Yeah, this whole list is kind of nuts. Burritos already get mass produced in factories. Those prepackaged ones at the grocery store? Some brands have people hand making them but quite a few are machine made and rolled.

Rewatched the divergent series recently, in the last movie there’s an exchange between two characters that goes roughly like this:

“I wouldn’t choose”
“Oh good, now they’re both dead.”
