“What is Tinker Bell’s Mexican sister’s name?”/“Taco Bell.”

Taco Bell (a Tex-Mex chain restaurant) has nothing to do with Tinker Bell (a fictional character), but there are jokes. “wonders if Tinker, Bell ever dines at Taco, Bell…” was posted on Twitter by Christian on February 14, 2009. “RT: @znmeb: Tinker Bell is Taco Bell’s half-sister” was posted on Twitter by Andy Christensen on January 15, 2010.
 
“If it isn’t Tinkerbell and his girlfriend Taco Bell” was a line in Napoleon Dynamite, an American animated sitcom based on the 2004 indie film of the same name, on the episode “Scantronica Love” that originally aired on January 15, 2012. “if tinkerbell had a Mexican sister, her name would be taco bell” was posted on Twitter by larri on August 21, 2014. “What’s the name of tinker bell’s Mexican sister? Taco bell” was posted on Twitter by TJ Martinez on January 14, 2016.
 
           
Wikipedia: Taco Bell
Taco Bell is an American chain of fast food restaurants based out of Irvine, California, founded in 1962 by Glen Bell. Taco Bell is a subsidiary of Yum! Brands, Inc. The restaurants serve a variety of Mexican inspired foods that include tacos, burritos, quesadillas, nachos, novelty and specialty items, and a variety of “value menu” items.
 
Wikipedia: Tinker Bell
Tinker Bell is a fictional character from J. M. Barrie’s 1904 play Peter Pan and its 1911 novelization Peter and Wendy. She has appeared in a variety of film and television adaptations of the Peter Pan stories, in particular the 1953 animated Walt Disney picture Peter Pan.
(...)
At first only a supporting character described by her creator as “a common fairy”, her animated incarnation was a hit and has since become a widely recognized unofficial mascot of The Walt Disney Company, next to the company’s official mascot Mickey Mouse, and the centrepiece of its Disney Fairies media franchise including the direct-to-DVD film series Tinker Bell and Walt Disney’s Wonderful World of Color.
