How do you eat them? You take one bite out of them and the entire taco shell cracks, you are lucky if none of your fillings spill out. You spend all this time filling it up with meat, cheese, lettuce, and whatnot, making it look nice and tasty, then it all gets ruined with one bite. Biggest waste of time ever. What the hell?

That's why they made taco salads...for people who can't eat regular tacos without them falling apart.
