The internet was doing its thing\u2014taking a somewhat funny joke and running it hard into the ground. In this case, it was fake Spirit Halloween costume bags. Chipotle\u2019s social media manager hopped on the wave with a fake \u201cChipotle Fork\u201d bodysuit. Last year, the chain struck again, showing off a made-up Chipotle napkin costume.<\/p>\n<p>Now, both are becoming reality\u2014as well as additional costumes resembling a water cup, burrito (sorry\u2026 <em>Boorito<\/em>) wrapper, and to-go bag.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019re going to need some self confidence to wear them, though. All of the costumes are form-hugging spandex bodysuits.<\/p>\n<p>The costumes will go on sale Friday, Sept. 6 and retail for $40 each. Your best bet to get one is online at Spirit Halloween\u2019s website, though they will be available at brick-and-mortar stores in Chicago, Denver, Egg Harbor Township, N.J., Los Angeles, and New York.<\/p>\n<p>Chipotle has willed memes into reality before. Two years ago, the company rolled out a limited-edition lemonade-scented soy candle that looked like a Chipotle water cup, poking fun at customers who sneak more than water from the restaurant\u2019s beverage stations.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s hardly alone.
