Taco Bell’s going to start selling a chalupa housed in a shell made entirely of fried chicken. If a celebrity chef had come up with the idea, critics might call it “innovative,” “brilliant” and “daring.” Instead, the online commentary has treated the creation as an abomination of food science:

Dunkin Donuts in China offered a pork-and-seaweed donut (that noise you hear in the background is me vomiting up every last trace of food in my stomach).
British supermarket chain Tesco sold a “Lasagne Sandwich” for people who wanted pasta-on-the-go.
And then there’s the KFC Double Down. Without this all-important culinary leap forward, the chicken shell chalupa simply wouldn’t be possible.
