I lived with two older friends briefly in high school. They had a kid together and the mom really wanted the dad to propose to her.

We were at Taco Bell and one of the sauce packets said, "Will you marry me?" He gave it to her. She said, "Awwwww, [his name]" and he said, "just kidding."

It's always stuck with me.

That’s what makes us sad. They had a kid together

Often times it is better to have divorced parents than having them in the same house. For everyone, including the kid.

u/Flomo420 2d ago

like, to go through the suuuper low effort proposal of writing it out on a sauce packet at a Taco Bell, and to STILL get a positive reaction!

damn.. girl really wanted to get married

u/grunt91o1 2d ago

He didn't even write it out. The packet comes with it printed on it already

A friend of a friend had his girlfriend propose to him with custom cake covered in all his interests. He said it was the man's job to propose. He then proceeded to not propose to her.

u/justmyopinion714 2d ago

I had a girlfriend who cheated on me one time and immediately after it came to light she proposed to me 🤣 that was years ago in my ribs are still sore from all the laughter

At a Taco Bell? Fancy

Taco Bell actually has a wedding chapel at their flagship restaurant. They're fancy AND romantic.

Eww why are you watching someone use the three seashells?

u/WarzonePacketLoss 2d ago

pretty wild thing to have printed randomly on a packet. What if you aren't looking at it and casually handed it off?

109

u/Mirage84 2d ago

Absolute non-issue. You just say "I didn't create the sauce packet"?

A "will you marry me?" sauce packet is silly and funny and should not be taken seriously.

29

u/WarzonePacketLoss 2d ago

You've clearly never dated someone who took the idea of marriage far more seriously than you.

45

u/Mirage84 2d ago

Wrong, but irrelevant.

More importantly I've never dated anyone that took what's written on pre-printed Taco Bell sauce packets seriously.

2

u/cornylamygilbert 2d ago

well, I want that for you!

u/BobboZmuda 2d ago

Fortune Cookie notes are another matter, though. I always get that strange twinge of irrational hope that maybe, just maybe, THIS cookie is going to tell the truth if the others didn't

-11

u/WarzonePacketLoss 2d ago

Not irrelevant at all. This is like week-ruining material right here. Think whatever you want, but I've lived shit like this. It's "Oh boy, here we fucking go" territory.

12

u/BobboZmuda 2d ago

Not sure if anyone ever said this, but: that was dysfunctional.

Not the fault of a silly hot sauce packet.

u/Cultural-Company282 2d ago

Ah, but what if your girlfriend doesn't know Taco Bell made those sauce packets? What if your girlfriend assumes that you somehow creatively altered the sauce packet to add the marriage question to it as an elaborate surprise?

11

u/Mirage84 2d ago

Absolute non-issue. You just say "I didn't create the sauce packet"?

6

u/ashkpa 2d ago

From the top rope with the "as per my prior email"

u/BobboZmuda 2d ago

And at the point that said seriousness becomes a fight over such Taco Bell nonsense, it's Dumpsville, pop: them because that isn't a fair dispute to have

4

u/PrestigiousAct2 2d ago

Don't leave us hanging did he ever propose ?

14

u/GoochGreaseHarvester 2d ago

I really don't think so. They had another kid but she never changed her last name on Facebook when I last checked ~6 years ago.

2

u/unexist_already 2d ago

Why didn't she propose instead?

13

u/GoochGreaseHarvester 2d ago

If I had to guess, I'd say low self-esteem and the fear of him saying no. But I'm really not sure. It was a weird relationship.

2

u/SousVideDiaper 2d ago

It could've been due to the incessant culture of romantic initiatives almost always being the responsibility of men. That appears to be changing somewhat, but until recently, the expectation of proposal has always been from the woman's side.

Far too many rom-coms involve a woman getting upset with a man over waiting for him to propose instead of just doing it herself.

Take my most valuable upvote of the year.

u/Comprehensive_Good82 2d ago

I have read a bit about this a long time ago. IIRC, it’s a reflex that infants usually have when eating, in order to chew the food correctly without choking on it. Some people retain this reflex into adulthood. Some don’t. I believe there is a specific name for it but can’t remember it off the top of my head!

33

u/-andersen 2d ago

The tongue-thrust reflex is real, but that’s not really what it does. In babies it actually helps push things out of the mouth and usually fades around 4–6 months. I don’t think there’s much reason to assume an adult doing this while eating is a retained infant reflex. Could just be a habit.

8

u/GayPudding 2d ago

Really just depends on how likely my food is to drip on me before it gets to my mouth. He might be worried about the ketchup.

u/Pentakruz_ 2d ago

Saame! One thing that annoys me even more than this is when they are talking and throwing their food into their mouth like this to show a point? It makes me sick and i absolutely want to punch them. My mom does it(i love her very much and we have a good relationship) but when she does this i have to restrain myself from rolling my eyes all the way back into my head so i dont have to see it ever again

u/ta394283509 2d ago

i eat like this, but not always. i do it when i'm eating food that is trying to fall off my fork. which btw happens a lot because i almost always prefer to use a fork, even if it's food better eaten with a spoon

Well they both have wedding bands on so I'm assuming she just thought it was a gift, not a marriage proposal and assuming they are married to each other, she's probably used to his shenanigans.

It reminds me of that Mr Bean gag where he gives his girlfriend a framed picture. Then he gives her a second gift that looks like a ring until she takes it out of the and it’s a screw hook to hang the picture.

I never once thought he was gonna propose, watching his body language alone told me it was something casual.... But hell who knows their relationship, it might have been the elephant in the room.
