One thing I love about hand-made signs is that they always make me think of what was probably a pretty hilarious backstory that lead up to the making of the sign. Like, what was going on that irritated someone enough to necessitate the making of this one?
With this one, I am just imagining all of the times the person who works at this gas station/ convenience store had to clean the inside of the store's microwave after yet another burrito explosion, like "for Chrissake, WE NEED A SIGN TO WARN PEOPLE ABOUT THIS," just scrubbing and scrubbing, getting more and more irritated, until they are finally compelled to go to Office Depot on their off hours, buy the bright orange construction paper, cut it into this badge-like shape, and write the instructions on it. This person is serious, man!
Also funny– please note that, apparently after the fact, a modified was added– "La India Brand," as if to exclude and pardon other brands of burritos that probably don't explode when you cook them.
I will spare you a detailed discussion of how gross I think it is to buy and eat a burrito from a gas station, especially one that has been cooked in a microwave that probably has exploded burrito remnants all over it, because you know not everyone reads that sign, bold and colorful though it is. I just don't have faith in gas station food, I'm afraid, whether it comes with informative signage or not.
Another thing I find funny about these types of signs is that, the way they are written (in the maker's heightened emotional state about the burritos and how they have to stop this problem), they almost always sound like platitudes or truisms, like they are saying this for ALL burritos, EVER. "BURRITOS WILL EXPLODE IF YOU DON'T OPEN THEM," ok? This is universal wisdom that is effective across all races and creeds. Everyone who microwaves a burrito can benefit from this information!
And thus, it was spake on the mount: "CAUTION! Burritos Will Explode If You Don't Open Them!"
Take this wisdom and go forth, people.
