guzman y gomez us closures spark unlikely nostalgia for the multiverse's worst airport burrito
In a twist that no one saw coming, the sudden announcement of Guzman y Gomez US closures has sent the internet into a chaotic spiral of grief for a burrito that was, objectively, about as authentic as a kangaroo in a sombrero. The Australian-Mexican fast food chain, which somehow convinced Americans that a "mission burrito" should come with a side of Vegemite attitude, is shuttering its US locations due to "strategic realignment." Cue the memes: users are now comparing the closures to losing that one friend who always orders the weirdest thing on the menu but you kind of miss them anyway. "I never went, but I'm sad it's gone," has become the rallying cry of the internet, perfectly capturing the irony of mourning a chain that was famous for being a cultural mismatch. The real joke? The only thing more confusing than why they came to the US is why anyone is pretending they'll miss the overly salty chips.
