There's always a comment like this I find. Some extra layer of data people want to see that explains the first layer, and it never ends - the data on data. Sometimes we just want to know the damn burrito prices and don't care about the excuses.


If you want to know the burrito price, you open the app/website and look at the burrito price... you don't go to a "Taconomics" website comparing taco prices across a continent. As it stands, there are a number of uncontrolled variables that mean this is not an effective analysis of "How economical is your local Taco Bell?"


> you don't go to a "Taconomics" website comparing taco prices across a continent

but that's what people do, in aggregate. It's why manufacturing all went to china in the last 2 decades.


Maybe you just want to find the cheapest branch in a 10 mile radius.


Yah but if you want to click around on a neat lil web page this is great.


Shift-click to zoom out.


It’s hard to compare prices for 10 nearby Taco Bells in the Taco Bell app. This site makes it quite easy.
