Why are Americans calling burritos, wraps?!


Question: Why are Americans calling burritos, wraps!?
I don't get it, just call it a burrito! Its not a wrap or twister like kfc calls them, or other fast food restaurants!. Who agrees or Disagrees with me!?Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
Its less ethnic!. Remember Americans have a history of homogenizes everything that's ethnic and tasty!. They want to enjoy it without the traces of anything that the chinese, mexicans, indians or any other group might bring to mind!. Remember chicken chow mein whatever happened to that!?!?!?!?!?!?!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

It doesn't really matter what you call them but their is a minor difference in that shell that wraps come in are fastened closed while shells in burritos are just folded!. So the stuff in wraps can't fall out like burritos!. But yeah their basically the same thing!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

They eat like horses and don't want to sound like canibals (little burros)lol!. I'm american and I haven't figured out most of what the advertisers do!. I hate their commercials and cutesy,stupid names they pin on stuff!. Ignorance, I guess!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I think that burritos have beans or rice in it!. A flour tortilla wrapped around a filling, as of beef, beans, or cheese!.

They have dumbed the name down so some fatass wont say I dont like anything that isnt bland and full of lard!. Wraps are basically tortillas without any substance, you need a pallett knife to scrape them off the roof of your mouth they are so tackyWww@FoodAQ@Com

A wrap is not a burrito!. It contains cheese, turkey and lettuce!. It is not supposed to be like a burrito, which by the way, is an American invention!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

They call it that I guess to get an easily remembered name to an altered recipe!. Wraps are WRAPPED around the ingredients which are NOT burrito ingredients - so call it by the way it is done!.!.!. :)Www@FoodAQ@Com

A real burrito has those!.
"Wraps", like at KFC, just have chicken and lettuce and cheese!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
