I was at the grocery store this morning gathering supplies for Jena’s Video Game Party / Charity Thing and among the things I was tasked to get (chips, mountain dew, other nerd fuel) was taco stuff so she could make tacos for her teammates. When I grabbed the soft flour tortillas I wondered if I should grab some hard shell tortillas, too?



See, I hate hard shell tacos. Anybody who has talked to me for more than five minutes could tell you I’m a soft shell man. Hard shells are disgusting and unnatural in my eyes. They break and fall apart easily, going against their purpose of containing the taco ingredients and making a mess. If you manage to get the taco up to your mouth without it shattering, you’re basically shoving a landmine into your mouth, the first bite sending corn shrapnel flying to tear up the roof of your mouth. I seriously don’t understand why anybody would prefer hard shells.



I know I’m in the majority here, too. Go to any grocery store and the soft tortillas outnumber the hard 10 to 1. Taco Bell charges more for soft shell tacos and has to even sell Dorito flavored hard shell tacos to try to convert people.



I’m sure a couple of the people at this thing may think they want hard shells but soft shells are clearly the better choice. Sure, they’ll say they prefer them but really they’re choosing to like the hard shell better. I can’t see any other reason. I could never prefer a hard shell, how could anyone else?



Regardless of all of this I got a couple of hard shell packages. I think it’s wrong that they’d eat them but it’s not my place to tell people how to eat tacos, you know?

We’re all delicious on the inside.
