Buy The Dip is the name of a new interactive game from [Chipotle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flexa-platform) that gives players the opportunity to use their crypto to purchase real food at Chipotle. With this new game, Chipotle is giving away more than $200,000 in free crypto, as well as promotional codes for one-cent guac and one-cent [Queso Blanco](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/extra-sunday) through July 31, also known as National Avocado Day.

Fans will have their chance to win free Bitcoin, Ethereum, Avalanche, Solana or [Dogecoin](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/free-cryptocurrency) via Buy The Dip and this limited-time game highlights the fact that Chipotle now accepts digital currency (including cryptocurrency) thanks to a nationwide partnership with Flexa. With a Flexa-enabled app, customers can use 98 different digital currencies, including the ones that are being given away for free in the game.
