Here are some surprising facts about Taco Bell's domination of the fast food landscape:

In a single month, Taco Bell serves the equivalent of half of the U.S. population.

Each year, they use 111 million pounds of cheese. That's the weight of 246 Statues of Liberty.

Each year, they also sell more than one billion burritos and two billion tacos.
