A taco holder includes a rigid body and a pusher. The body is shaped like a truncated taco shell, including two sides and a bottom corresponding to those of the taco shell. An inside of the body cradles the taco in a lengthwise direction. The body sides include respective sliding slots penetrating the body and arranged in the lengthwise direction. The pusher is shaped like an angled cross-section of the body and contacts respective edges of the sides of the cradled taco. The pusher includes respective tabs extending through the sliding slots for securing the pusher to the inside of the body while allowing movement of the pusher and contacted taco along the inside of the body in the lengthwise direction. The pusher pushes the taco toward the truncated end in response to applied pressure to the tabs from outside the body in the lengthwise direction.

The subject of the invention is a picker for chocolate, which is an integral part of the chocolate packaging (11). It is meant preferably for chocolate bars (3), but can also be used for candies or cookies (13). The invention solves the problem of packaging design for chocolate, which includes one or more pickers which can be used to pick up an individual piece of chocolate (2), chocolate candy or cookie (13) without the chocolate itself coming into direct contact with the user's fingers (5). This allows for greater hygiene when eating chocolate bars (3), pieces of chocolate (2), candies or cookies (13). The picker can be made in various possible versions (1, 6, 7, 9, 16) or other related, and is intended for either multiple (1, 6, 7, 9) or single use (16). It can be integrated into the packaging (11), inserted into it or attached to it on an additional outer surface (19).

A holder for a food product is provided. The holder encloses a food product and includes plungers to move the food product as well as securely store the food product within the holder.

One or more logos may be included on the holder for advertising or informational purposes.

A taco holder is configured to hold a taco upright and parallel to a support surface during filling or consumption. The taco holder comprises a tapered frusto-conical body defining an interior, with a larger open top end and a smaller closed bottom end featuring a planar bottom wall for stability. The holder includes a pair of diametrically-opposed trapezoidal cut-outs with horizontal edges for supporting a taco. The structure is divided into side wall first portions adjacent to the cut-outs and side wall second portions located below them. The holder's geometry allows for nesting multiple units, enabling space-saving storage. Constructed from materials suitable for single or repeated use, the taco holder provides a convenient, hands-free solution for filling tacos while capturing dropped fillings and maintaining cleanliness.
