Hey kids, this looks like the perfect spot for your weekly installment of

FUN FACT TACO TRIVIA CORNER!

In 19th century Mexico, during the long tenure of President Porfirio Diaz, when the country's middle and upper class looked across the pond towards Europe for fashion and culture, proper etiquette dictated that tacos should be held and raised towards the mouth with three fingers on one side, the thumb on the opposite, and an outstretched pinky finger.

Even a lot of Mexicans nowadays don't know about this, you tell them and they will laugh in a getdafukouttahere! sort of way, fuhgedadoubit!
