TikTok is rife with users accusing different companies of not providing quality food. Earlier this year, a TikToker claimed to have found mold in a popular Starbucks menu item. A mom told media outlets recently that she allegedly found a “slightly moist” cigarette in a Taco Bell meal she bought for her 1-year-old daughter.

Now, TikTok user Tori Kinley is coming forward to claim that she bit into something “crunchy” twice while eating her usual Chipotle order, alleging that the second time, she actually spat out part of a bug.
“I used to eat at Chipotle all the time — one of my favorite restaurants! — I’m never eating there again,” Kinley says in the video. “I was eating my burrito, and I bit into something crunchy, and I was like, ‘Oh, interesting’ and I spit it out thinking it was, like, crunchy corn … But then a couple of bites later, I ate something else that was crunchy, and I spit it out and I spit out a cockroach leg.“
Kinley claimed she also spat out part of a bug’s body and that she called Poison Control, which confirmed that eating a cockroach wasn’t fatal. She then took the remains of her meal back to the Chipotle from which she had ordered.
“Chipotle didn’t do anything,” she claimed in a follow-up video. “However, the cockroach had shriveled up by then — it didn’t even look like a cockroach — and it just dawned on me, I ate a live cockroach.”
It’s true that if you eat a cockroach, you’ll live, but it’s likely you’ll get sick given how much bacteria is found on cockroaches. Fortunately, Kinley said that she never got sick and realized that it might not have been a cockroach after all.
“[It’s] not a cockroach, according to my biologist friends, but instead a beetle,” she explained in another TikTok. “They said the leg was too big to be a cockroach. Apparently, cockroaches taste like shrimp, whereas beetles are bitter, and what I ate was very bitter.”
Kinley’s videos collectively racked up over 1 million views. About a month after posting her first video, she followed up with curious viewers once again to say that a representative from Chipotle finally called her and offered her three free entrees.
“I feel like that’s not enough for my trauma,” she joked in the comments.
Kinley added that she hasn’t been to Chipotle since the incident and wasn’t necessarily thrilled about getting free meals there.
Commenters were 100% on Kinley’s side, with many impressed that she didn’t get sick.
“Literally would’ve [thrown] up,” someone wrote. “I’d be scared to eat out again.”
“I was just considering getting Chipotle for dinner, which I never do, and then this video popped up,” another added. “LMAO nevermind.”
“This terrified me,” a commenter said. “I never want to experience this.”
