Fast casual restaurants like Chipotle are becoming more and more popular as the years go by. For a myriad of reasons, consumer seem to be prefering slightly more high end food than has been the norm in years past, as Chipotle, Panera Bread, and others begin to soak up more and more marketshare seemingly everyday.

And that popularity has inspired some seriously intense fans of the Chipotle brand. Take for instance, Andrew Hawryluk, a 23 year old man who recently completed a 153 DAY LONG STREAK of eating Chipotle everyday. His meal of choice? Chicken burrito bowl.

And he has the receipts to prove it. (Via Business Insider)

As noted on Mr Hawryluk’s blog, the entire ordeal (likely not the right word) began on the first day of Lent this year, when he gave up eating everything that WASN’T Chipotle for the 40 day span preceding Easter. However, he found the entire thing so enjoyable, that he kept it going for an astounding 113 days more. His thoughts on the whole thing? “If anything, my appreciation for Chipotle has only increased,” he’s been quoted as saying.

Root Beer Beer has finally arrived, law suits from concerned parents sure to follow soon

Making a root beer float with a solid 5.9% alcohol rating had never crossed our minds before. Until recently, that is.

And that thought crossed our minds precisely because a product that we also never would have thought up (but wish we had) now finally exists: root beer beer. That second beer isn’t a typo, dear reader, this beer actually tastes exactly like a really good root beer (not some diet A & W crap), and packs in about 6% percent alcohol. Indeed, using a combination of spices, and likely some sort of gypsy magic, a brewery in Illinois has created a lager that tastes exactly like root beer.

That’s the stuff.

‘Not Your Father’s Root Beer’, made by Illinois based Small Town Brewery, is officially taking the country by storm. It’s such a hit in fact, that the company totaled over $7 million in sales last year, putting them in the top 30 for craft breweries in terms of revenue. And anecdotally at least, we can honestly say that stores are having a hard time keeping this stuff on the shelves.

Definitely keep an eye out for this stuff next time you’re picking up a six pack, even if they are so sugary you can only drink like, 3, tops.
