In the 1990s, he made millions off 'Dilbert.' Then, he discovered Trump.

"Over the last two decades, 45-year-old library assistant John Takis has witnessed some of the most important events in modern U.S. history. He lived through the cyber paranoia of Y2K. He saw the violent, fiery destruction of the World Trade Center broadcast on television. He heard the American government loudly declare war on Iraq not once, but twice. None of these dark, confusing experiences of the early 2000s, however, could prepare him for one of the strangest - and maybe most maligned - pop culture artifacts in recent memory: the Dilberito."

"The culinary monstrosity, created in 1999 by "Dilbert" cartoonist and Trump acolyte Scott Adams, is exactly what it sounds like. It's a burrito, except it's directly tied to his famous cartoon character that once accompanied thousands of newspapers circulating across the world. With its garish color scheme and debossed packaging, the vegetarian burritos - which contained blasphemous ingredients like corn, broccoli and dry vitamins - promised to provide cheap, nutritious meals to broke college students and weary office drones."

"It's just one of the many dubious products that Adams, who died in January, left behind, becoming a strange footnote in his controversial legacy. And though it's been nearly 30 years since the Dilberito was unleashed on the masses, there's still a small but vocal group of survivors who recall eating it. Have their opinions on it changed, or remained the same through the test of time? And, more importantly, how does the burrito's creator feel about releasing a product that, according to Adams, made you "fart so hard your intestines formed a tail?""

John Takis, a 45-year-old library assistant, lived through major early-2000s events and remembers the Dilberito. Scott Adams released the Dilberito in 1999 as a branded vegetarian frozen burrito containing crushed vitamins, corn, and broccoli. The product featured garish packaging, debossed branding, and was marketed as cheap, nutritious sustenance for broke students and office workers. The Dilberito failed commercially and drew ridicule for taste and side effects. Scott Adams later became a controversial public figure and died in January, leaving the Dilberito as a remembered, maligned element of his legacy.
