Whoever came up with the idea of putting a tortilla around some meat or some cheese or whatever was a genius. You don't get the meat or cheese or sauce on your hands and you can eat the thing while you walk without looking like a lunatic, it's fucking great! Only problem is, what do you call the tortilla-wrapped thing? Most people would call it a burrito, but if you put roast beef or tuna in it or eat it cold after Yoga class all of a sudden it's a "wrap." BULLSHIT. To challenge this fucked-up paradigm, we asked people what the difference between a wrap and a burrito in hopes that they would realize that THERE ISN'T ONE, YOU DUMMIES!Mary, student: A burrito is Mexican and a wrap is for health nuts. I don’t think a burrito would have lunchmeat in it and a wrap usually has lunchmeat.But what is the wrap covering itself made of?
Probably the same thing as a burrito.John, salesman: A burrito is Mexican, and a wrap is all-American.What’s the difference between the ingredients inside?
Wraps have turkey, ham, and cheese. A burrito has melted cheese.Rachelle, runs farm: A burrito has culture. A wrap is a random hot pocket of ingredients put together. But a burrito is, I don’t know, more of an effort.But doesn’t the same thing hold a burrito and a wrap together?
Not necessarily. The best burritos, in my opinion, are made of corn. Wraps are made of flour and some other fake processed shit. Burritos are way better.Midas, juggler: A burrito is Mexican. I’m racist, I’m sorry. A wrap is healthy because people like to use words to make them feel better about things.What makes a wrap healthier than a burrito?
It’s not. It’s just people using words.Kirsten, filmmaker (left): When I hear wrap I think healthy. When I hear burrito, I think Mexican food.Pamela, student: A burrito, in my definition, is rice, beans, lettuce, tomatoes, salsa, corn, and all of these different things. A wrap is more simplistic. Burritos are bigger and thicker. Wraps are more petite.Damien, butcher(left): Burritos have standard ingredients. Wraps are generally more vegetable oriented. A burrito is generally looked at as a standard Mexican staple.Aren’t they both wrapped in tortillas?
But you don’t generally get a burrito with different flavored tortillas. You get a wrap you can get spinach, sundried tomato, wheat, etc.Sara musician (left): How you feel at the end.How so?
A burrito, you feel too full and sleepy. After a wrap, you want to hang out.Previously:Could a Talking Dog Be President?Do Dogs and Cats Understand Us?Would You Stay with Your Partner if They Couldn't Have Sex Again?
