Two Words: Taco Cannon

Who knew that #TacoCannon would be such a big thing?

I'm just minding my business yesterday and all of a sudden my Twitter feed explodes with news of the Voodoo Taco #TacoCannon.

It all started with this Tweet from @TacoVoodoo:

We are proud to announce our partnership with @UNOmaha and @omavs! Look for our logo and taco cannon at the new arena!
— Voodoo Taco (@TacoVoodoo) April 22, 2015

And it exploded (literally) from there.

At one point, #TacoCannon was the #1 trending topic on Twitter in Omaha:

It got coverage from @SBNation:

The Omaha World-Herald food writer even weighed in:

... and even "And Then There's Omaha" guy from @INCH weighed in:

And this (which made me laugh):

Nebraska-Omaha makes Frozen Four. Internet: "Cool." Nebraska-Omaha gets a taco cannon. Internet: "HOLY CRAP THIS IS AMAZING!!!!! AAAHHHHH"

It also spawned at least one meme:

And KETV's Thor Tripp did a story on it:

We're six months (exactly!) from the opening of the new UNO arena. And it just keeps getting better and better!
