Current Events > DevsBro explains #2: Why crunchy tacos are better than soft ones.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Here on DevsBro explains, we take common misconceptions and educate people on the truth of the matter. In DevsBro explains #1, we learned why hot weather is better than cold weather. This time, we'll explore the misconception that soft tacos are better than crunchy ones. Crunchy tacos are better because:

1. They're crunchy.
Now some people do it wrong, and for those people I feel sympathy. They'll grab a pack of taco shells at the grocery store, open it up, take one out, fill it and struggle to bite the thing. Yikes! No wonder these people are confused!

When you do it right, the shell breaks nice and easily but still crunches in a delicious fashion that fills your mouth with great texture and joy. Something soft tacos can not.

2. They're rigid.
Soft tacos are flippity floppity and won't work with you. They belong in an infomercial. Two hands required for sure, unless you bend down to the table I guess. Crunchy tacos are rigid and will go in your mouth when you tell them to. One-handed is a viable option.

3. Corn tortilla guaranteed (or better yet...)
With crunchy tacos, you're guaranteed a superior corn tortilla while a soft taco will often come with a dumb flour one. Or sometimes, puffy tacos are available, where they use that puffy taco salad shell stuff to make the shell. Which is the best possible thing. It's probably made of flour. But it's far superior to dumb floppy flour tortillas.

So now that we have all been educated, go and make the right choice for your future tacoing!

Except half the time you bite it, it splits in half at the bottom. Plus bits of the shell get all over the place.

Soft > hard

Ocassionally getting stabbed in the gums by a piece of hard taco shell fucking sucks.

Soft shell tacos are God damn glorious.

Actual fried corn tortillas are best. If its not that, Ill take the soft flour tortilla over the crunchy shell.

I barbecued with Mexicans at a party at work. Tortillas from off the grill are incredible.

Class, class. Stop laughing. There are no stupid questions.

As explained in point 1, the crunchy taco shells are much more mangeable if you prepare them properly. Which can be as simple as warming them in the microwave.
