Americans Celebrate National Taco Day; I Suffer Immensely

Yeah, you tell them, Red!
Yeah, you tell them, Red!

There is nothing more depressing for this blogger than National Taco Day, when everyone – and their abuela – take to social media to share what they think are … tacos.

The good news is that it’s also National Vodka Day, so I’m off for a very early one to be able to take the pain.

Sunday Oct. 4 is National Taco Day in the U.S. (don’t ask) and everyone is really excited.

And by everyone I mean everyone.

Take the Augusta Police Department in Maine, that will be holding a taco eating contest starting at 3 p.m.

According to the Augusta, Main Facebook page, the first eater to finish a ‘Taco Gigante’ will earn $250 donation to the charity of their choice. The event will take place at Margaritas Augusta –naturally.

¡Ole!
¡Ole!
