The Lost Scrolls of Nacho

In the quiet halls of snack archaeology, few discoveries rival the unearthing of The Lost Scrolls of Nacho. Found in what experts describe as “the warm part of the pantry,” these crumbling records shed light on the origins of civilization’s most essential food group: the chip.

Scholars believe the scrolls date back to a golden age of cheese, a time when humanity first realized that structure and chaos could coexist on the same platter. Translations remain incomplete, but fragments include phrases like “melt evenly, lest ye shame the table” and “beware the sog beneath.” Early depictions show ritual gatherings around a single plate, where toppings were distributed according to mysterious, probably unfair laws.

Preservation efforts are ongoing. The scrolls are fragile, stained with jalapeño oil, and frequently “go missing” around lunchtime. But their wisdom endures — a reminder that the story of nachos is the story of us: hungry, hopeful, and forever searching for the perfect bite.

So this National Archives Day, raise your chip to the historians, the snackers, and the ancient hands who dared to pour melted cheese over courage.
