniker perfectly, it was filling and fun to place three or four of these babies on top of one another, creating a mega Stacker of Voltron-esque proportions that without a doubt will be the most filling meal (or in my case, Fourth Meal) of the day.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Taco-Bell-Stacker-3.jpg?resize=599%2C351&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Taco Bell Stacker 3\" title=\"Taco Bell Stacker 3.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"599\" height=\"351\" \/><\/p>\n<p>And best of all, while I was burning the Bell at both ends last night, the Stacker, with its pillow-like comfort and memory-foam demeanor, made for the perfect resting place between my head and the keyboard, all with no fuss or no muss and, if that weren\u2019t enough, I have a warm breakfast waiting for me when I came to.
