Anyone Else Get The Words “Reproductive Sex” on Their Chipotle Cup?

It's Kind Of Hard To Miss The Words "Reproductive Sex"

Chipotle has been in the news recently, and not because they have really tasty burrito bowls. No, they might have a little health problem, which might be good for them right now, because no one will be talking about the fact there cups have the words “reproductive sex” written on them.  

Surprisingly this isn’t one of those moments where you have to twist and turn and tilt your head a certain way to find a hidden word. There it is, right out in the open, the words “reproductive sex.” Apparently, it’s on purpose, and it’s all part of Chipotle’s "Cultivating Thought" cup series. The illustrator, James Gulliver Hancock, was inspired by something Anthony Doerr wrote:  

Tattoo Earth’s 4.5-billion-year timeline onto your arm, shoulder to fingertip, and your upper arm will get nothing but geologic mayhem: meteorites, magma, acid rain. Life won’t begin until your bicep, and from there to your wrist it’s all single-celled, oceangoing stuff. Reproductive sex won’t show up until your wristwatch, and creatures that are finally big enough to see—tubes and fronds and weird Precambrian plant-animals—will crisscross the back of your hand.  

For some, this probably doesn’t clear up why Chipotle has the words “reproductive sex” on the side of the cup. As for me, I don’t really care—I don’t typically get a drink at Chipotle, I usually get my burrito to go.
