No, thanks. It’ll give me gas.

This past Sunday, volunteers at the Nevada state fair in Reno laid down tortillas and heaped on refried beans, sour cream and salsa to create the world’s largest burrito.

I’ve always wondered what happens to the food created in these stunts. Who gets to eat them? Apparently no one in this case. Organizers feared bacteria growing in the sour cream after sitting in the sun for the two hours it took to create the super burrito.

One volunteer said, “Sour cream and sunshine don’t mix.”

    Aw, now, Jase, it just ended up exactly where millions of normal sized burritos made of the same materials would have ended up. 😉 But for those who grew up with Mom talking about "starving children in Africa" this seems a bit, um, wasteful (or waistful). The whole state fair has been sent to their rooms without dessert and will have to eat burrito for breakfast!
