Reflections on Tacos and Refracted Language Skills

                Tacos are delicious.  Unfortunately, they have several downsides caused by their thin brittle shells.  Fortunately for taco-lovers everywhere, there are now soft-tacos that have all of the tasty goodness of tacos without the disadvantages of a shell. 
Tacos have always had a problem with the limited amount of space that the shells provide for vegetables, salsa, sour cream, and other necessary additions to the meat.  While the open-endedness of the shell would seem to allow for an unlimited amount of such necessities, such is not the case.  The shell is simply too thin for a reasonable amount of toppings to be added.  Additionally, the only way to include even this limited amount of vegetable matter is to stack them on until your taco is the height of the Empire State Building.  While some might say that this is a good thing, it only succeeds in separating your meat from the rest of the taco.  When you want to take a bite that includes the crunch of the vegetables, the spice of the salsa, and the flavor of the meat, you find yourself unable to because no human mouth is wide enough to include it all.  You are forced to eat the vegetables and salsa off the top, and then eat your meat without toppings, effectively destroying the reason to get toppings in the first place. But this is not the worst part. 
Taco shells are so brittle that you have barely taken your first meat-less bite when the entire shell cracks down the bottom, releasing your meat and toppings to fall to the cold, dirty ground.  In a split second, all your hopes for a delicious taco experience are ruined. 
Soft tacos can end this tragedy.  With soft tacos, the meat and the toppings are combined in a tortilla wrapped to just the right size to fit in your mouth.  The tortilla is also flexible, and will not crack when you bite it.  With the right vegetables inside, your soft taco can have all of the crunch of a crispy taco without all of the additional problems inherent in this flawed design.  Spread the word.  Your day does not have to be ruined by a defective crispy taco.  Soft tacos are here to help.
P.S. English is a fun curse.  How else would I have learned how to affectedly communicate about the dreadsome probléma?
