This body pillow is for people who are lonely and have a potentially unhealthy obsession with Mexican food. Designed by Lauren Venell, the Super Burrito is for people who refer to food as their boyfriend or girlfriend. This product is great for hardcore burrito fans who also want an imaginary friend.
Inside a silver lame 'wrapper' lies handmade guacamole, sour cream, cheese, salsa, cheese and other ingredients made out of fabric. The body pillow is "as tall as a beefy second grader" and made out of fleece, felt and polyfill stuffing. The burrito makes a hilarious gift for friends or family too. You can also treat yourself, as Venell puts it and "have your burrito and spoon it too."
