The Taco Spoon, and How to Deal With Stress
Spooning is a different matter. I believe spooning should be reserved for the bed. That’s the only place it really works.
So why do so many couples spoon at the taco stand I go to?!
Once or twice a week I like to get my dinner from Tito’s Tacos. It’s ghetto greatness, just a large stand with a dozen people in hair nets frantically making tacos for the taco deprived of Culver City. It’s wonderful blue collar, which is so hard to find in L.A.
The lines are long at Tito’s. It’s great for people watching. And I’ve noticed too many couples who spoon while they wait for their tacos. It’s not a hug, it’s not a reverse hug, it’s a full on stand-up position spoon. Sometimes the girl will even be standing on the guy’s feet as if these couples are frustrated that they can’t occupy the same space. I don’t mind public affection, but full on spooning? And why does it only happen at Tito’s Tacos?! Hmmmm…
Consider the taco. It is warm, full of love. And most importantly, it is a cripy shell SPOONING the meat inside. The taco is a food imitating the act of spooning! I think people subconciously think of spooning when they order their tacos, which just leads to such rediculous PDA.
Meh, what do I know. I still don’t have a boyfriend.
Anyway, tacos aren’t the healthiest food, so I’ll compensate by posting some links to actual health websites. The first deals with orac value and the second talks about how to deal with stress.
