Stop Cutting Burritos In Half

This might be an unpopular opinion but I hate it when burritos are cut in half. If this is not as unpopular an opinion as I thought, then for everyone's sake stop doing this. Annoying food influencers on TikTok and Instagram do this in their food review videos. I've seen restaurants do this in their commercials and ads. Just this past weekend while on vacation I got a breakfast burrito to-go from my hotel restaurant and it came cut in half in a to-go container. It was a stupid mess trying to eat it with a plastic fork in my hotel room. Side rant: if you list pico de gallo in the ingredients next to eggs, potato and choice of meat, I'm expecting the burrito to have pico de gallo INSIDE of it. Not in a stupid sauce cup that I now have to awkwardly apply. You ever try to carefully pour pico de gallo on the end of your open face burrito? Fuck you.

stop it. I hate you.
The whole point of a burrito is having this carefully packed pocket of food that you can eat with your hands. And most places even wrap them in aluminum foil to keep the hot juicy meaty beany goodness inside. They take all that effort to keep everything all packed up and warm so the first thing these assholes on the internet think to do is cut it in half. Side rant: I'll include things like dumplings and empanadas and other filled dough foods here. Why would you cut it in half? "excuse me, waiter, I would like the raviolis but can you cut them all in half, I'm making a video"

Don't get me started on places that don't know how to even properly wrap a burrito.   I'm looking at you, Ramones Cafe in Eureka. 

When you cut it in half it ruins the whole thing. Now all the filling is dumping out and spilling all over the place forcing you to eat it with a fork like a dumb ass. It's getting cold now. If you're not using a fork you're starting in the middle which makes you end up with two of the worst parts of eating a burrito, the butt. You get down to the end of a tightly wrapped burrito and it's this soggy mass of tortilla and filling that has now lost it's structural integrity. If you started at one end you only experience this once. But I digress—It doesn't even matter because most of these clout horny influencers are never eating the whole thing. They buy it, cut it in half, take 3 bites for "the gram" and probably throw it away. Side rant: I think I just hate that this is what the internet is now.

Or just don't.  You're finished.  Just pick it up and eat it. You don't need to fucking cut it. Why is there an instructional video?  Should be called "How to fuck up a burrito"  I hate that I gave this dude a view trying to get this screenshot. 

Now, as with most things I know I can just not watch these videos or not eat at places that do this but the mere fact that I know it exists makes me hate the world.

Fuck Trump.
