"This combination seems to be an inevitability, sort of like chocolate and peanut butter running into each other on that Reese's commercial," he said. "The amazement should be only that it took 'iCarly' to bring it into our melting pot of a culture.

"Spaghetti tacos has made it possible to eat spaghetti in your car," he said. "It's a very important technological development."

So fuck you, lasers.
