McDonald's Burritos
McDonald's has recently started selling some of their burgers in the form of tortilla-wrapped burritos. This seems like an odd concept from the start, as a burger doesn't fit properly into the common mold of a burrito structure. I was hesitant.
However, a realization came to me the other day while standing before McDonald's glowing menu screen. These burritos, silly as they are, may solve a long-standing issue I have with fast-food burgers: mess. I have nothing but scorn for the grease and splooge that besmirches my fingers during mealtime. The burritos, being completely wrapped by a tortilla anti-mess shield, should be capable of containing the mess within and keeping my hands unsullied.
Unfortunately, I was wrong. Far removed from the menu photo, the burrito shell was irreparably torn, allowing the innards to dribble out with each bite. It was also far too loosely wrapped, with it unfolding nearly as quickly as the foil wrap. The outside of the burrito itself felt like it was dipped in grease before being passed on. Look, I can understand a burger not looking like the menu picture, but how can you screw up a burrito? All you need to do is wrap it properly and it doesn't matter how the innards are scrambled.
I suppose I could just stop eating at McDonald's, but that would silly. How else would I get my daily recommended allowance of salt?

Ah, McDonald's. I haven't had any of that in years, and I don't see me going back in the foreseeable future. On ocassion I might go to Wendy's, but even that's rare.
But, yeah, screwing up a burtito is beyond stupid.
May I recommend salt water? Take a glass of tasty water, poor in your daily recommended salt, then chug. Then you get your daily recommend salt without ever having to step foot in a McDs.
why don't you just go to Chipotle
I heard it was owned by MC DONALD'S
....though, I'm not sure how true that is.
@Argenis_sama - It used to be owned by McDonald's, but that was a while ago. Oh, and I love Chipotle.
