UPDATE: Chipotle's Cilantro Soap is sold out, according to the Chipotle Goods website. See below for the Chipotle Rewards deal that ends Dec. 8 for select loyalty members.

Chipotle’s latest product has cilantro in it, but you can't eat it and won't find it for sale at restaurants.

The fast-casual chain announced Thursday that it is selling “Cilantro Soap” for $8 a bar online at Chipotlegoods.com, while supplies last.

“Made with real ingredients, this 100% real soap bar is the perfect gift for cilantro lovers and haters alike,” according to the Chipotle Goods website. “Just make sure they don’t eat it.”

Chipotle hinted at the cilantro soap in August when it posted a mock package on Instagram, which garnered more than 22,500 likes. The chain says this inspired “the launch of the real soap to delight super fans and amplify the conversation.”

Chipotle said the fresh green herb is in many of its menu items and is one of the most debated ingredients among fans on social media.

A moment of silence for the people who think cilantro tastes like soap.

In a news release about the soap launch, the chain said roughly 4 to 14% of the population is “genetically wired to experience a soapy flavor when they eat cilantro.”

Cilantro already tastes like soap to me I would rather not smell like it either 😭

Ingredients in the soap include "saponified organic oils (olive, coconut, flaxseed, shea), coriander essential oil, chlorella powder."

Chipotle also said the soap is available for holiday shopping along with new items in the restaurant-branded apparel line, which is dyed with upcycled avocado pits from restaurants. The Chipotle Goods line debuted in August 2020.

All profits from the Chipotle Goods collection go toward supporting organizations focused on making fashion or farming more sustainable, Chipotle said.

Chipotle’s new Cilantro Soap is only available online.

GLOBAL MARKETS-Stocks gear up for Big Tech earnings; yen sits near danger zone
Global shares rose on Tuesday, driven by a recovery on Wall Street, where investors focus on earnings reports from the U.S. megacaps, while the yen hit a new 34-year low against the dollar, prompting a warning from Japanese officials. Adding to the optimism was a series of surveys of business activity that showed Germany returned to growth in early April after months of contraction, while activity in the broader euro zone expanded at its fastest clip in nearly a year. Investors are less concerned right now about the threat of a major re-escalation of tension in the Middle East and more focused on earnings.

Shortages key to copper's upward price trajectory to new peaks
Upward momentum that has propelled copper prices to within a whisker of the psychological $10,000 a metric ton mark is expected to be sustained by the appearance of shortages over the coming months. Copper prices have recently been bolstered by expectations of tight supplies and optimism about demand prospects from energy transition applications such as electric vehicles and new technology such as artificial intelligence and automation. A pick-up in manufacturing activity, particularly in top consumer China where surveys of purchasing managers have started to show expansion has also contributed to enthusiasm for copper which this week hit a two-year peak at $9,988 a ton for a gain of 25% since early October.
