Yesterday, Taco Bell rolled out its highly anticipated [breakfast menu](http://time.com/9483/behold-taco-bells-waffle-taco/) and, naturally, the chain’s president, Brian Niccol, took to Reddit to host an AMA (ask me anything) about the new offerings.

The best part of the spirited question-and-answer session came when one user [asked](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/21il1d/i%5Fam%5Fbrian%5Fniccol%5Fpresident%5Fof%5Ftaco%5Fbell%5Ftoday%5Fis/cgddili), “Only to America? When is this coming to Canada?”

Niccol responded with some pretty solid snark by saying, “When you take Justin Bieber back.”
