What to put on the sign

β€œI'd walk a mile for you, but I'd rather drive-thru. Taco 'bout hoco?”

One line, big letters. If it needs a second read, cut it down.

The plan

Go through the drive-thru together after you have called ahead or slipped the worker a sign to tape to the bag. They reach out the window for the food and the bag has the pun on it, handed over by a stranger they will never see again. The whole trick is the third-party handoff. Nobody expects the drive-thru worker to be in on it.
