The main problem with burritos is that they're impossible to eat. This is mostly a result of their ginormousness. No human mouth is large enough to take a bite that encompasses all of the ingredients at once, so you have to eat each ingredient separately, which inevitably leads to at least one bite that's all sour cream. Some try to solve the problem by opening one end of the burrito and eating the insides with a fork, but this method is unwieldy and leaves you, at the end, with a soppy, useless tortilla.
You'd think that a complete lack of eatability would be considered a drawback in a foodstuff, yet to my bafflement burritos somehow remain highly popular. I do not get it.
