    Once upon a time in the bustling city of New York, lived two best friends, Mike and Tony. They were inseparable - two peas in a pod, handsome as can be, with personalities as vibrant as the city’s nightlife. They were known in their circle for their unique humor and impeccable taste in burritos. Their love for burritos was so intense that they had a dedicated day for it - ‘Burrito Thursdays’.

    One fateful Burrito Thursday, Mike and Tony visited their favorite Mexican joint, ‘La Lucha Libre’. They were known faces here, and their favorite burrito, aptly named ‘The Terminator’, was already waiting for them. Tony looked at the monstrous burrito, feeling both delight and apprehension, while Mike was ready to devour it as always.

    Fast forward to that night. The friends had consumed their beloved burritos and retired to their shared apartment, in a food coma. As they were bachelors and often too lazy to fix the second bed, they ended up sharing the same one.

    In the middle of the night, Mike’s stomach started to rumble. As he got up from bed, Tony, ever the bestest of friends, turned his head to respect Mike’s privacy and preference to sleep in the nude.

    In the next room, their roommate, a sneaky cat named Whiskers with a passion for photography, captured the moment with his pet-cam, and before the morning sun had fully risen, the picture was all over Catstagram with the caption: “I can’t, I had a burrito.”

    As the picture started gaining traction, it found its way onto various platforms. People speculated different contexts, the picture was shared and reshared, memes were made, and comments flooded in. The most amusing ones being - “I’m not gay, can you explain this?” and “The burrito turned him straight.”

    Meanwhile, Mike and Tony were oblivious to their overnight fame. They woke up to hundreds of notifications and a phone call from ‘La Lucha Libre’ offering them a year’s supply of ‘The Terminator’.

    And from that day forward, Burrito Thursdays became a town legend, Mike’s burrito predicaments an inside joke, and the duo’s friendship a meme sensation. The story of two handsome men, a shared bed, and a burrito that supposedly ‘turned one straight’ became an unlikely tale of humor and bromance in the heart of New York City.
