Chipotle Sued For Making Customers 'Too Full'

BOSTON (CBS) -- Chipotle has been advertising a new option to their simplistic menu: a chorizo burrito.

The burrito is a regular burrito that incorporates the new meat, a chicken and pork sausage mix, and at first glance, it's advertised to be just 300 calories.

This should've been met with skepticism because Chiptole + 300 calories just isn't a thing that exists in this world.

Three men in Los Angeles, at separate Chipotle locations, were overcome with excitement and couldn't wait to devour a healthy alternative from the popular chain, despite it containing literally everything that a regular burrito would include but just a different type of meat.

They each ate it all, and surprise, surprise, they were full after. Not just that their hunger was satiated, no, they were 'too full.'

So full that they've decided to sue Chipotle.

From a complaint filed in the Los Angeles County Superior Court, via LAist, one man "felt excessively full and realized that the burrito couldn't have been just 300 calories."

They're seeking unspecified damages as well as ensuring nothing like this happens again, by forcing Chipotle to stop using misleading information in advertisements.

Chipotle has tried to clear things up on social media, telling confused customers that only the chorizo itself adds up to 300 calories.
