Twofer Tuesday (Burrito Bonus & Tough Town)


Saw this on the DCist blog (it's a Washington, DC local interests blog -- AOL HQ is in the outer DC suburbs)  -- Chipotle (McDonalds's burrito-arm -- they make a pretty substantial burrito, though) is having a "Summer Soul-stice" special, where if you buy a burrito today (the summer solistice, as mentioned by Scalzi), save the receipt and it's good until Sunday for another burrito.

Like I said, it's a pretty substantial burrito -- between 800 and 1,000 calories a pop -- they don't give out nutritional info.

For more calorie-counting fun, check out http://www.cockeyed.com/science/food/food1.html -- Cockeyed.com isn't a blog, per se, but I see their stuff referenced on a lot of blogs; mostly because they do stuff like find out just how much is inside a can of shaving cream or replace the menus at TGIF.

Oh, and I almost forgot -- you know DC's a tough town when the police chief's car gets stolen.  -- Joe
