Nacho Regret Is a Myth
Nacho Regret Is a Myth
We’ve all heard it before. Someone pushes back from the table, sighs dramatically, and mutters, “I shouldn’t have eaten all those nachos.” But let’s be honest—have you ever actually regretted nachos? Like, truly? Because if you have, I’m going to argue that you weren’t eating them correctly.
Real nacho consumption follows a predictable emotional arc. It starts with pure anticipation, that thrilling moment when you see the golden chips, bubbling cheese, and perfectly distributed toppings arriving at your table. You dive in, strategizing to get the best balance of crunch, heat, and flavor. Somewhere in the middle, you lose control. The pace quickens. You’re chasing the perfect bite. But even at the very end, when the chips are gone and all that remains is a glorious mess of melted cheese and stray toppings, do you truly feel regret? Or do you feel pride?
If nachos are giving you “regret,” let’s diagnose the real problem. Were the chips soggy? Was the cheese distribution a structural failure? Did someone in your group steal all the best pieces, leaving you with a plate of sad, dry remnants? That’s not regret—that’s nacho injustice.
Let’s set the record straight. Nachos are always the right decision. They bring people together. They demand commitment. They require zero justification. So the next time you hear someone sigh about eating too many, just know—they’re lying to themselves. Because nacho regret is a myth.
