Taco Baby Booties: For Your Little Burrito

Posted on by

Tacos: they’re tied with pizza for the food I’d pick if I could only choose only one kind to eat for the rest of my life on a deserted island. Let’s just hope it never comes to that though, because I love both dearly. Handmade by Gulnara Kydyrmyshova and other women in her Kyrgyzstan community, these Taco Booties available from Uncommon Goods make the perfect footwear for getting your young one started on Taco Tuesdays at an appropriately early age.

The Taco Booties are constructed of sheep’s wool that’s dyed, spun, and felted in small batches so no two booties are exactly alike. They cost $25 per pair (the only way to order tacos) and are designed to fit 6 to 12-month-old baby feet. But is that going to stop me from trying to wear a pair? Yes. I’m hungry, not crazy.

Now I just need a pair of pizza booties so I can mix and match my baby’s footwear. Not unlike how I’m wearing two different colored socks today. That’s the great thing about working from home though – there’s nobody here to make fun of me except my wife. Who, incidentally, makes fun of me harder than my whole office used to. I miss going to work sometimes.

The TacoCat Taco Holder: For Purrfect Taco Tuesdays

Posted on by

Tacos: you need something to hold them upright so none of those delicious ingredients spill out. Enter the $15 TacoCat taco holder (affiliate link), an upside-down cat that prevents your taco from falling apart while at rest. All that delicious meat, cheese, guacamole, sour cream… great, now I’m starving. How early is too early for tacos? That was rhetorical of course.

The taco holder includes a silicone taco rest which is removable from TacoCat’s body. Impressively (and I feel rare these days), both pieces are dishwasher safe so after you’re all taco and margarita’d out on Taco Tuesday, you can just toss them in the dishwasher instead of relying on TacoCat to lick himself clean. It can also be used as a napkin, remote control, or sink sponge holder! The possibilities are practically limitless (but actually limited to TacoCat’s 9″ x 2.5″ x 2.5″ dimensions).

Did you know TacoCat spelled backward is TaCocat? My wife just brought that to my attention when she saw what I was writing about, and I haven’t felt the same since. Smarter? No… more like this information just replaced the words to the Gilligan’s Island theme song in my head, which stinks because I like singing it in the bath.

The Taco Train Taco Holder: Chew Chew Train

Posted on by

All aboard! The taco train doesn’t just run on Tuesdays. For some people, it’s an everyday ride. For those, I present the ultimate in taco transportation. This is the Taco Train Taco Holder.

Each engine has room for two tacos, and each cargo car holds three tacos, with two compartments for chips and salsa, guacamole etc. It’s all dishwasher safe too. The train engine and cargo car combo will cost you $17, and if you want additional cargo cars you can get them for $11 each. Just remember, no matter how many tacos you eat, it’s always the caboose that pays for it.

Now that this thing exists, I want to see a motor added so that some enterprising taco joint can run this train around their restaurant, delivering tacos to customers. Somebody make that happen. I’m just the idea man here.

Let’s Taco ‘Bout This Goofy Pool Float

Posted on by

For many of us, summer means heat and sweat. And there’s no better way to cool off on a hot summer day than a plunge in the pool. But if you’re going to float around in there, you might as well look like you’re having fun. This mustachioed taco pool float should do the trick just fine.

Measuring in at about 61″ long by 30″ wide, it should keep kids and adults up to 200 pounds afloat without a problem. Though I am concerned about it leaving bits of pico de gallo, tomato, and cheese floating in the water.

 

You can grab one of these silly taco pool floats over at Amazon for about $30. Your stomach will be so much happier with this than that double chalupa you were thinking of eating from Taco Bell.

The Taco Town Fifteen-Flavor Taco Looks Delicious in Real Life

Posted on by

I haven’t watched Saturday Night Live since Chris Farley was worried about living in a van down by the river. I much prefer the classic ’80s version with Eddie Murphy over all modern varieties because it was actually funny. Apparently, this massive, gross, yet oddly tantalizing 15-flavor taco is the key food from a 2005 commercial parody from the long-running comedy show.

Binging With Babish host Andrew Rea managed to whip up the actual 15-flavor taco. To make the massive taco he took a crepe, a pizza, multiple tacos, and then smashed it all together and deep fried it. It sounds like something you would get at the fair.

After all the frying was done he put the taco into a bag of chili. Not the green water stuff they call chili here in Colorado, but the red and chunky sort that we had in Texas. I really want to eat this thing.

TriceraTACO Taco Holder: That’s Prehistoric Mexico Right Here, Folks.

Posted on by

Out of all the extinct dinosaurs, none saddened me more than the disappearance of the TriceraTACO who would majestically carry tacos for other dinosaurs to devour. But good news. TriceraTACO is back as an awesome taco holder.

What could be better than a dinosaur carrying a couple of tacos for you? Nothing. What could beat that? Look at how excited that kid in the picture is. That kid scares me. But I understand his excitement. Give me my taco dinosaur, so I can eat it while my mom hides the forks and knives.

Now I’m hungry for tacos and I have no dinosaur to deliver them. Guess I better place my order quick.

Taco Bell Naked Chicken Chalupa: The Chicken is the Shell

Posted on by

As much as I like to talk about weird foods, I somehow missed this new Taco Bell invention that was announced back on January 10. That is sort of ok because it only showed up at Taco Bell locations yesterday. It’s called the Naked Chicken Chalupa.

The thing here is that the chicken is the shell and the shell is the chicken (at least that is how Taco Bell describes it). Essentially you have a chicken patty fried up all curved to hold the condiments to the chicken chalupa. Inside the thing, you can get the regular taco fillings like lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, along with a special avocado ranch sauce.

You can get just the Naked Chicken chalupa for $2.99 or you can get it in a combo box, which comes with a Doritos Locos taco, crunchy taco, and a medium drink for $5.
