If Mexican food gives you the shits, you need to eat more fiber so your digestive system doesn't immediately panic on contact with beans.

My guess is it’s the cholula, or Taco Bell, or ordering deep fried chimichangas, or other Tex-Mex, most freshly made authentic mexican food is simple ingredients that should definitely not cause someone to have the shits
Japan has Taco Bell so that’s definitely an option if you want to really make use of those toilets.
yeah, but their taco bell kind of sucks major ass because they don't have access to the same ingredients, or something along those lines, I can't quite remember.
It wouldn’t surprise me. Japan does rice and beef very well. But tomatoes and lettuce are far less common in Asia. I’m actually traveling to Japan early next year at some point. Will try Taco Bell and report back
Tell me whether or not they have any good black bean tacos. I'm interested in their bean variety, because I'm not sure to what extent they have the same beanage as over here. I have to expect that they have some level, as otherwise you'd get no bean paste pastries, no miso soup bean stock, yadda yadda. I expect a full report on my desk by may 2024.
Some people are sensitive to an enzyme in beans as well, I'm blanking on what it's called atm. But I'm a vegetarian that eats beans like 3-5 times a week and my poops are legendary the day after eating them. Lentils too, to a lesser degree
I lack that enzyme genetically. I am allergic to alcohol, and so when my stomach can't digest beans corn, or even eggs, they sit in my intestines, start to ferment, and I am in a world of hurt.

It's usually the reaction to spices not the fiber of beans.
Mexican food never gives me the shits, is this just a meme promoted by people who never get enough fiber?
Yea Im pretty sure all the people who talk about mexican food and tacobell giving them shits just have shit diets. Ive never had these problems either.
Even Taco Bell doesn't usually give me the shits, unless I drink soda from one of those nasty ass dispensers fast food joints regularly neglect cleaning.
There were some social media posts about taco bell management telling workers to still serve the food that was marked as expired, so the shits might be compromised food ingredients.

As a long-time IBS sufferer, I'm always happy to see memes about getting the shits, because it makes me feel less alone.
Since everything seems to fuck my stomach up, I eat mexican food all the time. If I'm going to spend my evening on the toilet, I may as well enjoy myself!

I hope that picture is some kind of toilet showroom and not a public toilet.
Is actually the Trial of the Toilets.
You have to use them all in sequence without your legs going numb or leaving to eat food.
Normally I would assume this is 100% sarcasm/a joke. But we are talking about Japan so I am only 90% sure it is a sarcasm/a joke.
If it was real, the walls would be glass and there would be spectators.
Its from a Japanese gameshow where you poop competitively. Sometimes they have celebrities charity episode.
While the lack of mexican food in large parts of japan is indeed tragic, the fact that you can go to any countryside izakaya (pub/restaurant) and get bottomless beers and whiskey sodas for 2 hours for like 20 bucks means that the fancy toilets are getting explosive diarrhea on a regular basis.
No mexican food in japan??? OP, it's like saying theres no japanese food in Mexico... Have you ever traveled lmao?
A friend lived in Tokyo, his #1 complaint was lack of Mexican food.
A quick Google search of "Mexican Restaurants in Tokyo" brought up over 30 results in Tokyo. Hell, the other day I was watching the original Iron Chef from the 90s, and they brought in a Japanese Mexican Chef as a challenger.
There's over 30 Mexican restaurant results for my city at 1% the population of Tokyo. Sounds like it's pretty lacking to me
Tokyo is fucking huge, dude
I might have expressed myself wrong, it's not that there aren't Mexican food places at all, it's that they're much more rare than in the west (and the US specifically), and usually not great.
Plus, 30+ restaurants in a city as gigantic as Tokyo is not much at all.
There's over 30 mexican restaurants in my town of less than 30,000 people.
Tokyo is LITERALLY the biggest city in the entire world. 30ish restaurants is absolutely a needle in a haystack.

Had some great Mexican food in Tokyo!
It exists but it is actually quite rare.
I was in Japan this year and didn't see any Mexican food in the 3 major cities I visited. I'm not saying it does not exist but it's definitely not common if it does.
That also makes sense, though. Food in Japan, even the foreign food, has a specific palette it's targeting. Mexican food is extremely different from Japanese food.
Typically, any food that is introduced to a new culture is successful once it's adapted to that cultures palette. Any Mexican food being successful in Japan would likely be more akin to the Mexican/Asian fusion places we have in the States than traditional Mexican food.

There appear to actually be Taco Bells in Japan. So let's just say Ferrari, meet Nurburgring.

I’ve had chicken sashimi in Japan. Who needs Mexican food?
"I'll have the chicken"
"and how would you like that cooked?"
"aight I'm-a head out"
Some of the best Mexican food I've had was in Okinawa.
Where I really miss Mexican food is Spain.
curry!
