Chipotle Launches the Festive All I Want is Chipotle Set
Chipotle introduced a holiday merchandise collection with the launch of the All I Want is Chipotle set. This is a festive series of three items wrapped carefully in minimal packaging. It is highlighted by the unique Cilantro soap, which is an unconventional product that nods to the ongoing debate on the herb.
Some enjoy it and believe it tastes like a fresh zesty addition to a dish and others think that it is similar to the taste of a bar of soap. The second product to follow is the Water Cup candle. It has the scent of lemonade and is a playful twist on the classic 'water cup' being filled with other libations instead. Rounding out the collection is the Car Napkin Holder which is crafted from vegan cactus leather.
