I would have provided a link if I knew how. So for those of you who have not heard of the Whopperito that BK is rolling out on the 15th you’ll need to google it.
I don’t eat a lot of fast food these days, but the Whopper Jr was always a favorite of mine. I plan on giving it a try. Anyone else?

Have you ever had a Spam burrito? They can be heavenly. Of course, eating one moves you a few steps closer to heaven. Or hell, as the case may be.
I heard about the Whopperito on the drive to work today, the host described it as an abomination.

In college I once took an ethics class (obviously it did not take…). Of course abortion was discussed at some point. One young lady went on about fetuses (sp?).
But the way she pronounced it was WAY off.
Taco Bell has never been the same since.
Ever since then I avoid any Taco Bells suspiciously close to abortion clinics. Sounds like I might need to ad Burger King to that list as well.
PS.
She also did interesting things with hyperbole.

For what reason?
McDonalds serves the Suz Mac, Burger King is the Whopperito

I saw that on the news yesterday. Inevitably stoners have taken over the fast food industry. First, Doritos as a shell for crunchy tacos, now all of the Whopper ingredients rolled up in a tortilla. Can’t wait to see what else is in the works.

And I’ll try one, even if it is only vaguely food.

“Fetuses” pronounced uncomfortably close to “fajitas”, I presume.

Hm, I had assumed “burrito”.

I’ll try one. Basically it’s a standard beef burrito?

I’m guessing she was super drunk and slurred out “feces”.

Which doesn’t have anything to do with Taco Bell.
AS for the Whopperito, it sounds like an unseasoned beef burrito with pickles.

Of course, in Spanish the name would be an oxymoron: the “little whopper.”

Unless you take whopper in the “lying” sense rather than the “really big” sense. 🙂

Do you normally put pickles on a burrito?

Like ‘jumbo shrimp’ or ‘military intelligence’.
