The son called and is driving 35 miles with his college friends to wrap themselves in foil and get free food. Any one else doing this? Is this really true?
Saturday, Chipotle locations around the country will offer free burritos to anyone willing to wrap themselves in a suit of aluminum foil, and the most CSU-centric location will not be an exception.
John McNutt, the manager of the restaurant on College Avenue and Laurel Street, said during the annual event, his business gives an average of 1,857, or $13,000 worth, of burritos to Halloween enthusiasts in the bizarre costumes.
"Last year I saw someone in a full head-to-toe burrito costume," McNutt said.
He said the line of employees are able to make around six burritos per minute, keeping the line moving fast and smooth.
According to the franchise's Web site, the event helps Chipotle by getting its name out there.
Chipotle will offer the special from 6 to 10 p.m.
Some Chipotle restaurants hold up to five free-burrito days a year, which actually increases Chipotles overall sales, according to their Web site
Don't forget Chipotle Away to get the blood out of your underwear!

Just did it. Waited in line for 45 minutes, and only wrapped my wrist in foil. When they rung it up, it came to a 9.75 burrito. Definitely worth it for a college student.

Chipotle is awesome. I've actually researched locations and planned gas stops during road trips based on which exits have Chipotles. And I've never needed Chipotle Away, either.

Ever tried one? They aren't worth that price. All I could think of was "smoke damage". Blackened Cajun style doesn't translate well into Mexican.
