My take away is that while I can't eat this wrapper, any other wrappers that do not explicitly tell me not to eat them can and should be eaten.

    Yeah, pretty messed up that in 2023 we still don't even have edible wrappers.

    I remember when I was a kid back in the 80s, they had a brief show where kids could show off their inventions and this one girl came up with a type of edible tape you could use to do things like hold burritos together. I still think that's genius. Of course, it never became an actual product.

    As a gringo who can't get a burrito to stay shut, I'd buy that.

    I have no idea if they still do it, but a decade or so ago it was all over the internet that a Brazilian fast food company had started using edible wrappers and made a marketing stunt out of it. The chain was apparently "Bob's".

    Why would there be a warning unless people were eating them? Why would people eat them unless they were delicious? It's the forbidden fruit all over again.

    2023 Republicans: that wrapper can't tell me what to do.

    It possibly has more nutritional value than the burger it held, who knows

    Idiocracy in action.

  • Weren't people in 1980 still burning leaded gasoline, flicking lit cigarettes out of car windows, placing kids unprotected in the backs of station wagons, and serving Big Macs in foam containers?

    Even if there is a rash of pika in 2023, I'd say we're still far advanced
