The Taco Rack: Attracts More Cartoon Mexican Men Than Your Current Rack
You know how it is: You spend a whole day pretending to work, then commuting home on the subway nestled almost entirely underneath some strange man’s sweaty gut, only to shout — out loud and to yourself — HOW AM I EVER GOING TO MAKE SIX PERFECTLY CRISP TACOS ALL AT ONCE? Well, wonder no more! The Taco Rack, the greatest invention since seizure-inducing infomercials:
If you’re a taco lover like us, you probably can’t bear to have your taco fillings scattered outside the shell. And that’s why we’ve created the Taco Rack, a simple device designed to carefully cradle your taco creations while you load ‘em up. The Taco Rack even allows your tacos to be transported into the oven without fear of breaking the shell or losing contents. It’s the neatest creation since the taco shell itself!
Or a dental dam. After the jump, please enjoy a compelling commercial featuring the tiny, stoned Mexican man who lives in all of us:
Yes, that’s right. (Whispered:) “La Cucaracka.”

Read the back of the box of hard taco shells… this is how I learned that taco shells aren’t supposed to taste like cardboard! They have to be baked for 7-10 minutes!

WoW… I saw this on a commercial a few months ago, and had to have it. I ordered it online and it was shipped to me within days. I followed the easy instructions (SO SIMPLE) and they were the BEST I ever had. Its true, no broken shells and they stay open so you can fill them with ease and serve them from oven to table. AWESOME little invention !
My neighbor bought a few racks back in April so she had them for a Cinco de Mayo party she was having. Everyone raved about them - they were the talk of the party.
I am going to be ordering a few more for Christmas stocking stuffers, and for my kids teacher’s gifts and grab bags at work… Thats a great idea ! Love the product - *****
