Garlic-Flavored Tacos (FILE-16) - Haltmann's Archives

"Garlic-Flavored Tacos [FILE-16] - Haltmann's Archives" is a high quality lore video and the sixteenth "file" in Haltmann's Archives.
==Summary==
The video is formatted like all Haltmann's Archives videos starting with "[[Termination (FILE-02) - Haltmann's Archives|Termination [FILE-02]]]".
The file focuses on the garlic tacos that appear in "Opening Scene - Waluigi's Tacostand" and "The Life and Times of Wade L.D. - A SiIvaGunner Christmas Comeback Crisis Side Story". It first describes the recipe used to make the taco, followed by a summary of events explaining its observed properties, tests performed, and whereabouts. Specifically, the file notes the taco's interdimensional capabilities, how the researchers were mostly unsuccessful in recreating it until they added small bits of the original taco, and how one of their test subjects The Joke-Explainer™ 7000 ended up in a different universe as a result of eating the recreated taco. The file also notes The Joke-Explainer™ 7000's experience in the new world, where both Humans and (what the file presumes to be) Figments coexisted, including ones that the SiIva A.I. had previously taken the form of, who acted as if they had taken over the channel. At the end, the file notes that the researchers have tasked the Joke-Explainer™ 7000 with transmitting as much about the new world as she could, as well as noting that Waluigi may have insight on the taco. However, the researchers are not allowed to directly research the taco under direct order of President Haltmann, who mandates that alternate universes must not be used when resurrecting his daughter.
===Context===
This video serves to establish a more significant relationship between the two universes seen in the SiIvaGunner canon (which previously only had a minor non-ambiguous connection in that Wood Man traveled between both), using the portal-spawning tacos seen previously in the main Christmas Comeback Crisis universe to connect the two. It confirms a long-standing implication that the secondary universe does not have an equivalent Figment-populated "digital realm" as described of the main universe in "Old Times", explaining why Humans and Figments coexist in the universe, although the file hints that the "Figments" of the second universe may not actually be the same type of entity that was described in "Old Times".
The video refers to the second universe as being "seemingly parallel to" the Christmas Comeback Crisis universe. This connects back to the concept of parallel universes, which were mentioned a handful of times in early SiIvaGunner lore. This is the first instance of a reference to parallel universes without any apparent connection to SilvaGunner: Rebooted, though not the first instance of parallel universes being linked to the portals made by garlic-flavored tacos.
The video then re-assesses the explanation of the SiIva A.I.'s takeovers from "Channel Hosts and Takeovers [FILE-15] - Haltmann's Archives" which appeared to disregard past channel events; the video seems to indicate that these events took place in the second universe, thus reworking them back into canon without having them be part of the Christmas Comeback Crisis directly.
This video also establishes how The Joke-Explainer™ 7000 went from the CCC to the AI Universe. This newly introduced incident was elaborated on in The Susie ARG.

== Trivia ==
*This video was originally not included in the playlist. It was added on January 12, 2024.
*This was the last video uploaded on the SiIvaGunner channel in 2023.
*This file reveals that the Joke-Explainer™ 7000 can eat.
*Despite being labeled the sixteenth file, this video was chronologically released after "The SiIva AI [FILE-17] - Haltmann's Archives". The sixteenth file and its topic had already been revealed by "Retrospective [FILE-14]", explaining why it was skipped over.
*In the Susie ARG, it's revealed that the Joke-Explainer who went to the AI Universe was a separate version built by Dr. Andonuts, while the original built by Chad Warden remained in the CCC, explaining the inconsistency of her appearing in both universes.
