When people think of the heart, typically on days like Valentine's or during a break up or quadruple bypass, they typically envision the classic upturned butt shape with a triangle below it rather than the fist sized pumping organ that dwells within us all. This is fine, as after all organs are gross and don't really get one in the mood for love, and if they do you should consult psychiatric help ASAP least the police find you in the pit full of dismembered body parts you are living in while you chow down on heart after heart of your unlucky victims. Every now and then you should think of your heart though, especially as a nacho fan for the dish itself is not the most heart healthy. This Valentine's Day, give your loved one the ultimate gift, get your heart checked out to make sure you aren't at risk of a heart attack from the massive amount of nachos you consume. 610,000 heart related deaths occur a year in the United States so be sure to take care of yourself, because you don't want Death to be your date for Valentine's. The more you know, play theme twinkle.

Oh, wait, you meant the 1970’s? Well, I’m not exactly sure what happened then, um, probably some wars in the Middle East, that’s a safe bet. Some president did some things that some Americans liked and others didn’t? Oh, and nachos got a bad rap I’m sure they didn’t deserve, that’s a guarantee.

Review: Taco Bell Spicy Beefy Nacho Crunchwrap Slider
Crispy Fritos® , Seasoned Beef, Nacho Cheese Sauce, Spice-Loaded Creamy Chipotle Sauce
I lot of people have been coming up to me and asking, “Man, why you got such a hate on for Taco Bell?” How all these obvious plants from the Taco Bell corporation are now able to find me I know not, but when they do I used to be able to say, “Because all their nacho offerings are subpar and occasionally they just rename the food they previously have to confuse you into thinking they’ve made something new and delicious instead of actually making something new that could actually be delicious.” BUT NO LONGER!
