Taco!

Nicky Glassman

Taco! is a two-piece taco saver made to catch the ingredients that fall out of a taco and turn it into a new taco. It also brings a comedic awareness to food waste since the container is modeled as a trash can.

Food waste is a major problem in the US today. Right now, people think it is fine to take as much food as possible, and often this leads to them not finishing their food letting it go to waste. Instead of limiting how much people take, Taco! repurposes to food turning it into a new taco. Tacos often break and cause the insides to fall out and ruining the taco. With Taco! there is a tortilla at the bottom of the bowl ready to catch the fillings making a soft shell taco. Along with the two pieces of the bowl, there is a strap to keep the two pieces together. For the best use of the Taco! take the top piece off and flip it over, then rest the top piece on the bottom one. As the taco is eaten, if the person leans over the bowl, as the taco bits fall out, they go into a funnel that guides the taco bits into the shape of taco filling. When the first taco is done, take the top piece off, take the tortilla out, fold the taco, and enjoy Taco!
