Need something besides the newspaper (or your daily to-do list) to read at lunch? Chipotle’s got you covered.
In clever, hipster style, the ubiquitous Mexican grill is printing original essays, quotes and humorous thoughts by 10 “thought leaders” on its cups and bags, starting this week. With, of course, Etsy-esque artwork that’ll make Starbucks green with envy.
Who, might you ask, would be influential enough to tap for this project? Turns out its a who’s who of intelligencia including Jonathan Safran Foer, Pulitzer prize winning reporter Sheri Fink, Malcolm Gladwell, experimental psychologist Steve Pinker, Toni Morrison and a few less, well, erudite (but equally entertaining and thought-provoking) Hollywood types including Judd Apatow, Bill Hader, and (BiteClub fave) Sarah Silverman.
One of my favorites “thoughts: is by Bill Saunders: “Hope that, in future, all is well, everyone eats free, no one must work, all just sit around feeling love for one another.” Eating free is especially tempting!
Hey, at least its a little more entertaining than the quotes on the bottom of In ‘N Out cups. (Cue thunder striking me down).

I have been browsing online over Three hours currently, still Irrrve never observed virtually any exciting write-up just like your own. It is actually attractive worth enough in my opinion. In my view, when virtually all website owners in addition to blog writers created ideal content material as you does, the net is usually far more helpful than ever.
Too bad Chipotle Mexican Grill forgot to include any Mexican American among its writers, artists and “thought leaders.”
It’s an unfortunate oversight for a company that profits of of Mexican cuisine and whose labor force – all the way “from farm to face” – relies in no small way on a Latino labor force.

Heather, you must have the quotes on the In-N-Out cups confused with some other place. The only quotes that have ever been on the bottom of the cups are “John 3:16”, no more no less. Which reads “For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son that whoever believes in Him will not parish but have eternal life”. That is a far cry from anything about “thunder striking me down”.
