Burger King may be about to make every college kid’s dream come true. The fast food chain has unveiled the unholy offspring of a cheeseburger and a burrito, aptly named the Whopperrito, reports [GrubGrade](http://www.grubgrade.com/food-news/new-whopperrito-from-burger-king). The mash-up menu item apparently takes all the toppings from a Whopper—cheese, meat, lettuce, tomato, onion, and [pickle](http://time.com/4238762/burger-king-whopper-80-pickles/)—and wraps them in a tortilla. Sadly, Burger King seems to have missed the opportunity to take a page from the [California burrito cookbook](http://firstwefeast.com/eat/2015/05/the-french-fry-filled-california-burrito-deserves-your-respect) by adding some fries into the mix. (Seriously, they’re sitting right there.)

If this news had broken closer to April 1, we might have wondered if it were a prank, but [Burger King](http://time.com/4050395/burger-king-black-burger-bun-whopper-halloween/) has been [toying with their Whoppers](http://time.com/4274866/burger-king-angriest-whopper-red-buns/) lately (including adding a [Whopper dog](http://fortune.com/2016/05/09/burger-king-whopper-dog/)), and it looks like the Whopperrito could soon be a delicious reality. The drunken dream food is currently being tested at Burger King locations in Hermitage, Pa., but it’s unclear if the chain will roll out the Whopperrito to menus nationwide. If not, a road trip is evidently in order.
