The first Taco Bell franchise was sold in 1964 and the company became public in 1969. In 1978, the chain was sold to PepsiCo. The chain was spun off along with Pepsi's other fast food restaurant holdings as Tricon Global Restaurants in October 1997. Tricon became Yum! Brands in May 2002.
The restaurant has locations primarily in the United States and Canada, but also operates outlets in several other markets.

Yeah, no mention of Mexico at all.

Dude, you're not reading between the lines. It was sold to Pepsico, and where do they get the water for their beverages? I rest my case.
