THE END IS NEAR FOLKS!
OH, THE HORROR!
This is the final installment on my discovery of "fresh" whole-wheat wraps with a shelf life of 90 days (I'm still nauseated by that). It began with my initial posting and my letter to the La Tortilla Factory on June 12. I felt compelled to write to them regarding my shock when I first realized that the package of tortillas that I purchased on June 11 was given a "sell-by" date of August 30. Their response was appreciated and professional, yet left me feeling uneasy about how a baked product with sunflower seeds, olive oils and whole grains could be made to last such an unnaturally long life.
I posted a follow-up and taste test on July 25. There was no visible mold. And, they were not drying out like I would expect tortillas to do after one month. Creepy!
The sell-by date is now upon us!
Are they cursed with eternal life?
Will the Frankentortillas survive?
Will I be getting a phone call from Universal's lawyers?

There are no words for this. I am bowing down to your genius.
I'm speechless.
Well, I'm not sure we have to worry about Matt having a 'first born'...at least until science thinks of something, but we do need to worry about those poor ww tortillas.
I think someone's due for a stint in masa rehab...before he strikes again!
Love the L'homage to Psycho.
HAR! Now that was an Oscar deserving performance! Bravo! Bravo!

I'm still trying to figure out how milk suddenly got a longer shelf life. The last bottle I bought on Saturday August 25, had an expiration date of Sept 7.
Somebody has a lot of time, not to mention tortilla blood, on his hands.
Is your knife OK??
...ahh...ahhhh.. ahhh-
--hahhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!11!!
I mostly check internet type stuff from work, but I can't watch video from there.
So, I've known of your Tortilla Co. quest, but haven 't really been able to see it-until now!
Best. Vlog. Evuh. dude.
I ain't gonna have no first born, and I'm pretty sure I ain't gettin' no tattoo soon, but my new idol... yeah, his name is Kevin. All hail Shai Hulud.
*breaks up in hysterical laughter*
Loves it!!!
