Tacos are really, really, really, really, really delicious.
Not so delicious though is when you’re eating a Taco, and you go to place it down for a while but the filling comes crumbling out. D: Taco lovers out there understand my pain?
Now, I know you’re all cringing at the though of a sideways Taco, I know I am, but not to worry, I’ve invented a new, very simple yet ingenious (I’ll never be modest about my creations to rid the world of Taco-eating problems. >:D) contraption that prevents this problem, “The TACO holder”.
TACO holders are basically mini taco shells that I made courtesy of my ceramics class at school. They support a taco’s weight, so there’s no threat of a fallen taco. :3
So far, I’ve just made one batch of multicolored TACO holders (one you can see holding up the taco), but I’m going to make another set of them soon, learning from the flaws in the last one (I underestimated the side of tacos XD). When I do made a perfect batch, perhaps I’ll do a giveaway here 😉 That way we can all bask in the glory of upright tacos. 🙂
