St. Louis Sports Venues Challenged By Spelling of “Nachos”

A little investigative journalism here, folks – so we advise you buckle up and enjoy the ride. Things are about the get serious around this neck of the woods.

On Sunday, we stumbled upon a traditional tailgating effort in downtown St. Louis.  Tent, BBQ pit, long lines of overweight Americans and relatively attractive females working the cash register.  Standard setup.  At this particular pit stop, we became overly amused with the spelling of “Nacho’s” on the concession stand price sign.

Nacho’s….with a possessive apostrophe.  Interesting, to say the least.

But, we knew there was something more.  Somewhere.  Our subconscious rolodex of countless stadium/fan pictures over the years told us so.

The image wavered through our memory for the entirety of the Rams lost their 19th game in their last 20 tries.  Finally, we remembered.  We found a match.  We’ve seen this snafu before – here, in our backyard yet again.

Average Joe tailgate, misspelling “nachos”?  No big deal.  Busch Stadium misspelling “nachos” on permanent, stadium concession signage?  A *slightly* bigger deal.

The possessive “nacho’s” becomes even more confusing when paired with “supreme”.  Maybe Nacho owns the supreme.  Or perhaps, it’s a conjunction for “Nacho is Supreme.”

One thing is for sure, white people love pointing out grammar/spelling mistakes.

Guilty.
