Sesame Street - Tortilla contest

[ShadesBelow03]

Love the "Bo-ree-tos!!!" at the end. Always wondered if the lady at the 0:42 mark was hyped on caffeine, or just mic-shy.

[shrill99]

I also remember this....Gotta love stock 1970's SS footage...Ahh,the good ol' damn days!!!!!!

And next week, they're having a tennis tournament in a Mexican bakery.

That is not a taco, its a burrito. Great Video :) I remember this one from the 1970's

[quirpco]

Tacos & burritos are great, but I love just a plain tortilla nice & hot with butter!

[amybeth68]

I remember as a little kid thinking these looked so delicious & asking my parents if we could get some tacos..but these were not widely available 35+ years ago...but my dad did go to some take-out place & came back with these crunchy shells filled with a lot of lettuce..& as a kid I  was thinking this is SO not what they were eating on Sesame Street...lol!..but I couldn't articulate that..I think it was more of a burrito they had....the soft tortilla & soft filling...great memories , though!

This video always made me hungry, & it still does! Hmmm.... I wonder if Taco Bell is still open....

[lcirej71]

Tacos? At the end a girl say "burrito!"

[briansky10]

Mmmm this film makes me hungry!!!

[See918]

"Get over Here." at :47

[See918]

Actually I'm wrong, I do hear some English.

[See918]

It amazes me how nobody in this video is speaking English except the girl telling what is going on but the sign at the beginning is all in English.

[Smartboy8877]

@See918

I did not think of that, but now that you mention it, it does seem quite illogical. Good thinking my friend!

[ladySEGOVIA]

Man! I haven't seen this one in ages! Come to think of it, I haven't made homeade tortillas in ages either. Good times! haha

[deyoungparker]

It's funny, I love the aesthetic of these old short films from the 70's, EXCEPT the ones about food. Even back in the 70's, the washed out colors made the food look gray and disgusting. When I was a kid I wanted to barf every time this aired and they cut to that little girl macking the burrito at the end.

[444kingtuts]

Here is an old one about a tortilla contest probably filmed in Mexico around 1970

[ladySEGOVIA]

444, not likely filmed in Mexico, because the sign at the beginning is in Engish, and the kids in the video are speaking English quite well. :)

[pokinsmot]

i thought i had seen every Sesame Street segment, but ive never seen this one... neat

[regency98us]

I can remember this one too, its been so many years. I think times were much better in 1970.

[ISNorden]

Whoah, I can't believe I missed this one on YouTube--thanks for posting a clip I haven't seen in more than 30 years.

[LorenBattleTV]

Sharp cheddar cheese. If you taste it I think it would be like lemon sour.

[MIKECNW]

I wonder what that lady said that made her start laughing?

Must of addicdently said something funny.

[MIKECNW]

Also it looks like this might of been filmed in the US because the sign is in english.

[mistersantosnyc]

She was tripping over her words.

She literally said "They have to be 6" of large, of big... some are large..." then she laughed and said "OF ROUND!" because she had been trying to say that the tacos should be 6" round.

[CGAWLEY]

@mistersantosnyc I always wanted to know what that woman was saying & why it was so funny to her! Thanks for finally letting me in on the joke! ;)

[lfrage]

I remember this, too! Just keep posting!!!

[wattamack4]

I like to have Tortilla with meat and cheese in it.

[bluquail]

Boy, that sure made my mouth water, even though I like to eat them plain.

[Flower76]

Oh wow...talk about another flashback! This is where I discovered my love of making tortillas.

[raposofan]

Wow, I remember this. This is like an average day in New Mexico, though! This happens every day here!

[lizzykat2]

Tortilla I love Tortilla

[grecomic]

This takes me back to a time when mexican food was really exotic. There was no Taco Bell in my town and I don't think there was Old El Paso in the grocery stores either !

[love2register]

lol exactly, the only thing I'd ever had in my life at that point was a taco. I thought the tortillas looked delicious though.
