So some friends and I have a running joke/thing. Anytime someone goes to SF they are obligated to FedEx a standard tube filled with El Farolito carnitas super burritos back. A tube fits 5 IIRC and it works great. (This happens so infrequently I do not worry about it impacting my carbon footprint enough to the point I am judged in the afterlife.) It's not the same thing as a pneumatic tube, but it's the closest we could manage without talking to VCs. And SF-Manhattan is close enough to Alameda-Weehawken for me. Pro tip: no sour cream, add on remote end if desired and at all costs avoid getting your tube stuck in the mail room over a weekend.
- justizin 11y agoAn old friend of mine who visits SF periodically has certified that a mission burrito will make it through TSA, and always buys one at the last moment before boarding a plane, to enjoy during his readjustment to east coast life.
- lifeformed 11y agoHow long does the trip take? Are they good to eat when they arrive?
- apaprocki 11y agoIf you ship them right before the nightly cut-off for delivery the next morning they've always been fine. I assume the cargo hold is cold, so that would help as well.
- greeko 11y agoIt's certainly playing with fire, but I've never heard of anyone getting sick after eating a 24 hour old burrito stored at room temperature. This is assuming that it's a not a super burrito (no cheese, no sour cream, no avocado)
