Quantum taco
From A KoL Wiki
This taco's quantum nature prevents you from simultaneously knowing where it is, and what it's filled with. Since you know where it is (in your hands), the filling is therefore in an indeterminate state. Perhaps by eating it, and thereby shifting the indeterminacy to the taco's location*, you'll be able to find out what's in there.
*Though you might claim that the taco's location would be your stomach, this would not be the case unless you somehow manage to swallow it whole. To illustrate this, consider the problem of where your fist goes when you open your hand.

Notes
- Functions as a random food when eaten. This follows all normal effects of the consumption, including adding the food to your consumption history.
- You must have 2 fullness left to eat the taco, but your stomach is filled by the amount of the randomly-chosen food, even if this would cause you to overeat.
References
- The premise of this item refers to the Uncertainty principle, a quantum mechanics concept that states that certain paired quantities cannot be simultaneously known to a certain precision. For example, it is impossible to measure both the momentum and the position of a particle – the more accurately the position is known, the less certain the momentum is known, and vice versa. In the case of the quantum taco, the more accurately you know the position, the less you know about the filling.
