Taco Bell Speedo

The week before Christmas, 15 year old Ryan Klarner posted on Taco Bell's Facebook page, introducing himself with a rundown of his swimming and diving achievements before making an offbeat request.

"Is there any way you guys could make me a customized Speedo that says think outside the buns on the back of it? If you did, that would mean the world to me"

The Illinois teen claims he first came up with the idea a couple of years ago and decided last month to go ahead and ask, even through he never had asked a company on Facebook for anything before.

So last Wednesday, the social media team at Taco Bell wrote back. "What size do you wear? And what's your address?"

Klarner is now set to receive two pairs of speedos, one with the old Taco Bell slogan "Think Outside the Buns" and the latest slogan "Live Mas".

Who would have ever thought? I applaud Taco Bell for branding some 15 year olds ass. If he keeps eating Taco Bell he won't be swimming very fast, but can you knock the kid for his ingenuity? Brava.
