In collaboration with Spirit Halloween, Chipotle is dropping its inaugural costume collection for Halloween, sharing designs inspired by popular memes on both brands' social channels.
Every year, in preparation for Halloween, social media users come up with unique costume ideas featuring the Spirit Halloween costume bag, and two years ago, Chipotle got in on the action by sharing a fictional 'Chipotle Fork' bodysuit. Following this, Chipotle shared a 'Chipotle Napkin' costume concept—and now, these memes have turned into real, wearable costumes. In addition, there are three all-new styles for Halloween, the 'Chipotle Water Cup,' 'Chipotle Burrito,' and the 'Chipotle To-Go Bag,' which work alone and are even stronger when worn as group costumes.
With this collection, Chipotle is the first brand to create meme-inspired costumes with Spirit Halloween.
