    [OC] 10 years of weighing my Saturday Breakfast burrito


    For the last 10 years I have been weighing my Saturday morning breakfast burrito. I pick up a sausage breakfast burrito from the local Los Favs and take it home and weigh it. I have been recording the weights in excel and used it to make the graphs. I have used the same kitchen scale the entire time.

      For ten years you’ve been eating cold burritos for breakfast on Saturdays? Impressive.

      I respect the dedication, that’s a very specific thing to track. I guess the gradual trend downward is your scale losing calibration?

      Rather than Los Favs, I highly recommend the burritos from Los Pollos Hermanos. Might get something extra!

      To me, the amazing thing is to be in the same place for 10 years of Saturdays. I don’t think I’ve had a full year in my life.

      An interesting and novel flavor of autism which I had not yet seen until today. Thanks for sharing, OP

      I think your data would be more informative with labels on the y-axis for your average weight as well as just plotting your standard deviation there instead of a separate graph

      Shrinkflation! Also, I’m sure the cost has gone up significantly too. I want price per ounce. 🙂

      Same scale for ten years – Have you calibrated it recently? Otherwise the measurements could be off.

      Plotting annual average without labeling the [14-16.5oz] y axis makes the change look far larger than it actually is. I’m not generally in favor of non-0-minimum y axes, but *especially* not here where the axis isn’t labeled.

      You could combine the top two charts using a bar for each year’s average and error bars for +/- 1 SD. Alternatively, a boxplot per year could be interesting to see potential outliers or skew.
