TUPELO – The newest controversy in town is over the election between Pizza vs Tacos.
Over the past few weeks the polling numbers have indicated that tacos would win. However, after the #tacobowel movement earlier this week, it is projected that pizza might have a comeback.
Lifelong Tupelo resident and former tacoholic Evan Antony was one of the many affected by an average Taco Bell meal.
“Electing tacos is just plain reckless,” he said. “You have to stay within running distance to the bathroom at all times. What kind of a life is that? I’m voting for pizza so that tacos won’t win.”
Others, like local vegan Garrett Hamilton, look past the stigma and think about the ingredients themselves.
“When deciding which food to vote for, I ask myself, which one looks most like a salad?”
26-year-old Pizza Administration volunteer Ashleigh Lucas argues that you can’t go wrong with pizza.
“Pizza is a stable and reliable go-to food,” she said. “It appeals to the more traditional American food enthusiasts who always have and always will have pizza night every Friday.”
As it gets closer to the election, both sides are getting aggressive with their advertising tactics. A Taco Administration volunteer allegedly threw a slice of pizza at a passerby, blaming the pizza for burning her face. On the other side, volunteers have been seen taking people’s tacos away and crumbling them up to prove that tacos are weak.
“Tupelo needs to come together united as one and not let politics tear it apart,” Tupelo resident Meredith Burke said. “Like Abraham Lincoln said, ‘a house divided against itself cannot stand.’”
The voting office is based out of a new, hip restaurant fittingly named Pizza vs Tacos so that you can’t miss it.
