What the hell does that have to do with selling burritos?

I've been meaning to try it someday but that certainly doesn't want to make me run out any time soon....

it's a PR campaign...they are still reeling from all the food scares of last 12 months.

At this point, I don't mind when artists sell their songs for advertisements.  When I hear Spoon's 'You Got Yr Cherry Bomb' in a Dr. Pepper commercial, I'm happy.  With how the music industry has changed the past few years, when a band I love gets a chance to make money, I'm happy for them.

And at times, licensing a song or two for a commercial is a tradeoff bands / artists have to make.  Robert Smith of The Cure had to license 'Pictures Of You' for an Australian commercial in exchange for the label releasing the Connect The Dots b-side compilation.
