Crazy: A Chicago man went on Kickstarter to start a fundraising campaign for an $8 burrito at Chipotle.
Crazier: He got eight bucks to buy a burrito at Chipotle.
Craziest: He has now raised more than $650 from at least 170 backers.
To some, Noboru Bitoy’s ability to raise over $650 on Kickstarter to feed his appetite makes him a genius. To others, he’s just another asshole who took a great idea meant to help struggling artists and project managers and abused it.
According to UPI, Bitoy originally offered his services to “test the burrito to see how tasty it was.” Using a scale of “No” to “Wow,” Bitoy eventually gave the first burrito a “Yum!”
Bitoy is now “testing” the burrito to see how it tastes as a leftover meal as well as trying 24 variations of the Chipotle Chicken Burrito. He also claims he will jump out of a plane and eat the burrito while skydiving if he raises even more money.
Meanwhile, the homeless dude freezing his ass off outside of McDonald’s can’t scrape up enough to buy a McChicken.
