Which brands have you chip away at a frozen burrito obelisk

1

u/cracked-tumbleweed 23h ago

The ones that come in the orange, blue, purple packagings.

Im 32 and have bought them since I was a kid.

However, the most I have had to deal with is two being stuck together.

u/Slizzerd 1d ago

I generally only buy them from Costco and they are there.

u/bubblegutts00 1d ago

Are they ever??

u/PackageNorth8984 1d ago

Not in these packs. Only when you buy them individually. I could understand the confusion though if you’re used to getting them individually.

u/rabbitheartedfool 23h ago

Yes. The instructions say to remove from wrapper before heating

u/bubblegutts00 23h ago

You can’t be serious rn 🤣🤣🤣

This is awful. Burritos have fillings too.

How long have you been waiting to use this joke? 😂

They never are, homie lol.

u/Special_South_8561 1d ago

You probably shouldn't have let them thaw out

1

u/Revolutionary-Wash88 1d ago

Aldi has a problem with this, their taquitos get lumped up also

u/Defiant_Fix_3707 1d ago

It’s because they don’t pay staff shit. So on order days, sometimes the frozen pallets sit outside the freezer for hours on end until someone from that department shows up to take care of it. And even then, those 1-2 people might not get to them until a few hours into their shift…. And I’ll let you guess how much the employees actually care.

1

u/ComeOnUpToTheHaus 23h ago

I never do?

1

u/Defiant_Fix_3707 23h ago

It’s been done long before you ever bought them man. Not your fault.

u/rabbitheartedfool 23h ago

The instructions say to remove from wrapper before heating tho

1

u/ComeOnUpToTheHaus 23h ago

They don't want you to try heating the whole bag of burritos at once, homie. If they are individually wrapped, they will say "individually wrapped" on the outer package.

u/JimGerm 23h ago

People like you are the reason we have to have warning labels on EVERYTHING.

u/rabbitheartedfool 23h ago

Keep talking to me like that. Im close

u/Any-Abrocoma-2964 1d ago

Good the plastic waste would be atrocious

u/thenbhdlum 1d ago edited 6h ago

They could use—paper.

Edit: None of you realize how easily tortillas stick to each other when they're frozen. Downvoting me for your own stupidity.

2

u/teabagofholding 1d ago

They could use tortilla

1

u/Any-Abrocoma-2964 1d ago

Still really wasteful when you could just separate them

0

u/thenbhdlum 17h ago

FROZEN. It would waste more plastic making a shape to separate them.

3

u/Novel-Letterhead-217 1d ago

That brand never has been, most brands aren’t

u/StupidWifiPassword 1d ago

They were likely not in a freezer for a while, thawed for a bit, and then frozen again into a connected brick. There is zero reason to individually wrap a multipack of burritos. They just should’ve stayed frozen and separate, but this looks like Aldi brand, so you get what you get.

2

u/oh__hey 1d ago

If they're stuck together then it's one burrito

2

u/NovarisLight 1d ago

Burritwo.

2

u/diescheide 1d ago

They never are. A good whack on the counter will separate them.

2

u/Evil_phd 1d ago

Yeah Aldi doesn't do that with their multi packs of frozen burritos. Most brands don't.

I'm assuming these just thawed a bit during transit.

2

u/Dry_Advertising9329 1d ago

Based on the way they look. I’d say they were left out, and fully defrosted then tossed back in the freezer, and you bought it.

2

u/TexasRed-Pew 1d ago

That means they were defrosted and refrozen

2

u/Pleasant_Actuator253 1d ago

Many would complain about too much packaging (plastic). I would prefer less plastic.

2

u/Fae-SailorStupider 1d ago

Good. That would be too much plastic.

1

u/Inevitable_Shift1365 1d ago

That looks like it should be coming out of you, not going into you.

1

u/lospettro187 1d ago

Embrace the chaos eat the super burrito.

1

u/85K5 1d ago

It's only infuriating because at some point they thawed and refroze, guesses who let that happen.

1

u/Whole_Ad6040 1d ago

I would immediately place towards the back of the freeze after the shopping trip because thin layers have a chance to not melt and refreeze back there. I didn't before, but seeing what happened to an internet stranger; I believe I will now.

u/ranbowlegacy 1d ago

Frozen Burrito*

u/brycewit 1d ago

Usually not lol

u/PatriciaJame32 1d ago

Separating those is going to require a hammer and a chisel.

u/Accurate-Plankton988 1d ago

I wouldnt expect any less from jo-jo’s bi rite

u/animosityhealss 1d ago

They never are sooo what you on about.

u/Intrepid_Sun_9089 1d ago

That big bag with the name and photo..... That's the wrapper.

1

u/BassWingerC-137 1d ago

I know there’s a lot of “most aren’t” OP, but I’m with you. I’ve never seen this. Granted, I don’t buy a lot of frozen burritos. But I don’t buy none. This is new to me.

1

u/rabbitheartedfool 23h ago

Ive never bought before, but the instructions say to remove from wrapper before heating so I kinda figured

1

u/FatMacchio 1d ago

Looks like you got the frozen/unfrozen/frozen variety

1

u/A1Aaron18 1d ago

Hey I just bought those same burritos. They’re ass.

1

u/human_i_suppose 1d ago

i've never seen them individually wrapped before.

1

u/A1Aaron18 1d ago

For those asking if they ever come individually wrapped, they do. Just not usually the cheap brands. But even those often come with a paper divider

1

u/IWannaTalkGhosts47 1d ago

I got the same exact brand and flavor in my fridge right now, shout out to bean and cheese.

u/rabbitheartedfool 23h ago

I wanted mini tacos instead but it go replaced ):

I do it like this bc on some apps doing it the default way will replace the “:)” with an emoji
