The Italian/Mexican mix, "Spaghetti/Tacos"

We love spaghetti and we eat a lot of tacos, but we trying to come to terms with the "Italian/Mexican mix, "Spaghetti/Tacos."
It's received enough attention to attract Syracuse University professor of popular culture Robert Thompson.
He said the spaghetti taco has the air of inevitability about it -- "sort of like chocolate and peanut butter running into each other on that Reese's commercial," Plus, they've "made it possible to eat spaghetti in your car," he said. "It's a very important technological development."
Uh huh, thank you professor.
This all came about because of  iCarly's creator, Dan Schneider. "It was just a little joke I came up with for one episode," Schneider told the Times. "Then it turned into a running joke. And now it's this thing people actually do." 



But really, it's just spaghetti in a taco shell.
