North Korea Claims Kim Jong Il Invented Burritos
According to North Korean media, burritos were invented by the late Kim Jong Il.
The state propaganda outlet, Rodong Sinmun, said that the dictator, the father of current North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, actually came up with the burrito in 2011 before he died of a heart attack.
This, of course, is not the first odd assertion to come from the country. Some other weird and outlandish statements from North Korea have been that Kim had 11 holes-in-one during an 18-hole course of golf, Kim Jong Un was such a gifted child that he could drive at the age of three and that no one in the country is disabled. In 2016, the country claimed that, due to their advancement in medicine, they could cure both AIDS and cancer, according to Ranker.

In 1978, Kim Jong-il reportedly ordered the kidnapping of celebrated South Korean film-maker Shin Sang-ok and his actor wife Choi Eun-hee so that they could make a socialist version of Godzilla, his all-time favourite film.
In 2000, a new food "invented" by Kim Jong-il called "Gogigyeopbbang" was introduced to North Koreans. It was described as "double bread with meat", but took on the uncanny appearance of a conventional hamburger.
In 2006, another culinary revolution was introduced on Jong-il's orders in an attempt to alleviate food shortages – the breeding of giant rabbits.
A government website once stated that Kim Jong-il never needed to urinate or defecate. But the reference was later removed.
In 1994, when he succeeded his father and "Eternal President" Kim Il-sung to lead North Korea, he was granted the first of more than 200 official titles. These included "Guiding Star of the 21st Century", "Glorious General, Who Descended from Heaven", "Amazing Politician", "Ever-Victorious, Iron-Willed Commander" and "Highest Incarnation of the Revolutionary Comradely Love".
