I'm sorry you have such a delicate constitution.

Otherwise, no, it's a regular Taco Bell taco shell, only lightly flavored and colored orange so the cool kids can tell you're eating one...

Still. Too much cheesiness for me. I'll pass.

But there aren't many things worse than coming home to find that the fast food people gave you the wrong thing. I was all like "here comes a delicious, terrible-for-you burrito," and my fast food bag went "lol orange taco," much to my terrible disappointment.

The taco is, essentially, a sandwich in how it is consumed. Such a rupture, then, constitutes a critical failure on the part of the taco shell. Mine did this too. Perhaps Dorito is not a strong enough material from which to manufacture taco shells.

I don't know. I feel like Taco Bell is lagging behind on the "guilt-inducing menu items" front. I don't know what they can do about that. Maybe they need to add the option to have any menu item deep fried. Perhaps a bacon cheeseburger sandwiched between two double decker tacos. Possibly even some kind of breakfast item. Do they do breakfast? I feel like Taco Bell could produce a breakfast menu item of some kind that would require people to sign a waiver.

It's not a Dorito's corn chip in the shape of a taco shell! It's a regular Taco Bell hard taco shell with a little orange food coloring and a light dusting of the Dorito's Nacho Cheese flavoring.

I DENY YOU SIR! There was a clear and distinct texture and tensile strength difference between my Doritos Locos gutbombination and the Supreme Taco that came with it.

Then perhaps it is the artificial nacho cheese flavoring that is compromising the integrity of the taco shell, causing a critical containment issue.

You Americans and your tacos. I've posted several times on this very forum how I find them impossible to eat.

One bite and my tongue, the walls and unknowing passers-by are peppered with taco shrapnel.
I'm sure there is a skill to eating tacos, but googling that brings up a whole new set of instructions for something I'm equally useless at.

I find conversations like this a little insensitive, if I'm being perfectly honest. I feel like I'm missing out on something.

Oh you are. You definitely are

Really, though, my guess is that most taco shells you get in Scotlandia are probably old or a locally made imitation. I don't know. Next time I'm up there I'll give one a shot. I'm in London next week, but I've not been given any time for a road trip or flight...

Yeah, that might be. I have Old El Paso ones if I'm having any. Which I don't because I can't.

Interestingly if you want to pay a tenner for some horrid British knock-off, you can.

Rave: They only took stuff I didn't really care that much about.

Aw man, I'm truly sorry to hear that. It's happened to me more than once and it's absolutely horrible.

But yeah, like you point out: they only took stuff.

Damn it, I told them to steal the Jeeps! And the dogs! And that trailer that hauls all of that! And that 30 foot boat!

Both Jeeps and the trailer are parked at a friend's house. And I've never owned a boat...

Glad you weren't home Deacon. I'd hate to see ANOTHER Stand Your Ground trial(circus) hit the media. You bought your house didn't you? Homeowner's going to cover all the stuff?
