Calling all Chipotle (and lemonade) lovers!

With the purchase of a candle, customers will receive a promo code for a free lemonade at Chipotle — just in time for National Lemonade Day of 2022.

Chipotle has acknowledged these "accidents" on Twitter for years — even manifesting a candle back in 2018.

One user wrote, "No joke, I have done this literally every single visit to Chipotle."
Another wrote, "Please someone buy me the lemonade-scented Chipotle candle."
Others simply said, "Guilty."
