Chipotle Customer Shocked by Bowl Costing $19.82

A TikTok of a Chipotle customer complaining about the high cost of his burrito bowl has gone viral, sparking another controversy about the fast-food chain restaurant.

In the video, posted Jan. 11 by Makenna Silbernagel (@berrymakenna), the TikToker ranted, “My Chipotle burrito bowl was only $19.82. Yes, I have guac, but that shouldn’t make it $19.82. That’s so much money for a bowl! What’s up?”

@berrymakenna is it just me, or did @Chipotle quadruple their prices overnight? What do you put in that shit to make it worth $20? #chipotle #overpriced #quickstory ♬ Original sound – Makenna Silbernagel • Fit

The video is accompanied by overlay text that reads, “Chipotle. I have questions,” and a caption in the video’s description reads, “Is it just me, or did @Chipotle quadruple their prices overnight. What do you put in that shit to make it worth $20? #chipotle #overpriced #quickstory?”

The video currently has over 492,200 views as of Friday. The comments section was filled with reactions from people who were also shocked by the high cost of the bowl and asked TikToker for more context.

One user said: “Here’s an idea. Did you say, “Sorry, how does that come to $19.82?” then either explain it or do ‘oops’ and give the correct sum.

Another added, “I bought one a few weeks ago and it was $9.”

A third commenter wrote: “We urgently need more information to make a call about this video. Please provide a breakdown of fees.”

While it’s not known exactly why the bowl was so expensive in this case, it certainly drew attention to the problem of high prices at fast-food chains. Whether Chipotle will respond to the viral video remains to be seen, but it’s certainly caused quite a stir among TikTok users and foodies alike.
