Speaking of taco shells... I prefer the "stand and stuff" form. It is one of the best two things white folks brought with them to the new world (the other is the wheel).
However, a while back those bitches at Ortega (who must own the 'stand and stuff' patent - because this is America and they need to find a way to recoup their R&D costs) changed the formula resulting in a dry, grainy shell with all the allure of eating a scab. It is terrible. Now i have to choose between tacos that either taste good OR stand on the own, but I cannot have both. This sucks and has made taco night a disaster. There are taco-fillings all over the floor ground into the carpet. I am getting too emotional.
