Waxman](https://time.com/author/olivia-b-waxman/)  ## Olivia B. Waxman Staff Writer Oct 5, 2015 2:36 PM UTC Chipotle to Offer $3 Burritos on Halloween  by [Olivia B. Waxman](https://time.com/author/olivia-b-waxman/)  ## Olivia B. Waxman Staff Writer Oct 5, 2015 2:36 PM UTC Every Halloween, Chipotle has [offered](http://time.com/money/3550938/halloween-freebies-food-deals/) either $2 or $3 burritos to customers who show up in costumes, from 5:00 p.m. to close. This year, patrons can get a burrito for $3 if they show up wearing an “unnecessary addition” to their costumes. The website suggests examples like wearing a beard with a fairy costume or a ballet tutu with a vampire costume. The promotion symbolizes the company’s stand against unnecessary additives and preservatives in foods, [nearly six months after](http://time.com/3836356/chipotle-genetically-modified-food-gmo/) it became the first major restaurant chain to announce it had removed genetically modified ingredients from its entire menu. While the promotion may just sound like an annual excuse to make the extremely corny pun “boo-rito,” the company has good intentions. Chipotle is pledging to put aside up to $1 million from the proceeds for its foundation, which promotes food literacy and sustainable farm practices. _Read next:_ [_These Charts Show Every Genetically Modified Food People Already Eat in the U.S._](http://These Charts Show Every Genetically Modified Food People Already Eat in the U.S.) ## Transcript [00:01] You're watching ever well, know more, live better.. [00:04] [ MUSIC ] [00:20] I've always heard that if you eat late at night, it turns to [00:23] fat, and I don't want that to happen. So I try not to eat [00:27] after seven. Weight loss plans often have all kinds [00:31] of rules to remember. One we hear all the time is [00:34] never eat past eight pm If you work late like me, or [00:38] have a hectic schedule, that advice can be hard to [00:41] swallow. But the latest research suggests, you may not [00:44] have to. [ MUSIC ] A study involving [00:48] female monkeys found that eating at night is not [00:51] associated with weight gain. Ditto for surveys of [00:54] humans which have turned up no link to nighttime [00:57] meals and weight gain or obesity. The theory behind [01:01] the advice is that our metabolism slows down during [01:04] sleep, so calories consumed late in the evening aren't [01:06] burned as readily. While that may be true, our bodies [01:10] do continue to burn calories while we sleep. [ MUSIC ] [01:14] More important than when we eat is how much we eat. [01:17] In studies where late night eating was tied to weight [01:19] gain... People often snacked, or ate additional meals [01:23] at night. Obviously chowing down on pizza or ice [01:26] cream all night can lead to extra pounds. But the [01:29] reason is the calories, not the clock. There [01:33] is one instance where the timing of meals does matter. [01:36] Studies show that skipping breakfast is associated with [01:39] weight gain. So start eating early and stop after dinner. [01:43] That's timeless advice that can benefit us all. [ MUSIC ] [01:46] Helping you be a healthy skeptic, I'm Robert Davis. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4061146/chipotle-boorito-2015-3dollar-halloween-discount/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4061146/chipotle-boorito-2015-3dollar-halloween-discount/"},"headline":"How to Score a $3 Chipotle Burrito on Halloween","datePublished":"2015-10-05T14:36:26.000Z","dateModified":"2026-10-05T08:32:26.020Z","description":"If your costume meets the chain's requirements","url":"https://time.com/4061146/chipotle-boorito-2015-3dollar-halloween-discount/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Food & Drink"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltedde78338cca1646/698866daab6d77b5d16a684d/chipotle-boorito.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Olivia B.
