This thing ruined my life
I want to talk about 3 things that ultimately happened because of this blanket.
1. I believe it was ultimately the downfall of my relationship. After months of meat and tortilla related puns, referring to myself as a Roburrito anytime I was wrapped up, and the general frustration that comes with a blanket shaped like a circle... My girlfriend of 6 weeks left me. Now this blanket may have just brought the negative qualities about her personality to light, because let's be honest I don't think any of that is unreasonable. However needless to say the chain of events went girlfriend > got tortilla blanket > single. So if I had to point a finger, tortilla blanket gets it.
2. Due to the fact that I was now single again, hanging with friends, and drinking again... Cinco de Mayo got out of hand this year. After we at all consumed are bodyweight in Corona Light... we decided to fill this blanket tortilla with copious amounts of onions and peppers and chicken and cheese to post a funny video on YouTube. This decision almost cost me my house. I'm not sure if the video is still posted or not but if you search, "Giant Burrito Accident" on YouTube, you will observe me and my friends chanting, "Welcome to Moe's" in my driveway as our local Fire Department arrives to my house because of smoke filing my backyard from my open kitchen window.
To recap thus far, Blanket = broken up with and thousands of dollars in fire damage.
3. Last but certainly not least, the lasting affects over 2 months later. My kitchen is still a disaster because I do not have the $9,000 to pay for damages that occurred while trying to make a giant "Joey Bag of Donuts" from Moe's. I was fined by the local fire department for that, and have had to basically prove myself as a responsible functional adult to my homeowner's association in a series of weekly meetings (they don't know about the YouTube video still). I don't know people, I just don't feel like the price plus shipping who's worth the grief this thing has caused me. I'm not trying to take away from the quality of the item because it is definitely very soft and definitely does look like a giant tortilla, but I suggest maybe making a pros and cons chart before making this kind of purchase.
