FIVE TACO REFERENCES IN MOVIES

3. Superbad - When Seth and Evan are trying to figure out what to get their friend Fogell for his birthday, they settle on tacos because "everyone likes tacos."

4. The Office - In the episode "The Dundies," Michael Scott gives an award for "Best Taco" to Pam Beesly, even though she doesn't even like tacos.

5. Parks and Recreation - In the episode "Ron and Tammy," Ron Swanson gets into a heated argument with his ex-wife Tammy over the fact that she put ground beef in their tacos instead of steak.

Of course our friends at Taco Bell are bringing back another item - could be the return of the double decker taco!
