It seems wrong that Fruit by the Foot is only sold by weight or by number of rolls.

Before you ask, it's 51 layers.

Logically, we now have to add the Wikipedia Omniroll to the list, which will make preparing one very complicated.

The world ended in 2025 when the recursive Wikipedia Omniroll consumed all available matter

Oh, so that's how you make the infinite fractal omniroll. You just need infinite materials, infinite space and infinite time. Shouldn't be a problem, right?

Thank you for this. I'm Californian born and raised, but this introduced me to the apparently prodigious Irish cultural touchstone that is the Jumbo Breakfast Roll.

Two eggs, two sausage, two rashers, two bacon, two pudding, one black, one white. All stacked like a tower on top of each other and rolled up good and tight. If you're having some tea, the milk's over there, you'll find sugar in the bowl. Said she do you want some sauce on that, says aye I do in my roll.

Welp, I'm hungry now.

That thing is going to weigh as much as a cadaver

Interesting you should mention that... Mummy jerky

The list is missing uramaki, which is clearly distinct from maki, so the list is incomplete. Although, it does include "Seattle Roll" which, if it's supposed to represent uramaki, is an odd choice given that it's just one kind of uramaki.
