My sister is getting married and she said she wants to have an Indy Taco Bell canon for when she walks down the isle. I thought this was awesome! Fricking flying tacos at church! She can be snooty at times so having tacos shot out of a canon to salute her wedding march is vary cool of her. I wanted to make sure she went through with this so I said I would make all the arrangements. If I called Taco Bells would they have any idea what I’m talking about? She was worried it has fallen out of fashion. Aye-yi-yi! So, what’s going on here? Did they once rent out taco canons, but not anymore? Or is this something they would only have at an authentic Taco Bell in New Mexico? What does Indy legend A. J. Foyt have to do with it? We’ve still got some time to find one, or build one. I could probably get a compressor, some tubing, and a bunch of tacos and do it up myself if that’s what it takes to make her day special with flying tacos. ---

I get jokes. The problem is, if you’re mistakenly thinking cannon, why are you writing canon? ---

Not “Taco Bell.” _Paco_ Bell. ---

the Taco Bell canon are some scripture that Spanish missionaries used. ---

Must be a joke, the OP used the words “authentic” and Taco Bell" in the same sentence. ---

“Taco Bell Cannon” is what I call my ass a couple hours after eating their Burrito Supreme. You likely don’t want that firing at a wedding, I imagine. ---

Eat nothing but Taco Bell for several days prior to the wedding. The results will be explosive. ---

I hear that it’s also a good idea to have tortilla chips readily available; you could put up a sign: “Cheap maize, safely graze.” ---

Am I the only one who is surprised this isn’t really a thing? There’s the Taco Bell canon linked above, but no one has put up a video building or using a Taco Bell cannon? ---

[As you can see](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bIPM09Wbf64), the technology exists. They didn’t specifically mention tacos but it seems like a multi-purpose device. ---
