Actor Jason Segel has quit Twitter after inviting the wrath of his followers when he chose to tweet - "Sandwiches are more diverse than burritos".

The 34-year-old actor didn't use his account on the social media for over two days after the same, reports contactmusic.com.

Speaking on "The David Letterman Show", he said: "It was 2 a.m. and I was hungry so I went to my kitchen and I had a choice between a burrito and a sandwich. I chose to make a sandwich; it was delightful."

"So I innocently tweeted, 'Sandwiches are more diverse than burritos.' For the next day and a half, there was a firestorm of debate. 'You're an idiot, you don't know about burritos.' And I said 'I do know about burritos and if they get too diverse, they're a wrap.'"

When the situation cooled down, the actor posted a photograph of himself holding a burrito and wrote: "Ok. Burrito lovers. I made a giant delicious burrito. Get off my back. It's still not as good as a sandwich. Sorry."
