@blockwonkel reminds me there’s a whole bit in an upcoming book project of mine where a character tries to justify eating two チュロス at once because “that’s how you’re supposed to eat them! they didn’t call it a チュロ!”

I think it's funny that Taco is "takosu" in Japanese, like it's plural by default. It helps differentiate it from tako (octopus) but also like who tf eats just a single taco?
