Burrito With Face Begins Growing Mold. Impresses Ladies With “Mold-stache”

Esteban the Burrito was suppose to be lunch. Now he's growing a mustache.

A forgotten Chipotle burrito discovered under the passenger seat of a 2018 Honda Civic has reportedly become the neighborhood’s most eligible bachelor after sprouting a thick, rugged layer of Penicillium fuzz above its lip.

The burrito, named "Esteban", was originally purchased three weeks ago by an aspiring designer named Willy Case. While Willy initially abandoned the foil-wrapped entree due to "too much sour cream," nature had other plans. What started as a simple smudge of guacamole oxidation has blossomed into a distinguished, charcoal-grey handlebar mustache that Willy’s colleagues describe as "distinguished," "suave," and "a biohazard." The discussion drew experts to the scene stating that sometime between Day 4 and Day 9 conditions became ideal for the bold new look, described as a “mold-stache.” According to a highly official statement from a man in a puffer jacket who claimed he “follows food science accounts,” the burrito’s transformation likely began when residual moisture, warmth, and a sealed environment created “a kind of hot yoga studio for microbes.” Willy says it was an, “I’ll deal with it later” decision that turned from forgotten backseat regret to mysterious emotional phenomenon. “I mean, just look at him,” he says starring at Esteban.

"I used to just walk past that car and see garbage," said Carmen Duffkin, a marketing executive who once dated the burrito’s owner and lives in the adjacent apartment complex. "But yesterday, the sun hit the passenger window, and I saw him. That stoic expression. That velvety, spore-based facial hair. It just screams maturity. He looks like he listens, you know? Unlike Willy.”

Local mycologists confirm the mold growth has settled perfectly along the burrito's upper tortilla fold, giving it the rugged aesthetic of an 1840’s coal miner.

"It’s the texture," admitted another admirer, stopping to take a selfie. "Most guys try too hard with beard oil and trimmers. Esteban just let it happen."
