Taco Tuesday
Hey there... Welcome back to Toni Taddeo's Tuesday 4.
Taco Tuesday was coined by a Taco John's owner back in 1980 when he needed to jack up sales for Tuesday the slowest day of the week. His franchise began offering 2 tacos for 99¢. It was a huge hit and Taco Tuesday became a big hit in America. But it's original name was Taco Twos Day.
Could we look at Tuesday a bit?
1. Do you take part in this nationwide ritual and have tacos on Tuesday or do you like them any old time? I like them anytime, but funny to say, Im meeting friends at a restaurant tomorrow, Tuesday, and as I perused the online menu yesterday I decided on tacos for tomorrow. Almostt spooky, but I will really enjoy them even more now!
2. This particular Taco John's was in Wyoming. Does your state have a favorite fast food place and do you like eating there? I would have to say I do not think we do have a particular fast food joint particular to our state just the same ole ones we see everywhere. But I do have my favorites like Firehouse Subs.. fresh yummy subs with out the greasy additives!
3. Taco Tuesday was trademarked in 1989 in 49 states except New Jersey where the Gregory Hotel owns that trademark. Taco Bell wants to sue over the use of the term. What do you think about that? Ridiculous, what if all fast food places with a food item in the name did that. So dumb!
4. How do you like your tacos? Soft or hard shell? Hot, medium or mild salsa? Cheese? Sour cream? I prefer soft with a medium to mild salsa, bring on the cheese and a dollop of sour cream. A bit of fresh salad and tomato on top, please! YUM!!!!
Oh, now I am hungry for a taco, and it isn't even Tuesday yet. I guess I need to go find this meme for tomorrow and be sure to answer the questions. So I will save my answers for then. I like your answers, and your taco favorites sounds good to me. Although, for a taco, I do like the original corn hard tortilla shell. I use the soft flour tortillas for enchiladas. I also love taco salad. Have a lovely Memorial Day today.
ReplyDeleteI love both kinds of tacos, soft and hard shell. And always with lettuce, tomato, and a little sour cream! And I agree with you, I don't believe Taco Bell should have exclusive rights over the term Taco Tuesday. Enjoy your tacos tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your answers and you enjoy your tacos.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you on #3.
I really like Firehouse Subs! We haven't eaten there in a while. That sounds good. Loved your answers! Have a nice week.

I got a kick out of your real taco Tuesday. I hope you had a wonderful time today. I like them anyway I can get them. I haven't had them in a while now so I need to get cracking and make some.
ReplyDeleteI've only been to firehouse subs once. Enjoyed your answers.
