Chipotle ‘healthcare heroes’:How nurses, health care workers can sign up for free burritos
One question that appears to be tripping people up is what was Chipotle’s float in the Rose Parade. According to Google Trends, this was a rising query Monday.
Chipotle first launched the game in August 2020, and 250,000 prizes were all given out less than four hours after the site went live.
There’s also a second way to win a prize from Chipotle. On Cinco de Mayo (Wednesday), Chipotle will give away five $500 Chipotle gift cards on its Instagram page for the last five fans to comment “last” on Chipotle’s Cinco de Mayo post before 5:55 p.m. ET.
Chipotle also is giving away 250,000 free burritos for nurses and health care workers who register while supplies last. Learn more here.
