Post by: Andrew on June 20, 2013, 10:54:53 AM
That's a really big burrito:

I am guessing that a four pound burrito usually is shared between two or three people.

I used to go to a resteraunt that served one pound hamburgers.  Even that was incredibly excessive.  I don't even know why anyone would want a four pound burrito. 

Wouldn't ordering a bunch of smaller burritos be easier and less messier anyway?

When I was pregnant I craved bean burritos but I don't think I was ever that hungry. :teddyr:

Does it have as many calories as an actual baby?

Those things are always 2/3 rice... The burrito, not the baby.

This place is only about a 3.5 hour drive away from me.  Their menu looks good, and this massive burrito is only $9.  I think I need to talk my wife into seeing the Space Needle again.

This reminds me of something I heard. I was standing in line at the concession stand at the cinema, when the person  ahead of me asked for a large tub of popcorn, the largest they had, and then asked for extra salt and butter flavoring to be put on the popcorn. And then asked for the largest soda there was, a diet soda, because they were on a diet. And all this was just for that one person. Some people . . . ? LOL!

LOL!  I drink diet soda not because I'm on a diet, but because I really don't like regular soda.  It tastes too sweet.

This is mocked a lot, but if you look at the calories involved it makes sense.

20 ounces of sugared Coca-Cola has 227 calories in it. Let's say a large soda has 52 ounces, that's 590 calories. If you switch that out to diet soda, you have reduced nearly 600 calories in your diet. That's a lot. Your average person ingests 2500 to 3000 calories a day. They don't usually burn that much, but by making one step from regular soda to diet soda, they ingest almost a quarter less than the caloric intake they would have had.

That's quite a lot. It's fun to make fun of fat people picking diet soda over regular soda, but in reality it is a huge diffrence.

We'll just have to wait for The Walking Dead cookbook to come out and then we'll find out.

That's like the guy who had his pizza cut into four slices, because he couldn't eat eight....
