Yesterday, February 3rd, America watched Maroon 5 take over the Super Bowl LIII Halftime Show with help from Travis Scott and Big Boi. Halfway through their set, Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine disrobed and revealed his tatted abs. Some love it, some rolled their eyes, and some made snide (but valid) “hmm do we remember the ’04 Janet Jackson Super Bowl ~controversy~?” comments.
However, one Twitter user drew a comparison between Levine’s bod and a Chipotle bag, and we don’t think we’ll ever look at Levine the same way again.
“Adam Levine with his shirt off looks like a Chipotle bag,” a Twitter user who goes by Paige tweeted. And honestly, they’re not wrong. In fact, since posting the tweet yesterday, Paige has gotten over 9,700 likes and over 66,000 retweets. We’re all kind of in agreement with this.
The black and gray tattoos scattered about Levine’s tan-ish skin are oddly reminiscent of the doodled-covered bag that transports our butrito bowls. We hate to say it, but we’re at a payphone, trying to call home, to spread the word that Levine and the Chipotle paper bag share an aesthetic.
It’s not a bad thing, Adam! Everyone loves Chipotle… and their paper bags. It’s kind of a cute comparison. We think.

Once you see it, you can’t unsee it. Are those just beans tattooed all over his chest or…?

Don’t laugh. Don’t laugh!
Yeah, don’t try. You won’t be able to.

Wow. It’s kind of hard to tell the difference.

Someone had to say it. We’re glad Paige had the guts.

All of the sudden, everything makes sense now. Our love for Chipotle has been explained.
I was wondering why my girlfriend liked it!

Chipotle even gave Paige’s tweet a retweet. But the real question is — will Adam?

Some argue that Levine looks less like a Chipotle bag and more like a comic book villain. Yeah, we see that, too.

A lot of us were just glad that shirt came off because, um, it wasn’t pretty. Sorry!
The best part of the Superbowel half time show was Adam Levine taking his shirt off. Not because of the fact that he was shirtless but because that shirt was fucking hideous.

But also, we’re still a little peeved about the double standard. Ahem, we’ll say it again — Janet Jackson in ’04, people!

So Adam Levine can perform shirtless but Janet Jackson can’t? This is so very wrong haha. #PepsiHalftime

If you missed the Maroon 5 Halftime Show featuring Travis Scott and Big Boi, check it out below. Keep your eyes peeled for a pretty rad Spongebob meme.

Listen, there are worse things Levine could be compared to. He should be honored to be compared to a Chipotle bag, right?
