Beware of the "1/2 pound burrito"

So let me start by saying the only 1/2 pounder I have had thus far is the nacho crunch burrito, and it is delicious. It is the closest thing to the GSB with chips in it I have found. It could definitely use more crunch but it is still a great contrast. With that being said, I would just like to warn you all to not get your hopes up by the name "1/2 pounder." The description of the burrito is perhaps the most misleading thing of them all
A warm flour tortilla loaded with a double portion** of seasoned ground beef and filled with warm nacho cheese sauce, juicy tomatoes, reduced fat sour cream and crunchy red strips.

* Based on average weight.
Individual product weights necessarily vary.

**Double Beef compared to Burrito Supreme
First of all, the fact it says based on average weight tells me that they probably made 100 12lb burritos to start, gave them to their CEOs and now sell bite size version because it is all based off of an average.

Secondly, the ** is a bunch of bullshit, I've seen/eaten/experienced a burrito supreme and they are way bigger than these 1/2 pounders.

And lastly, look at this picture.

This is a supposed 1/2 pound burrito next to a GSB. Now, I did not weigh the burrito but there is no way that little thing is 1/2 a pound (that's what she said...thank you Michael Scott.)

So I do not want to discourage you from buying one of these tasty treats but I just want you to beware that when you order a 1/2 pounder, its best to divide by 2 because that is more realistic of what you are getting. Just like Ryan's stories, no matter what he says, divide by 2 and that is how much of the story is probably true...ooo burnesville...population RYAN!!!
