I can hear an Ice Cream truck coming from blocks away and it’s instantly recognizable.

Why aren’t there Taco Trucks cruising around the neighborhood with an instantly recognizable sound and menu? All the grownups would come running outside waving to the Taco Truck.

The Taco Truck was invented in 1974 so it’s been 50 years now. I’ve known the sound of the Ice Cream Truck since I was like 3 years old, but I barely even know where the Taco Truck is. You’ve got to follow them around on social media…

    The music is because those trucks drive around.

    You can’t make tacos on the move, or any other kind of hot food really.

    Which is why food trucks park in locations and operate

      Business idea, solve the moving hot food issue and find a way to cook and sling tacos on the move. I don’t go out for ice cream trucks but I would for tacos.

        I stopped being excited for the Ice Cream Truck decades ago, but if I heard the Taco Truck coming around I’d be super excited and run outside with a big grin.

      If only you could prepare food in some sort of edible wrapper so that it stayed contained as you move from one location to another or could be launched from a truck on the move… hang on! I have an idea!

      You don’t need the grill to make tacos at least you don’t need it while you’re moving.

      You could make all the proteins and prep all the cold stuff ahead of time. You could run a generator and generate enough heat to keep shells and proteins hot, ice for the cold stuff.

      I have absolutely think you could sling tacos from a moving platform.
