America 8647: The Tee That Turns Every Day Into Taco Tuesday
Front and center, a color-popping taco rests beneath a star-spangled arch, book-ended by “86” and “47.” Food-service slang uses “86” to mean “gone in a flash,” while “47” recalls Route 47 in California—the taco-truck corridor where LA’s street-food boom caught fire in the late 1970s. Together they shout: good tacos never disappear, they just move faster than the crowd.

Ever since LeBron James turned #TacoTuesday into a viral chant and Taco Bell’s 2023 legal push freed the phrase for every taquería, the weekly ritual has exploded on TikTok and Insta, racking up billions of views and countless dinner plans. When Gregory’s Restaurant & Bar finally relinquished the last trademark claim in October 2023, headlines declared “Taco Tuesday belongs to everyone.”
The taco’s journey from early 20th-century miner lunches in Mexico to the migrant-run loncheras of 1960s Los Angeles mirrors America’s broader immigration story—a blend of resilience, creativity, and fight-for-your-spot grit. By the ’80s, Taco Tuesday discounts lured families into neighborhood cantinas; by 2020, the movement had become a platform for advocating fair permits for street vendors and celebrating Latinx heritage in classrooms and city halls.
Slip on the America 8647 tee and broadcast that every neighborhood deserves sizzling carnitas, crispy shells, and a seat at the communal table—no cease-and-desist letters required. Pair it with denim, joggers, or that salsa-stained apron; either way, you’re casting a vote for open kitchens, shared cultures, and endless Tuesday vibes. Grab yours now, post your #America8647 look, and invite friends to keep the tacos—and the dialogue—rolling all week long.
