All Hail the Free Burrito

To celebrate Chipotle's "Summer Soul-stice" burrito giveaway, I thought i'd indulge my brother and reflect on the scourge known as P.F.F.S. (post fast food syndrome). We've all felt a little sluggish after a late lunch... perhaps even a little irritable. These are only warning signs of P.F.F.S, which closely mirrors Chinese Food Syndrome (symptoms include: discomfort, sweating, dizziness, and heart palpitations).

Upon further reflection, the P.F.F.S phenomenon does not come as a surprise, considering the food options and portions that are available for us young and poor slobs. Prime examples include any of the fast food venues in the Greyhound Bus Stations; any restaurants with the name "White Castle," "Checkers," or "Big Boy;"...and let's be honest, any restaurant in the Columbus, Ohio area.

When a Pennsylvania eatery introduced the 15 lb. burger...who do you think tried to tackle it? That's right- two competitive eaters from Ohio. If you're from Columbus, you may begin to snicker at this. Don't deny it- i've been to your town, and I too have tackled the "sack of ten."
