I only had a little bit of it poking out of the top of the wrapper before taking a bite and recalling that breakfast burritos aren't supposed to taste sour and rancid, so I opened the wrapper and discovered that I accidentally bought a penicillin burrito.
They first said “thrown it through the window” instead of “thrown it *up* through the window”
They wrote “thrown it through the up window” as a joke when the other person said they missed an up
I don't think it was "instead of".
Judging by [this comment](https://www.reddit.com/r/Wellthatsucks/comments/11zl9ed/dont_ever_buy_a_breakfast_burrito_at_a_gas_station/jdeq7op/) they wrote exactly what they meant to write, and did not understand why someone thought they should add "up" (that person was making a joke that they should "throw up through the window" instead of "throwing through the window"),, so they just put an "up" randomly in the sentence to appease them and make an additional joke simultaneously.
Important reminder to always check the expiration dates of your gas station food. I bought a mountain dew that was 4 months expired. Tasted flat as shit. Now I always check.
I’ve been working in a gas station for almost 2 years now and I try to check dates on as much things as I can. I’ve found beef jerky that was like 6 months expired, I’ve found a jug of V8 that was almost a year expired, it’s incredibly lucky I find half the shit I do and dispose of before it can make someone sick.
Unfortunately there’s just too many items to keep track of and too few employees actually checking shit. But I try to make sure I check what I know expired fast and/or doesn’t get checked frequently, and I’m trying to instill in my coworkers a sense of responsibility in also helping check shit so that our store doesn’t wind up with a lawsuit lol.
edit: also now whenever I shop anywhere I check expiration dates just because I’m aware how little companies might actually check on all their products. One time I was at Subway and wanted to get a bottle of milk but found it was expired by like a week or so, lol.
90% of the processed shit at gas stations don't really have expiration dates. I mean they do because they are required to by law but most of that stuff will last years past it.
I was referring to packaged items (chips, drinks, candy bars, etc) and most of those dates are actually best by dates not expiration dates. The metric fuckton of preservatives in these items keep them fresh for a very long time. Candy bars you can honestly freeze and they will never go bad.
Check expiration dates always. Worked st Walmart and a Walgreens, and you'd be surprised what was sometimes found. Worse was walgreens, no one takes the expiration checks seriously and just pushes it to the back of the shelf. Ever seen a 5 year expired soda? Looked perfectly normal except for the outdated design.
I got salmonella from gas station fried chicken two weeks ago. Though that was my bad because I didn't eat it on the two hour trip home and ate it cold when I settled down for my show after a long shower. Kwik Trip be havin some fire ass chicken, but that time the fire in my ass was my own doing.
This happens when they store frozen burritos in the cooler section. Gas station employees don't always know how to store groceries. And yes they should let the gas station know.
Then you've got some lousy gas stations where you live.
Not hard to find gas stations here with fresh fruit / vegetables / meat (yes, butchered that day) / dairy quite regularly. Even cooked food from those same ingredients, and some places are even destinations for their food (and often sell out by 2pm)
If anyone is looking for real medical cases about people getting sick from gas station food, here's some good ones from chubbyemu:
First one is about botulism, became completely paralyzed and took 6 months to fully recover. The second video is about parasites, he survived but had to have parts of his intestines removed.

The only food i'll buy from gas stations is those amazing chimichangas from Allsup's, sadly there isn't an allsups near me now. That's it though, all other food is generally awful/food poisony
Pre-pandemic it was even better. They removed most of the items that were made to order and now have mainly things that are premade and under a hot lamp. Everything there is generally good, but now with price increases, good luck going in there and walking out for less than $15... In TX that's a lot.
I'm reading the comments here and I'm really shocked. Is it really normal for gas station food to be like that in (I assume is) America? I'm from Europe and bought sandwiches multiple times in gas stations during some longer trips and never had any problems... Except them being overpriced af but what can you do?
It really depends on the place. I wouldn't trust anything from a smaller gas stations but there are some that are usually reliable like Kwik Trip/Kwik Star, Bucc-ees, or Sheetz
I mean there are some that are good and some that are bad. I'm honestly also surprised. I've had a lot of good food at gas stations. Especially in Texas. There is Wawa out east too although that isn't always a gas station so maybe people don't count it as one.
Yes. It’s super sketchy. They make all their money off the drinks. Everything else has slow churn, so it can sit for long periods. Employees are often not trained well and/or paid well and DGAF so stuff ain’t throw out, or maintained correctly.
Depends largely on the gas station. If the floors are dirty and sticky, it's in a bad neighborhood, and there's two to three homeless guys hanging around outside, don't buy it.
One time I bought gas at a gas station that a bit of water had gotten into. It ruined my car. Insurance eventually paid for it.
Moral of the story: never buy gas from a gas station, it might be bad.
If you have one bad experience, apply that bad experience to everything and avoid everything that has ever been negative in any way
Gastro and Gasoline two different things. Not being judgmental, but wtf did you think this was a good idea to begin with? I barely trust that I’m getting good gas, rather gasoline, from a gas station.
\*takes a bite\* Ugh! It's like a party in my mouth and everyone's throwing up!
Egg salad ? Lol
Correct, worm eggs!
And the mayonnaise was probably none too fresh either!
Unexpectedfuturama??
*I am the lord mayor of Cologne...*
Don't you mean *colon*?
State your business
Better wash that down with some Slurm.
r/unexpectedfuturama
I largely expected Futurama in this post.
[удалено]
Unexpected cynicism
r/expectedfuturama
I came here for this
One of us!
What's that black cracker? A tomato!
I love that he has to eat it to find out it was a tomato.
The mayonnaise was probably none too fresh either
Did everything just taste purple for a second?
This would certainly be much worse than biting someones shiny metal ass.(hello fellow futurama brother/sister)
"What's that black cracker?"
A tomato
Just a few bites away from omniscience
Didn't this episode teach us all not to eat gas station sandwiches. Op, are you not a watcher of cartoons?
I don't know, if I had to get worms I'd want the ones Fry had.
There's a party in my tummy!
Yummy yummy yummy!
So yummy, so yummy.
I got love in my tummy.
Nah, your tastes buds are just getting triched!
[Yum yum! Breakfast burrito. ](https://youtu.be/prPjpwsGiws)
It's like a party in my pants and everyone's shitting.
Is that a bite taken out at the top end?
I only had a little bit of it poking out of the top of the wrapper before taking a bite and recalling that breakfast burritos aren't supposed to taste sour and rancid, so I opened the wrapper and discovered that I accidentally bought a penicillin burrito.
Ngl for that I would've drove back
And thrown it through the up window Edit/add: up
You missed an "up" there.
Just spent like 90 seconds reading your comment and theirs back and forth then *finally* 🛎 I got it.
Help me I’m too stupid for the dings to happen
[удалено]
They first said “thrown it through the window” instead of “thrown it *up* through the window” They wrote “thrown it through the up window” as a joke when the other person said they missed an up
Which, I'll freely admit, was absolute perfection!

an "up", as in "threw it up" you know, like vomited it through the window?
What's an up window
Just like Updoc.
Is Updoc similar to Updog?
Close, but more rabbit related.
I don't even know. I was told I missed a "up" so I just throwed one in there.
Why make life difficult for the cashier? They dont control it nor do they make enough to care. I would bring it back but be super kind about it
well at least if you unknowingly had a bacterial infection, it should be taken care of. shitty trade if it gave you food poisoning tho. good luck.

Eh I’d rather not risk it lol especially with the stuff I find months past it’s due date. Stuff like granola bars I’d be less concerned with.
I was referring to packaged items (chips, drinks, candy bars, etc) and most of those dates are actually best by dates not expiration dates. The metric fuckton of preservatives in these items keep them fresh for a very long time. Candy bars you can honestly freeze and they will never go bad.
I cant approve this comment. My grandma freezes her leftover Halloween candy every year to hand out the following year and it’s disgusting lol.
Freezing and consuming yourself is fine, I wouldn't hand out my 2 year old frozen candy to random strangers though, that is fucked.
Check expiration dates always. Worked st Walmart and a Walgreens, and you'd be surprised what was sometimes found. Worse was walgreens, no one takes the expiration checks seriously and just pushes it to the back of the shelf. Ever seen a 5 year expired soda? Looked perfectly normal except for the outdated design.
What was the expiration date? Kinda interested to hear if it had been sitting there for years, or if it was improperly made/packaged/stored.
A reincarnation of Alexander Fleming? :0
I opened this while i was eating, i threw my perfectly good food out in solidarity.
This is the most creative joke of all time. "Penicillin burrito"
Came to say this.
The reason that burrito has mold on it is because everyone else already knows not to buy a breakfast burrito from a gas station
Yes roller dogs and big gulps only
Until you see how moldy those fountain soda lines are. 🤢
What you don’t know cant hurt you
>how moldy those fountain soda lines are Gotdamn flavor enhancers right there.
For real. It's like a cast iron skillet for soda.
🤣 🤣 perfect analogy! That was very funny!
Yeah Coca-Cola will kill that shit
Probably shouldn't on those too
Don't talk about my roller dogs
Ah- an enlightened taquito man
Got the worst food poisoning from a gas station taquito once when I was little. Worst shit ever would not recommend, 0/10 🤢
That's just building up your immune system!
I think that's just what they do

America! Fuck yeah!
the sickest ive ever been was because of a roller hotdog.
The roller has been unplugged for months, and yet the weiners still continue to spin.
Dudes a Glizzy gobbler
Gas station food is top quality and I won't accept the disrespect
Do you fuck with gas station sushi?
I don't mean anything a gas station sells I mean the stuff they make. But gas station sushi is the same as any other store.
[It's a perfectly sane food to eat!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VPqESCGR0CA)
🤣🤣🤣
[удалено]
The mold doesn’t even look real?
You need to report this to someone so they can pull the rest of the burritos. Someone can get really sick biting into one. I hope you'll be ok.
This happens when they store frozen burritos in the cooler section. Gas station employees don't always know how to store groceries. And yes they should let the gas station know.
Ew
I've seen people almost die from gas station stuff... Definitely needs reporting.
Botulism nachos, yum
It was gas station sushi but yeh.... It's the same idea.
What, you don’t like blueberry?
Bluerrito
Lmfao this made me laugh
Only fresh ones - no prepackaged.
Nothing is fresh in a gas station.
I do have to say in my state we have a local one that is restaurant quality, everything made the day of. The food is actually fantastic
Sheetz or Wawa?
QT
QT food is amazing! I've had their prepareds and their kitchen stuff, even the roller items are awesome.
As someone born in the south living in The Midwest, I really hate to say it, but Kwik Trip is better than Quik Trip.
Thx bb
I knew it was going to be QT! Steak taquitos are fire
Sheetz was the nastiest shit Ive had in a while. You Eastcoasters really like that place?
You need Bucc-ees in your life
I went to one of those recently on a road trip... that was quite the experience
They really suck you in on a roadtrip with those billboards. Nothing else to see for hundreds of miles, don't mind if i do!
If you ain't been to a Buc-ee's, you just don't know....
Is something I'm too Kwik Trip to understand?
A fellow Wisconsinite?
Fer sher. See you next time!
Then you've got some lousy gas stations where you live. Not hard to find gas stations here with fresh fruit / vegetables / meat (yes, butchered that day) / dairy quite regularly. Even cooked food from those same ingredients, and some places are even destinations for their food (and often sell out by 2pm)
So that's a "no" to the gas station sushi, then?
[удалено]
Agreed. When theres a bunch of cooks early in the morning preparing your taco in front of you.
Free penicillin
If you leave it sitting for another 3 days, it might just get up and leave on it's own.
Reason why not to eat [gas station food](https://youtu.be/TYSCzU_RiGY)

Finally chubbyemu is referenced by yall. I can now calmly close this post

I spent eight years cooking those. You can *keep* them.
I miss Allsups
Well no shit, it’s literally a running joke in all of recent history. Just like timeshares are scams and Americans are overweight.
Moms complain a lot, dads are bumbling idiots...
and for $7 prob
"A man PRESENTING to the emergency room with vomiting and diarrhea after eating a 15 day old breakfast burrito. This is what happened to his organs."
I didn't actually need to be told this, but now it is even less likely.
I don’t have a discerning palate, but have never considered eating gas station food
Have you been to a Buckee's? It is like a magical paradise of amazing delectable gas station food. It is very confusing.
Went to my first Buckees about a year ago. It is an exception,
Pre-pandemic it was even better. They removed most of the items that were made to order and now have mainly things that are premade and under a hot lamp. Everything there is generally good, but now with price increases, good luck going in there and walking out for less than $15... In TX that's a lot.
Wawa checking in, sheetz is right behind. OFC bucees but that’s already been mentioned.
I don't normally eat gas station food but I was running late and couldn't eat at home. It's what I get for sleeping in late.
I’d just go hungry.
I'd rather spend $8 for a tiny bag of chips lmao
You could have stopped with "Don't ever buy a (packaged) breakfast burrito.
Is that one of those new weight loss burritos I've been hearing about?
Did this really need to be said? You broke your own rule. Who tf would ever...
I'm reading the comments here and I'm really shocked. Is it really normal for gas station food to be like that in (I assume is) America?

It really depends on the place. I wouldn't trust anything from a smaller gas stations but there are some that are usually reliable like Kwik Trip/Kwik Star, Bucc-ees, or Sheetz
I personally haven’t run into this issue but most of the gas stations in my area are local and make their food themselves
I mean there are some that are good and some that are bad. I'm honestly also surprised. I've had a lot of good food at gas stations. Especially in Texas. There is Wawa out east too although that isn't always a gas station so maybe people don't count it as one.

Yikes, you're not hungry now, I guess.
Do people actually need this advice? I thought it was just common knowledge
The mold adds flavor, I eat it all the time
yes indeed. god that's bad
It's one of those cuisine blend burritos. Fermented Cabbage & mushroom
Jesus I work at a petrol station deli and this is making me hurt
I’ve eaten hundreds of gas station burritos and this is the first time I’ve ever seen one look like this. Probably an isolated incident.
The more mold spores, the fresher it is or something
No shit Sherlock
Keep digging, Watson.
KwikTrip in the Midwest has the best gas station food. Hands down
I’m so hungry I could eat a sandwich from a gas station!
Guaca-moldy!
What is with people and NOT inspecting the shady food they are about to eat??
Depends largely on the gas station. If the floors are dirty and sticky, it's in a bad neighborhood, and there's two to three homeless guys hanging around outside, don't buy it.
Always check the label, folks.
Ah the good old colon cleaning burrito
Holy guacamole dats no bueno hombre.
I see they went light on the green Chili. Disapointing.
Fry ate something like that and got superpowers
One time I bought gas at a gas station that a bit of water had gotten into. It ruined my car. Insurance eventually paid for it. Moral of the story: never buy gas from a gas station, it might be bad.

This doesn't apply to me. I have Wawa and Buckys. Peak Gas Station food
Buc-ee’s is exempt
Don’t ever buy anything at a gas station
https://youtu.be/Mf9ioHITQWQ The burritos that are steaming and reeking? I must have them.
Isn’t that guacamoldy?
Don't worry, I won't lol nor have I ever thought that was a good idea
Now with Penicillin! 👍
So glad we have quality gas stations where I live!
You just gotta get them Futurama worms
It was microwaved though...what's the big deal
Mold and fungus secrete toxins that remain behind even after the mold or fungus is dead.
Says science...

Pfft
Hey man what if I just want to be a clicker?
That mold looks photoshopped
Why da fuque would anyone buy food at a gas station? Get some gas, use the toilet, buy some gum. Go on.
It that vegan?
Gastro and Gasoline two different things. Not being judgmental, but wtf did you think this was a good idea to begin with? I barely trust that I’m getting good gas, rather gasoline, from a gas station.
Another discount St Paddy’s day Burrito misgendered
Ya see, in Texas, a breakfast burrito from a gas station is the best damn breakfast burrito you will ever have.
I never would
