BOGO Chipotle?

"It’s more about education than it is about our business."

Chipotle fanatics, look alive! At the moment, Chipotle is doing a ‘Friend or Faux?’ promotion that could sway every foodie more towards the Chipotle side of eating.

If you go to the Chipotle site, you can see their banner for the ‘Friend or Faux?’ competition.

How It Works:

First off, it is best to study the ingredients that it gives you (or do what I did and screenshot each item).

Then choose which type of food you want to compare, press ‘PLAY NOW’ and get ready for some basic ingredient questions.

You only have to answer twenty questions and once you're done, BOGO CHIPOTLE! That is right: buy-one-get-one chipotle!

From someone who rather enjoys her carnitas soft tacos with cheese and rice, I can tell you that this makes me a very happy person.

“With this Friend of Faux campaign, we have created a fun and engaging way to show people what is in our food, and what is in traditional fast food or processed packaged food. By offering a BOGO, we are simply providing an incentive for them to play the game and learn what is in the food they eat,” Chipotle’s Communicator Director Chris Arnold told me over the phone.

The quiz is a one-time thing unless you share the quiz with your friends on social media.

Once you take the quiz you’ll receive a text that is 'faux sho’ an exciting sight. You have to wait seven days to receive your BOGO, but isn’t it worth it?

After you take the test, you are put in the drawing to receive free Chipotle for a year! An entire year of Chipotle.

“Chipotle for a year would be a dream come true! I would definitely take advantage of it, and then pinch myself every time because it almost seems too good to be true,” Chipotle customer Katie Dawson says.

Also, you will receive texts from Chipotle for deals four times a month, so once a week you get to eagerly wait for that golden text of Chipotliness.

This campaign started to demonstrate how Chipotle’s food is different from other companies out there.

Chipotle is trying to show that they use a lot less ingredients - 86, to be exact - in all of their foods, compared to the unhealthy 150 artificial ingredients in many other food companies'.

This promotion is mainly to educate people about what they eat and to hopefully make them more curious about the things that they decide to eat, to hopefully have someone choose to have more fresh ingredients rather than get something with so much artificial flavoring.

The ‘Faux’ menu items are meant to be representatives of ingredients that are usually derived in fast food.

This educational promotion on your food goes through August. The BOGO deals can be issued through Aug 10, and can be redeemed within 21 days, which gives you 'til Aug 31 to use.

Where will you stand after playing the game? Will you decide on ‘Friend’ or ‘Faux’?

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.

There are a lot of foods in this world, but there is only one dish that stands above the rest: Pizza. If you're close to me or at least know who I am, then you know that I'm totally obsessed with pizza. It's one of my favorite things to eat and I will NEVER turn down a slice, even if it doesn't have my favorite toppings. There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not thinking about pizza. I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.
