The CEO is no huge fan of Taco Bell; when I am in the mood for cheap fast food Wendy’s or McD’s usually gets my dollar. However, Taco Bell has one thing seriously going for it: the Double Decker taco. The boffins in the Taco Bell R&D department (aka “The Taco Lab”) really outdid themselves when they put the Double Decker on the menu. For those of you who don’t know, imagine a regular hard taco then wrapped in a flour tortilla, with refried beans used as the ‘glue’ to hold the two together. A breathtaking work of staggering genius, if you ask me.
On Fridays my office usually gets lunch catered; today lunch was from Taco Del Mar. There was a nice spread of taco makings and sides delivered in our lunch room by about noon. I was running a little late and didn’t make it in there until about 12:30, so most of the office was already eating when I arrived to assemble my lunch. I made myself a Double Decker taco and went to sit down. The table went silent. People stared at my glorious taco in disbelief. Jaws were dropped. I could easily read their minds: “I wish I had his taco. I am so stupid. Why didn’t I do that?” I ate it nice and slow, making sure everyone got a good long look. The superiority of the CEO’s taco-fu is now unquestioned in my place of employment. If only I could say the same about the actual duties of my job.
