Recently a Pennsylvania woman was on her way to a hospital to give birth, but had to pull over into a Taco Bell parking lot because that baby could not wait… for that delicious Baja Blast Mountain Dew! And also to be spawned into this terrible world! The baby was ok, but the mother was quoted as saying, “I think that we at least deserve some nachos out of this because that happened” This brings us to the age old question: if you give birth in a Taco Bell parking lot, do you in fact deserve nachos?

I like to think that I have my thumb on the pulse of the Nacho Nation, being the world’s foremost expert on nachos and all, but sometimes things slip through my grasp. This is probably due to all the cheese and chip grease on them, but that’s nacho fingers for you. One of the nacho things that I recently overlooked was the release of a new nacho tome, The Nacho Manifesto, by Jack Campbell. One hand wipe, visit to a popular online book retailer, and two days later, I rectified that situation.

Sometimes when you have a sibling they want to go to some place to eat for their birthday, and you really don’t have a call about where because it’s not YOUR special day. Occasionally they want to go to some garbage place and you just have to go along and eat whatever garbage food they want, just because they were garbage born. Other times though they pick some place delicious to eat, like The Painted Burro.
Read MoreIS IT THE 75TH NATIONAL NACHO DAY?
Think about this:
(1) Ignacio Anaya invented nachos invented in 1943.
(2) November 6th has been designated as National Nacho Day.
(3) International Nacho Day was designated as October 21st.
(4) The exact date that the first order of nacho was created on is unknown, other than that it was in 1943.
(5) The exact year that National Nacho Day was designated is unknown.
(6) The year that International Nacho Day was designated was 1975, upon the death of Ignacio Anaya.
So do we:
(A) Say that today is the 75th National Nacho Day, and count it from the year nachos were created, even though it wasn’t made a holiday until later?
(B) Never celebrate National Nacho Day and instead switch to celebrating International Nacho Day so the whole world can join in?
(C) Say that nachos have been around for 75 years now, and just celebrate that on National Nacho Day, but don’t ever attribute a year to the number of National Nacho Days that have occurred?
(D) Debate what days really are and realize that time is a man-made construct and instead just eat and appreciate nachos every day?
We here at Nachonomics would never dream to tell you how you should be celebrating with nachos, other than to follow whatever food appreciating laws there are wherever you live, but we hope that you are celebrating them as much as you can. If it takes a made up holiday in order to do that then all the better, but know that nachos can be enjoyed no matter the day of the year that it is. Be sure to say that when you hit up your favorite nacho restaurant and see if they fall for it by giving you the holiday discount. Suckers.
