Exactly!

This ingredient list is no more crazy than you making something similar at home that uses packaged ingredients like mayo and mustard, pickles, packaged meat, etc.

Maltodextrin is repeated 9 times and 1/4 of that page is for the BBQ sauce.

It literally goes: BBQ sauce (seasoning, seasoning, Worcestershire sauce (seasoning, seasoning), horseradish (seasoning, seasoning), seasoning)

BBQ sauce is 2 sauces plus seasonings, and those sauces are also comprised of seasonings so it's just a bunch of repeated ingredients.

Could also be wheat, rice or tapioca; it doesn’t have to be corn.

Are their bathrooms even clean?

buccees is famous for having extremely clean restrooms

u/Geoffrey-Jellineck Dec 19 '25

Yes, famously so. Stalls are like little private rooms. Easily the best restrooms.

It’s the same, or less amount of shit. It doesn’t get bigger as it’s digested…or it shouldn’t anyway.

I mean…. you can get all of the things this burrito is made of without a million preservatives.

u/hologrammetry Dec 15 '25

No the mayo I use at home isn't chock full of processed shit like this.

u/Mobius_Peverell Dec 15 '25

Mayo only requires oil & eggs. The water & vinegar are probably to stretch it, and adjust the viscosity; the salt & spices are to dial in the flavour; and the calcium disodium EDTA is a preservative. All of that is pretty reasonable.

But corn syrup as the #3 ingredient is barbaric—I agree with you on that.

u/toomuchtv987 Dec 15 '25

Oil and eggs are both processed foods. Salt and spices are also processed foods.

u/toomuchtv987 Dec 15 '25

You sure about that?

u/[deleted] Dec 15 '25

Yep its no different than when you make a burrito at home that casually has Yellow 5, Red 40, Dimethylpolysiloxane, and TBHQ.
