To: a fool in paradise

I am out of my element.

I’m talking about food, and the unique flavors some of the local food trucks are putting out there. I find the value they provide good and the quality even better. Especially given the lack of frequency at which I am able to eat at them.

You are talking about hipsters, economics, and Democrats. They don’t serve them at the food trucks I go to.

Did you even read the article?

It doesn’t even mention food trucks (but they are a foodie trend that the corporate brick and mortar franchises like Chipotle are trying to target).

I don’t have a television so I don’t recall which chain was boasting of selling “street tacos”. At a franchise box restaurant. Street tacos is the term for those you buy from a vendor on the street.

The ARTICLE’s headline mentions “hip” as a demographic.

Here are some $4 tacos (that are worth about $2.50 in an honest market) that include terms like The Democrat and the Trashy Trailer Park anbd “Dirty Sanchez” (DON’T look that one up) and all sorts of “edgey” (look FLAMES and DEVILS!) graphics.

If you were too blind to see how HOPEY-CHANGEY Obama was branded to sell him to young voters, then you missed out. PepsiCo (another “hip” company according to the article) used the same HOPE and YES YOU CAN slogans that Obama did in the wake of his victory.

I’m not just here ranting. I’m commenting on the marketing ideas in the article.

A fool and his money are soon parted. A sucker is born every minute.
