ABSTRACT:
A structural support for a taco, for protecting the taco when packaged in an overwrap, and also serving as a taco stand to maintain an unwrapped taco in an upright position. The support is constructed from an elongated paperboard blank formed into an interlocked structural support with a flat base member and a forwardly projecting front. The front projects forwardly in a substantially semicircular shape such that a taco can be laid on its side on top of the flat base member and within the semicircular front, and the thusly protected taco can then be packaged with an overwrap for sale by a fast food restaurant. The taco support also has a pair of opposed, upwardly facing cutouts therein symmetrically positioned on opposite sides of the projecting front. Each cutout has a cross section substantially in the shape of a taco base, and an unwrapped taco can be placed in and supported upright across the opposed cutouts, or a partially eaten taco can be supported upright by only a single cutout, with the taco being supported in many possible positions, such that the structural support also serves as a taco stand for either a whole or partially eaten taco.
