Real life is not comic books. There is no possible way that tiny orange blob in any way obscures who that guy is except to people who already don't know. XD

That said...meh. Weirder things happen in fast food to worry about some guy licking it. Besides, unless he had an exceptionally moist mouth, the salt and corn would've dried off all the spit after the first 6 inches of shells or so.

That orange blob isn't on most of the pics circulating the web.

My dad used to work at Taco Bell before I was born. He got into a food fight once while they were cleaning up. XD

Human spit has antibacterial properties. Those are probably the healthiest tacos Taco Bell has ever served.

This is relevant to my interests.

How antibacterial are we talking here?

Go to the source of my knowledge as I'm a poor facsimile.

Saliva discussion begins at about 4:30. The discussion of antibacterial and healing properties begins at about 8:20. There's a lot of info there in general but it's about 30 minutes in total; digestion is a fascinating topic. One of these days I intend to read her book.

Salivary enzymes lyse the bacteria

Ain't modern microbiology grand?

Nevermind the sort of things they're learning about the gut >.>

Compared to some of the horrible things that go on in the fast-food industry, a guy licking taco shells isn't that big of a deal.
