The Ouija board controversy
Chipotle’s official campaign copy — “The spirits have spoken: the iconic Chipotle Margarita is back for a good time, not a long time” — is paired with a promotional Instagram Reel showing a Ouija board End Time Headlines .
While Chipotle frames it as Halloween nostalgia, Christian creators and viewers on TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram have called it “open promotion of the occult” , with some declaring permanent boycotts End Time Headlines . Comments include “I’m never eating here again” and “This is awful, terrible choice for an ad” End Time Headlines .

This is a screen shot from the ad the nutjobs are complaining about. The woman in the ad uses tortilla chips on a ouija board to spell out MARGARITA.
Good grief.
I thought it just a Halloween theme.
Are they going to protest little girls trick or treating in witch costumes?
Most likely.
Why can't they just enjoy the chance to commandeer their kids' Reese cups like normal people?
Probably burn them at the steak, and then see if they float in the moat
I don't consider them "normal people", but, neither b i
Not at the steak (in all likelihood they are vegetarians!)
s j r ???
xqyzz?
They are going to burn them at th Steak???? (Or maybe burn them at the Filet o' Fish}???
I can say from personal experience in Fort Smith, Arkansas that yes, they will definitely protest little girls in witches costumes. And Harry Potter is a no-no, also.
I really loved the Harry Potter series. (Also, much earlier, the movie Bell, Book, and Candle.)
I truly am sick of these people. They have their "trunk or treats" in church parking lots and want kids dressed only as bible characters or super heroes. These people have no imagination and are unloading that shit onto their own children
And what about Christianity's use of Astrology to predict events?
(The . . . star in the East that guided them to the birthplace of Baby Jesus...???
I wouldn't be surprised if some folks consider "conventional" religions to be openly promoting the occult!
Reality today would be considered surreal just a few decades ago.
xqyzz?
They should be bitching about the shitty food, not the advertising. I used to like Chipotles... its gone way downhill since COVID.
I had no idea they served liquor, but then again I haven't been in one in almost a decade, aren't they under the McD's corporate umbrella?
I think that's only in a few places. McDonalds was an early investor, but if I remember right sold its shares decades ago.
I went there once, was not impressed and then never wanted to go again when they had a Hep A outbreak
People have way to much free time on their hands. Work weeks should be 48 hours, that might help the incessant whining some folks seem to do.
How do you know they aren't whining at work? Perhaps the work week should be 32 hours and these people would have more time to spend with family and be less cranky.
If they are whining at work they are already working less than 40 hours and should be fired, not rewarded with a 32 hour work week.
How will the next generation of emotionally stunted anti-woke manchildren fail upward if they are all fired?
How do you know they aren't whining at work?
There is more than one Chipotle that are not far from where I live.
What surprised me were the attitudes of the staff. Some were downright unfriendly, some were quite nice. I don't know what to make of these variations. (I assume they aren't well trained or there would be more consistancy,).
...and sent to the debtors prisons, and if they die they will lessen the burden on the populace while decreasing the surplus population. You are remarkably consistant.
should be fired, not rewarded with a 32 hour work week
and sent to the debtors prisons
Or better yet, perhaps with all the trouble they're causing they could be reported to ICE and deported!
That is a good suggestion
I'm down for 32 hours a week as long as I keep the same salary.
But I will be retired in less than a year so blowhards that advocate for 48 hours a week can kiss my ass
America will eventually adapt to a 32 hour work week, but most likely not while I'm still working. I'm 60 now.
48 hour work week is a terrible suggestion.
Actually there's a small group of people who are into "The Occult" who might be offended by Ouija boards. Many use various paraphrenalia for divination: Ouija boards, Tarot cards, Dousing Pendulums, Astrology charts, Runes, Crystal Balls, etc. But the theory is that these devices are all neutral.
With one exception. Even people who believe in this stuff often feel that Ouija Boards (unlike all these other "tools") are inherently uniquely negative. I've never been able to figure out why.
And being a very curious person I've spent years studying these things . . .
