Some people think cilantro is delicious. To others it tastes like soap. And now Chipotle is bringing both sides together.

Cilantro has been one of Chipotle's most polarizing ingredients, and the company has a clear stance on the debate.

In other holiday Chipotle news, the company also recently launched clothing dyed with upcycled avocado pits from its restaurants, which produce over 300 million avocado pits a year. A crewneck sweatshirt costs $47 while a $14 onesie can outfit the chain's smallest fans.
The company has also made changes to its menu this year. It's testing pollo asado in Cincinnati, Ohio, and Sacramento, California, the first time it has experimented with its chicken in nearly 30 years. Chipotle also added smoked brisket to US menus, but that item is so popular it's leaving restaurants earlier than planned.
