Chipotle advertises 1,050kcal burrito as 300kcal and is now facing a lawsuit.
>three customers who bought the burrito in Los Angeles this month are suing. As City News Service reports, one of the men behind the proposed class-action lawsuit brought in Los Angeles Superior Court ordered the menu item on Nov. 3 thinking it was a 300-calorie dish. David Desmond "felt excessively full and realized that the burrito couldn’t have been just 300 calories" after eating it, per the complaint.
WTF is Chipotle's problem?
Evan Moore
>WTF is Chipotle's problem?
They're trying to regain their prior stock prices. But it seems they have shot themselves in the foot, again.
Connor Edwards
>seeking damages in excess of the 25 cents worth of water used to flush the toilet after he shit it out The real question is wtf is wrong with America when you can sue for "feeling excessively full".
Isaac Cox
Only in America would someone think an entire burrito is only 300 calories, the fucking tortilla alone is over 300.
Chase Miller

Adam Kelly
The '300 calorie' part of the sign applies only to the chorizo and none of the other ingredients. It's a case of poor labeling that Chipotle didn't notice for whatever reason.
A better question to ask is why this guy didn't stop eating if he was starting to feel full, and save the rest of the burrito for later.
Jordan Nelson
What does this mean you stupid faggot
Carter Wright
>to intelligent to figure out calories
Grayson Gray
Yes. The rest of the world can't get over how objectively terrible you are, wheelchair-lardmower. And there is nothing wrong woth enjoying cautionary tales. :)

As News reports, one of the men behind the proposed class-action lawsuit brought in Super Los Angeles Hegemonial Court ordered the menu item on Nov. 3 thinking it was a 1000-calorie dish. David Desmond "felt famished and realized that the nutrient cannister couldn’t have been 1000 calories" after eating it, per the complaint. Mister Desmond has placed in a penitentiary facility where he will await trial.
Ryan Morgan
I'm glad this is happening to them. The founder is a flaming faggot (no, really) and he lives a disgusting lifestyle.
David Long
>American realizes burrito couldn't possibly be 300 calories >DUMB AMERICANS HOW COULD THEY THINK A BURRITO IS 300 CALORIES?!?!?!11 You're an even bigger retard than that guy if you think that's what the lawsuit is about. Don't they have truth-in-advertising laws in your country?
Eli Price
Nah man, only people in america can sue (and get into the news) because of shit like that. You got idiots knowing basically nothing about nutrition and calories everywhere. Never seen someone use olive oil, instead of butter because they had to lose weight, or something similar? Retards are everywhere. He's right about the tortilla part, if it isn't 300kcal, it's at least really close.
Henry Butler
>advertising as for being smaller than it is What the fuck? You're supposed to promote your food as more for your money. Chipotle can't even cheat right.
Hunter Green

Carter Hall
Lads you're here thinking these bints genuinely thought the Burrito was ever 300 cal
I sincerely doubt it
Whats more likely is these three fucko's realized they had a major company by the balls for a false advertising and went in on a class action to make bank by feigning ignorances. Woe is me I ate 700 extra calories that day oh no~
The actual harm to the plaintiff doesn't exist and is irrelevant to the case. What IS relevant is if Chipotle advertised the product improperly or not. If court finds they did, they can be held liable for 'reasonable' financial "damages", IE a payoff.
There's two ways it goes. Either they don't have a case, and it gets thrown out of court before a judicial hearing. Or they do have a case, and Chipotle settles out of court and just hands the fucko's a check and changes their signage, rather than waste time fighting it out and spending more funds on lawyer fees than they would hushing the cunts
Kevin Ortiz
See Fucking yuropoors, this is an American board
Elijah Gutierrez
That's very well possible, but the laughable claim from chipotle still stands. How could they be that retarded and think nobody would notice and why didn't anyone notice earlier.
Luis Perez
why did they fall?
Samuel Evans
Just out of curiosity, where are you from? Hopefully not the U.K., where obesity rates among whites is about the same as it is in the U.S.
Jack Sanders
How big is the burrito, and what's in it?? If it's more than two or three inches long and filled with cheese there's no way anyone could think it was 300kcal.
Jose Hughes
This. You guys are focusing on the wrong aspect. There are people out there that just look for shit like this to try and get a payday but the case has to be taken under consideration that some companies would try something similar maliciously.
Chipotle will likely settle.
Mason Howard
>Go to McDonalds A and order a large fry >It's about half empty
>Go to McDonalds B and order a large fry >It's not only full, there's another small fry worth in the bottom of the bag

Angel Kelly
Burrito pushers are sick, but at least he didn't open up pizza places.
Connor Miller
Chipotle is shit anyways.
I don't give a shit how "quality" their toppings are, they are really limited and their meats all taste like shit
Matthew Gray
Pretty much this. Someone found a flaw and wants a settlement on a company who's already in a bind because they literally haven't offered anything new to innovate their product
Gabriel Green
I'm totally getting chipitole tomorrow for lunch
Best burrito coming though
Cilantro rice pinto beans carnitas fresh hot sauce sour cream no cheese you dirty white boy i mean, what else do you want
steak and gauc is for chads.
Jaxson Miller
Because of the salmonella scare that happened many months back.

Parker Bennett
Who the fuck even eats a burrito to be healthy? Really watching them calories.
Juan Nguyen
I don't eat any food "to be healthy", but I can easily see why someone might eat burritos for that purpose. It's a balanced meal containing protein, vegetables, legumes, etc.
As for "calories", that's simply a matter of how much you eat. Nobody said you had to eat a jumbo burrito, user. You could easily make smaller ones. Or eat half of a large one.
Ian Hughes
*guac
Carter Wilson
"Dude a commercial said the ingrediants were healthy! That means I lose weight!"
There are too many people who think this way
Carter Clark
>I want to lose weight! >let's go for some chipotle's
Americans were a mistake
Dylan Evans
You can sue anyone or almost anything if you want, winning said suit is another thing all together.
Easton Brooks
infantile behavior.
Leo Howard
>scare
It wasn't a "scare". They literally poisoned over 50 people. Couple that with the fact that a fucking burrito store was irrationally trading at over $700 a share. Even if you don't know shit about finance, let that sink in for a moment.
Nicholas Diaz
>a fucking burrito store was irrationally trading at over $700 a share. >Even if you don't know shit about finance i know nothing about finance and have literally no idea what that means
Jordan Wilson
Now it trades at a realistic $400...
Xavier Collins
It was worth as much as Alphabet/Google/Amazon stock at one point? Wow.
Jonathan Wood
>fastfood is more valuable than computer technologies only in America!
Cameron Cooper
I got extremely sick about 2 months ago on a buisiness trip in Oregon. The only things I ate before I couldn't stomach food, vomited every few hours, and had liquid/mucus shits, was a chipotle steak burrito bowl and a few bites of a 6" turkey sub at Subway.
Dominic Barnes
When you purchase shares of a business, you literally own a fraction of that company (equal to the amount of shares you own vs how many exist). Stock price is generally based off what the company's expected earnings will be. The details don't really matter here but it's worth knowing that average stock in the US market is priced around 10-20 times earnings. At Chipotle's height, it was trading at over 500 times earnings. For fucking hipster burritos. Literally insane.
It's still massively overpriced but is being propped up by big activist investors who keep throwing money at it in hopes of recovering their initial stake. Over 2017 they'll keep missing revenue and earnings estimates until the bar is set so low that even their shit product can turn around.
Traded at a higher multiple than apple and google and countless other companies that actually produce goods.
Also this; service at the stores in a lot slower because they're focusing more on food safety but people are still getting sick. In 10 or 20 years chipotle may recover as people forget (hey it happened for jack in the box and they literally killed people) but I'll be fucked if I'm sitting around waiting for it.
Noah Allen
>sue restaurant for giving you too much food dumb fatasses
Brayden Young
>average stock in the US market is priced around 10-20 times earnings. At Chipotle's height, it was trading at over 500 times earnings just another example while the whole stock market is a made up concept and should be banned for false advertising t. the 99%
Andrew Morgan
How could Chipotle fuck up a sign this badly? Unless this thing is the size of a taco bell burrito, that ain't happening.
Isaiah Turner
*why, not while
Mason Evans
whoops, should have been 3000 heehee
Hudson Martinez
Easy money and publicity.
One little mistake is all it takes in this world these days.
Nolan Brooks
Say what you will about it (I don't even disagree in some respects) but the US stock market is objectively the best way to passively build wealth as an average person.
Evan Myers
So, what you're saying is that we should all short Chipotle's stock?
Luke Stewart
If the market was actually logical and rational, sure. But since it's not maybe just don't touch the stock with a 10' pole.
Brody Perez
They are rushing to try and kickstart their business again. Too bad they suck at it.
"wow guys we have like 5 toppings you can choose from!"
Just look at their failure of a burger place, only cheeseburgers and hamburgers with limited toppings and shit quality
Easton Murphy
>Say what you will about it (I don't even disagree in some respects) but the US stock market is objectively the best way to passively build wealth as an already obscenely rich person while the everyday joes dump their life savings for peanuts

I need more calories
Ryder Lee

I need to deal with my roommate first on that
Jose Carter
Serves them right for not being disciplined and long-term thinkers.
Thomas Long
T. Average American who barely saves 5% of their income. Americans are hilariously financially illiterate.
Jordan Barnes
My family arrived as a bunch of poor as immigrant chinks. We're still immigrant chinks but thanks to hard work, pragmatic financial planning and conservative investment we are anything but poor now. Do you think you'll buy a penny stock and strike it rich overnight? I bet you think holding a share for 6 months is a long term investment.

Value of Chipotle at 700/share =/= value of Google at 700/share. Their market caps were never even close.
Isaac Cruz
kill yourself
Jacob Gutierrez
It was in LA. Odds are they wanted people to think it was a healthy alternative
Ryder Gray
:(
Josiah Garcia
there's no excuse for chipotles to even exist desu. they have no place in this world. they're lucky to have stayed around as long as they did. i want to kill all of you.
Samuel Johnson
Nice call didn't even bother to look at market caps.
Ayden Powell
>on Veeky Forums >complaining about no alternatives I forget sometimes that people on Veeky Forums don't actually cook, but are just foodies that pretend to know their shit, and shills that pander their fast food garbage.
Jordan Jackson
Dishonesty and greed ruin too many things.
Parker Gray
They're fucking enormous. About the thickness of a tennis ball can, and maybe half the length.
Eli Richardson
Should have just gotten a bean burrito from taco bell
Connor Nguyen
2 oz of chorizo is 300 calories. Even the cheapest and smallest tacos have at least 1.5 oz of meat. There is no way anyone who isn't a total idiot belived that this burrito had only 300 calories total.
Jacob Kelly
> Unless this thing is the size of a taco bell burrito, that ain't happening.
Even the lowest calorie burrito at tacobell has at least 20% more calories than that sign says.
Jose Cruz
Fuck those burritos look good. Wish we had Chipotles in England.
Carter Ortiz
They don't look anywhere close to that, the thing is heavily photoshopped
Benjamin Scott
>there are no alternatives
You mean for what? Bland burritos. I refuse to believe there are no other mexican restaurants where you live
Wyatt Jenkins
>if you don't know anything about finance
You do realize that every stock on NYSE or NASDAQ is overvalued and is easily swayed by speculation. Hence why it shouldn't be a surprise that Chipotle stock plummeted after the incident in Boston. Chipotle is easily the fastest growing food chain in America. It's literally become the next McDonald's, and look how profitable that turned out to be. In a few months, maybe longer, Chipotle stock will regain value.
By the way, it was a scare. After the Boston incident, Chipotle revenue also declined significantly, which is why they began a marketing campaign to regain sales by giving out coupons for free burritos.
Literally kys.
