8,000-Foot Burrito Claims Record

POSTED: 8:32 am EDT August 31, 2004
UPDATED: 8:45 am EDT August 31, 2004
RENO, Nev. -- It's a brute of a burrito. Take more than 8,200 flour tortillas, ladle on a ton of refried beans, then add truckloads of sour cream, cheese and salsa -- and you've got the world's biggest burrito.

Officials of the Nevada State Fair are claiming a new Guinness burrito record. The burrito was more than 8,000 feet long.

If recognized, the Reno burrito will surpass the current record of 7,700-plus feet, set in Mexico in 2001.

But the Nevada burrito was just for looking, not munching. It took more than two hours to make and organizers feared the sour cream might have gone bad.

It makes me sad to think that is all that Reno has going for it.

Should have used the same dairy that McDonalds uses in their milkshakes for the sour cream... that stuff doesn't even melt... let alone go bad.

Just imagine if the burrito would have been eaten. It be like Blazing Saddles.

I agree totally, if someone can spare that much food for a record book and not to feed hungry people, then their priorities are really screwed up.
