Moore, Oklahoma has been struck by many tornados. Here are the paths of tornadoes over the years in the Moore, Oklahoma area

Red:  May 3rd, 1999 Tornado Path
Blue:  May 8th, 2003 Tornado Path
Green:  May 20th, 2013 Tornado Path

You can see how a portion of the 2013 storm (green) overlaps the 1999 storm (red), which was an F5 tornado that did around 1.1 billion dollars in damage.  36 people died in that storm and 8,000 homes were badly damaged or destroyed.  source

Oklahoma also has some of the strongest tornados in the county.

Oklahoma sits in an area called “Tornado Alley” The cold air from the Rockies coupled with the moist air and dry air from the south create the perfect combination for the formation of tornados.

Oklahoma has had more violent tornadoes than any of state in the US from 1950-2011 according to ustornadoes.com

I know bacon weave taco shells have been done before, but none of the ones I’ve seen looked very appetizing to me. It seems like people sort of took the easy way out when making them and just tossed their bacon over a metal object, made sure the strips overlapped a little so they’d stick together and either baked or deep fried it like that so their shells just end up looking like squares of bacon that had been folded in half. Long story short, most of the bacon taco shells out there just don’t look very taco-shaped.

For my bacon taco shell I started off the same way I did when I made my Bacon Weave Quesdailla, by creating a square bacon weave, cooking it in my oven at 400° for about 15 minutes and then placing an upside down bowl over it and tracing around it with a knife until I was left with a circular bacon weave. After that I hung it over a couple kabob sticks that were balanced across empty beer bottles and left it like that for a few minutes so it would keep its shape. I’m sure that there was probably something better I could have draped it over, but you’ve gotta make due with what you’ve got right?

Since I wasn’t quite sure if beer bottles were safe to put in the oven I swapped them out for a couple pint glasses, put them on a baking sheet, hung my bacon weave taco shell between them and slid it back into my oven for another ten minutes so it could finish cooking.

Granted, I’m sure the beer bottles would have been fine, but I didn’t know if the labels would burn or if the glue that holds them to the bottle is toxic. Then again, when you’re eating stuff like this on a regular basis a little bit of toxic glue should probably be the least of your worries….

In the end my Bacon Weave Taco ended up looking — and tasting — way better than I ever could have imagined. Once it was done baking I filled it to the brim with seasoned ground beef, sour cream, lettuce, tomato and shredded cheese and took a bite. It was completely amazing, and aside from that the shell actually looked exactly like a real taco shell!

Amazon — The cleverness of this logo is twofold. The arrow points from a to z, referring to all that is available on Amazon.com, and it doubles as a satisfied smile (with dimple).

Baskin Robbins — This logo, introduced in 2005, cleverly uses the company’s initials to advertise its number of ice cream flavors (31).

Coca-Cola — The soda brand’s latest campaign in Denmark points out something you may have missed; the Danish flag (with a bulge) embedded in the white script.

Eighty20 — This market data research company incorporated the binary code spelling of their name. Using blue squares as ones and grey squares as zeros, 1010000 (80) is the top line, while 0010100 (20) is the bottom.

FedEx — The FedEx logo hides an arrow in its negative space. Even a glance subliminally inspires thoughts of efficiency and forward motion.

Jack In The Box — The old logo of this fast food chain features a not-so-subliminal Ichthys (or “Jesus fish”). The religious component of this design is merely hypothesized.

LG — Some think the LG logo is a Pac-Man reference (requires a bit of imagination). The smiling, winking face is more apparent (but only slightly).

Milwaukee Brewers — It’s easy to miss the second meaning of this throwback logo from the baseball team. The mitt is obvious, but the built-in letters usually elude the viewer.

NBC — Most are familiar with the peacock in the NBC logo, but it’s still easy to overlook.

Presbyterian Church — This church’s logo is brimming with symbolism; there are 8 different symbols buried in the main image.

Sun Microsystems — Before it was bought by Oracle, Sun was a major computer manufacturer. Its logo is a perfect ambigram; it can be read from any direction. (Note also that the graphic doesn’t actually include an S, merely artfully arranged u’s and n’s.)

Toblerone — See the dancing bear in the mountain? The design is a tribute to the Swiss town where the chocolate was developed.

Tostitos — The not-so-hidden design within this logo conjures up feelings of togetherness and friendship over chips and salsa.

Tour de France — Slightly more abstract than the other examples, the Tour de France logo contains a well-integrated biker.

Vaio — This cool logo for Sony’s computers represents the brand’s integration of analog and digital technology. The ‘VA’ is designed as an analog waveform, the ‘IO’ is binary code.
