And when I say giant, I mean the size of the French Quarter in NOLA. The FQ is 6 streets deep and 13 streets long, so this is a big taco. The taco falls around midday in whatever city you so choose and remains largely intact.

How would the media react? Would it be media storm? Alien conspiracy theories? Police investigations?

How would the the economy react? Would there be taco cults that would form? People who try to live in the taco? Riots over the taco? A taco religion?

And of course, how would you react? If it's in another city, would you drive to see the taco? Try to tell the world that the taco is a trojan horse?

I for one could see the media turning it to craziness. Republicans and democrats would form sides on the giant taco. People would start camping as close to the taco as they could. Scientists would begin excavating the taco.

Hungry people would fight over a piece of the taco. A new religious cult would worship the sacred taco as a gift from a made up deity. Police investigations and alien conspiracy stories would be all over the news. Alien life forms may have dropped the taco from a spaceship and poisoned it because they may see us as a gluttonous, greedy species polluting the air and may see our planet as a place that can be made as their new home. The ones who did not eat any of the poisoned taco or use it against any religious or political agendas would be allowed to remain living on the planet because they would be considered intelligent life forms able to contribute to the new alien civilization. Yes, I believe in life on other planets.

I think if a giant taco fell out of the sky it would smash upon impact, spraying everything with copious amounts of beef and sour cream. If it landed in a major city it would cause much chaos, death and destruction. People would be crushed to death, suffer burns from the hot fillings and sauce, or even get huge pieces of taco shell lodged in their body. And if it was an American city, they would probably blame Mexico even if they didn't do it because Americans are all racist by nature. Then they would build a gigantic apple pie and drop it on Mexico, while up here we Canadians will start digging a large trench over the border to literally separate ourselves from the rest of the madness.

My friend actually brought up the theory that aliens would put eggs inside the taco meat and those who ate the meat would be goners.

Interesting...didn't think of the taco causing separation. This would especially occur if aliens became involved or a war started. I think I would go aid in the trench building. Maybe life after taco would result in a scenario where this would make sense.

People in the U.S. would immediately involve it in their immigration debates, citing the taco as proof that Mexican immigration was getting out of hand.

I absolutely love the movie version but the idea just came to me when I was walking in the FQ. What would happen if a giant taco fell to earth right now? A building collapsed in the FQ a few months ago and it was all over the news. A giant taco would just cause chaos.

Why not a giant hamburger, hot dog, or apple pie?

Are you suggesting that aliens are.....aliens?

Illegales?

America only has.... 'merican E.T's. Not Mexican E.T.'s!
