IT'S SWIM SUIT SEASON!
And why am I telling you this, other than to depress you? I'm telling you this because many of our customers have told us that they've lost a lot of weight by eating at Cal Tort, and since this is the time of year when people worry about what they look like in a bathing suit (not you—you look great), I'd thought I'd share some tried and true Cal Tort weight loss tips with you. Ready?
Cal Tort Weight Loss Tips
Instead of eating your Cal Tort meal, throw it at passersby. (This is straight from the monkey weight loss handbook. I'm very in tune with the monkey community.)
Ask for your burrito to be made with light cheese or no cheese at all.
Eat your dinner with my kids; most of it will end up on the floor. (Hurry! I'm scheduling appointments now!)
# Order your burrito with easy sauce, extra salsa and lettuce.
Freeze your burrito and lick it until it's gone. (This is especially effective if you have an overweight tongue.)
Order one of our fabulous salads.
Instead of eating your salad, put it in your pocket. But you won't lose weight until you take your pants off.
Have your burrito made in a bowl instead of a tortilla.
Hop to the California Tortilla farthest from your home. (For most of you this will entail hopping to Florida. GO!)
There you have it, folks – tried and true weight loss tips. If you have a Cal Tort weight loss story of your own, please let us know. And congratulations!
POP TARTS A GO-GO
Believe it or not, on Wednesday, May 28th, we're celebrating our 14th annual Pop Tart Day. It's my absolute favorite promotion and if all goes as planned we'll be giving away close to 20,000 Pop Tarts that day; 19,996 more than we gave away on our first Pop Tart Day.
So come on by May 28th and experience the magic of a Brown Sugar Cinnamon Pop Tart—it doesn't get any better than that.
DAZZLE YOUR FRIENDS WITH YOUR POP TART KNOWLEDGE!
- 2 billion Pop Tarts are sold a year. If you exclude people who camp and us, it goes down to 17.
- Frosted Pop Tarts aren't vegetarian. Especially Frosted Pepperoni Pop Tarts. (Seriously, who knew?)
- "Go Tarts" were created in 2006 as a Pop Tart for "on the go consumption." This is obviously great news for people who eat their Pop Tarts with a knife and fork.
