TAMPA, Fla., May 17 (UPI) — A Florida man emerged from a 42-day long coma with a serious craving for Taco Bell.
A friend shared the story of Jake Booth, a 35-year-old retired Army veteran and former Collier County sheriff’s deputy, to Reddit after he made the very specific request for the fast-service Mexican food.
Taco Bell eventually got word of Booth’s story and sent him a set of apparel as well as a bag full of food.
“Hey Taco Bell my brother loves his new gear! Thank you so much,” a post on the Facebook page Wake Up Jake read. “I think he’s going to get a run for the border in the next day or so! The hand written card made me tear up.”
Booth was finally able to enjoy his Taco Bell feast about a week after having his first meal.
On May 16, Booths family shared an update that he was scheduled to return home in about 20 days.
