Because it&#8217;s a wearable nacho hat, that&#8217;s why!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">There were times in human history when food was hard to come by.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">Now, we&#8217;re wearing it on our heads just because we can, and it&#8217;s kind of funny.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">What a time to be alive.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">I like the engineering behind this. When I first heard about it, I was like, &#8220;Wouldn&#8217;t that leave you with a greasy, crumby scalp? And who wants to eat your hair nachos?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">Well, clearly, the fellas in the lab worked this out, and it looks like you actually wear a paper hat, upon which the nacho hat is placed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">That keeps things nice and sanitary, which is always good to be shooting for when you start eating food that you&#8217;re also wearing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">I do see this turning into a huge mess for people. I mean, trying to get a good scoop of guac from your hat brim seems like a good way to get sloppy food on your pants or shirt.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">However, I think there&#8217;s a bigger problem: we will see quite a few of these dumped all over the concourse or in the seats because someone bent down to tie their shoe and totally forgot that they were wearing a nacho sombrero.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">This concept sounded immediately familiar to me, and I knew why. It was because this \u2014 like so many things before it \u2014 had been done by &#8220;The Simpsons&#8221; thirty years ago.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">In the season 5 episode &#8220;Homer Loves Flanders,&#8221; we get what wearable food historians believe to be the debut of the idea that is the nacho hat:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">So, if you&#8217;re at a Rangers game, go crazy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">Just be careful not to tilt your head down while checking your phone. Otherwise, you might spill hot chili on your crotch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"&#8220;Anyone want a bit of my head nachos?&#8221; PublishedApril 2, 2026 7:40 PM EDT\u2022UpdatedApril 2, 2026 7:40 PM&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":659998,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[2393],"tags":[5,4,149,1567,69,3240],"class_list":{"0":"post-659997","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-texas-rangers","8":"tag-baseball","9":"tag-mlb","10":"tag-rangers","11":"tag-texas","12":"tag-texas-rangers","13":"tag-texasrangers"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/116338317260115961","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/659997","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=659997"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/659997\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/659998"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=659997"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=659997"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=659997"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
