It's interesting that your second tracked burrito ever was the heaviest, with another abnormally heavy one following soon after. Did you change measurement methods (different scale, etc) or did those just happen to be heavy burritos right at the beginning?

Most burrito dealers do that the first couple times to get you hooked.

It’s true. I once told a kebab guy it was my first ever and he loaded up a monster of a meal for me in one wrap. Nothings ever come close and I’ve been chasing that high since.

I still have dreams of my first gyro. I thought i hated lamb. Not this lamb.

I had a serious debate about how sick was too sick to be worth a second meal.

In all seriousness, there is no logical connection between the second burrito being weighed as the highest and your hypothesis

There is outlier data that matches the initially high data points in the latter half of the set, that if normalized by a moving average would be identical in value

The real connection is that having a massive burrito on your 2nd ever trip to a place may trigger or encourage tracking of the weights of burritos. Op may have been intreagued by the varience in weights, perhaps hoping next time or one day they'll get a bigger burrito, only to chase that high or PR for the remainder of the experiment.

If the second one is what triggered it, then the first one we’d have data for would be that one (or the third).

The fact that we have data for the first seems to imply that isn’t the case.

The staff clocked him weighing it the first time so made a big one next time
