Of course the burrito isn't a sandwich.
Panera of all companies should have known that..

Calling a burrito a sandwich is an insult to burritos! Burritos > Sandwiches! :)

we need a mathematical proof saying that a burrito != sandwich.

how about:
umm...shoot, ill just shoot stuff. :mp5:

What if its a regular burrito vs a Mudsandwich? Where do your loyalties lay now? Hmm?

I cannot abide by this decision!

oh god, yea, i work at a panera in CT, and it doesnt surprise me at all that corporate would try to pull some shit like this. you should hear the fountains of bullshit they spout about bread, and mother bread, their icon, its almost sacreligious.

Am I the bread or the meat?

So they are "Grossly irreverent toward what is or is held to be sacred", such as bread. Father Grain, Mother Wheat. Where would we be without them?

I wonder if the Judge pissed someone off to get handed that case?

It *could* be considered a sandwich in general terms. I mean, a wrap is a sandwich, so is a pita pocket... uh... kind of like a gross generalisation... you know, like all republicans are stupid Christians and all democrats are sexually-deviant liberals who want to have buttsex with your dog.

I love Panera!

Hah, I'm totally going to go to that Qdoba when it opens and get me a sandwich.

The Motherbread is calling, comrades! To arms! To arms! We shall bring the burrito back within our freshly baked and mildly overpriced grasp, and then we shall rebuild the entire, glorious Sandwich Empire.

burrito+...

...yeah, I'm tired.

:mp5:

of course a burrito isn't a sandwich. you can't feed someone a knuckle burrito...ooorr can you.....:confused:

If you're Mexican you can.

A sandwich requires two slabs of bread.

A burrito is wrapped in a tortilla.
A burrito is not a sandwich, any more than a taco is or an eggroll is.

This of course calls into question the wrap as sandwich....

Wraps do not have two slabs of bread, ergo wraps are not sammiches.

Correct. They are wraps. Which is why we call them wraps, and not sandwiches.

Yours in Solidarity, Comrade!

Not quite, an open faced sandwich has but one slab of bread, and is still considered a sandwich. Moreover, a peice of bread that has a clit cut in it and is then stuffed is still considered a sandwich, though there is but one piece of bread.

In conclusion, I really am thinking about this too goddamn much.

Yeah, Freudian psychology, I'm supposed to be writing an essay on the inherent flaws within it and blah, blah, blah, penis, blah . . .

The dictionary also includes "open sandwich" as a definition, and a burrito is just an open sandwich that has been closed, so nyeh!
Or at least it would be if burritoes involved bread or "the like", they do not, and so Panera fails again.

Some asshole tried to sell me a sandwich wrap the other day. I should have punched him.

It's like calling a perogy a sandwich...

Wow, that's right up there with:
Person 1: *Sneezes*
Person 2: Bless you.
Person 1: FUCK OFF!
In appropriate and rational responses.

I briefly thought of writing a falsely insulted reply but I don't have the energy and it would have been expected.

Therefore a Burrito could be considered a rolled sandwich. *nods*

I feel very strongly about this.

Now, apathy, that is an appropriate response to just about anything, from sneeze, sandwich, or (s)internet. Or even failed attempts at alliteration.

It's like calling a perogy a sandwich...

I thought it was spelled pierogie?

there is precedent for such rulings. for example, nix v. hedden, in which the supreme court declared that common usage beats scientific accuracy and thus tomatoes are vegetables.

Care to link me? I have the feeling that the case will be some amusing reading.

Ah. Thank you.

From the seed of legalism, sown so long ago, sprouts another twig of inanity.

Of course it's not a sandwich! It's wrapped in bred, not squeezed between two breads.

A burrito isn't a sandwich & neither is a wrap. Tastes better though. :p

Well, a burrito is definitely not a sandwich, because a sandwich is a flat square, whilst a BURRITO is a tube you huff kittens with *cough*uncyclopedia*cough* grasp with your hands, taking bites out of the burrito and savoring the flavor while pumping crap and gas outta your ass so hard it could kill Sarge!

That Grue over there in the corner who's about to eat you definitely wont like that.

I prefer my sandwiches to be a right angle triangle. *nods* I need to know all of the angles and magnitudes before I can even consider taking a bite.

I just ate a burrito, which is not a sandwich.
