Does everything these days have fucking chipotle in it?
I remember back when chipotle first gained mass exposure. It was in a Wendy's chicken sandwich. People were confused by this strange new word. At first they pronounced it chi-POLE-tay rather than chi-POTE-lay. Now you can't go five minutes without being bombarded by some new chipotle-flavored food. I think they make chipotle-flavored Pop-Tarts now.
And Jell-O.
Toothpaste?
How about beer?

I've had it in chocolate before;Dagoba bars. I'd give it a whirl in beer, but I don't have high hopes.
careful, dude, you're giving people with more capital than we've got ideas.
This sort of marketing is worse than when hollywood produces 10,000 penguin or orca movies on the success of one thing.
Wendy's wasn't the first. I ate Gerber Chipotle Baby Oatmeal was I was a toddler, sez my mom.
Chipotle is this decade's sun dried tomatoes. Ubiquitous.
Which, duh, if I'd actually read the title of this post.

I actually love chipotle, but yes, it's become a buzzword.
To Morris: the first chocolate, from the Aztecs, was a brew with chocolate and chili pepper.
You are still pronouncing it wrong Chris. It's actually French, and is
Chez-Pole-tey
There is a chili beer! It's brewed right here in my neck of the woods, er, desert.
I don't know what kind of peper, but here is a link:

I want to go on record as saying I have been a fan of chipotle for many, many years. Well before the McDonalds corporation opened a chain restaurant called Chipotle. But your point is well-taken.
Don't forget condoms.
"Chipotle" is this decade's "outrageous" and "extreme" all rolled up in one.
Not to mention, are we sure that they are using actual chipotle peppers? What if it turns out that the majority of these companies are using Anaheims or jalapenos?
