Description

The Snack Squad fired off a real bombshell this time; introducing Taco Torpedo! Exploding onto the scene and packed with a blast of flavor, this tiny taco is ready to amp up your day in the most playful way. Behind that innocent smile on a plain tortilla, you'll find a burst of flavor and color so powerful that even a glimpse of it may just be too much for mere mortals - good thing that shell is fully intact! Unlike a real taco, this one won't fall apart on you, so feel free to pick it up and give it a hug. In fact, that kind of behavior is explicitly encouraged, 'cuz this soft taco is way silkier and squishier than anything you can get from behind a fast food counter. Coming in clutch with a mini-me along for the ride, this taco satisfies, no matter the size. 🌮

The word "taco", such a simple and tantalizing term, actually had nothing to do with food when it was first coined! Mexican miners in the 18th century used the word to refer to small, wrapped-up explosive charges. The word started to be used for the iconic foodstuff because of their similarity. There wasn't originally a name for the humble taco; ancient Mexicans simply started using tortillas to scoop up random ingredients, and a star was born. Authentic Mexican tacos are a bit different from the American kind - most street food vendors lose the cheese and some other toppings in favor of fresher fare, like cilantro and lime. Not that the United States got tacos wrong - Glenn Bell was clearly onto something, because by the time the famous TV chihuahua started spouting lines en Español, the whole nation was hooked. These days, Americans eat so many tacos every year, you could lay them shell-to-shell, and the line would go to the moon and back - twice! 

This little explosion of flavor is available in two kickin' varieties - and I do mean kickin', he's got no arms, just legs. There's a jumbo plush that measures 9.8 inches, and a more diminutive one that stands at a towering 7 inches on the nose - or on the tomato, as it were. No matter which one you pick, you'll get a shell that's made of soft plush polyester, not hard or crunchy by any means. The filling, meanwhile, isn't beef and toppings; it's super silky polypropylene cotton down. If your taco takes a tumble, don't give him another - a typical wash and dry would leave Senor Torpedo shrunken, faded, and warped. Instead, a simple hand wash with warm water and mild soap will help him keep on bringin' the flavor.
