There actually is a front and back side to a taco (depending on where you go mainly, but for this discussion, I refer to TACO HELL). Ok, the front side of the taco is the least filled side of the taco. The back side of the taco is where the sour cream goes (if you have sour cream in your taco.) Most companies that I know of will put the back side in first in the wrapper, so the closed side of the wrapper gives away the back side. You can, of course, rotate the taco in the wrapper, but the back end will be facing incorrectly if you do so. I hope this helps to educate everyone on a front and backside as it can be really embarassing if you eat the backside first (this normally causes all the sour cream to gob out getting all over everything).

Hmm, why are tacos such confusing objects? Hey and about your taco theory about the wrapper, what about, how does the person who's wrapping it, know where to make the back? Man this question is a nonstop pain in the behind. Well I'll tell pablo (if I ever see him again) that his topic about the tacos, has been ressurected, and I have made it a successful project. So, about the taco, how will the wrapper know?

I thought this was common knowledge... [img]tongue.gif[/img]
I also said this in the first thread, so I don't know why you made a new one

That is very wise, Regin..
I wonder why no one cares about it? [img]graemlins/confused2.gif[/img]

Ouch! My head...

the experiment only works while the cats health is determined by the state of a quantum particle, which traditional fires a gun upon decay, but original broke a vial of poison gas.

tacos are not quantum mechanical objects, so the experiment has no meaning here. (actualy it has no real meaning, it was an attempt to explain how wierd Quantum mechanics can get). a taco can be considered a quantum object for the purposes of back&front however, provided you dont have information about the placement of the ingredients.
