    Taco! How did Taco became the preferred food for mer community?

    I always wondered about this but I'm really curious for the answer. How did Taco became the food of choice for this community? Is there some interesting history I don't know about? Do you love Taco?

    This is...oddly out of character

    I don’t think tacos hold up poolside, either :P

    Will you stay as you are, or be delivered to the waves?

    On Facebook within the mer community, there is a lot of post about Taco Bells and Taco. It's at a meme level within the mer Facebook community.

    This is why I'm so curious. There nothing within freshwater and ocean water for any similar food . That why I feel I missed something.

    I don't know, but tacos are delicious. Although I'm ambivalent to some pita bread with chicken or lamb with some cheese as well.

    I do not have a clue, but the same thing happened to me on a fandom app. We all got taco obsessed and started making memes. We all even started putting tacos in our profile pictures.

    Is not Taco also the Japanese word for Octopus (or squid/calamari) At least on the menus around here (SF bay area.)

    I seem to recall an antidote about a Mexican exchange student in Japan ...

    "Tako" with a K, is the Japanese word for Octopus yes!

    Me personally, I love a good Cheesy Gordita Crunch from Taco Bell. LOL!

    Well if it wasn't a thing before, it's a thing now. We may as well ride the wave of taco memes at this point. Every time I eat tacos I'm going to post a picture right here in this thread for an inexplicable reason (or is it explicable?). Anyone up to join me?
