It appears that Chipotle’s Twitter account has been hacked, with the restaurant chain tweeting out seemingly odd messages including “Do I have a tweet?” as well as “Hi sweetie, can you please pick up some lime, salt, and onions? twitter.”

The chain started posting odd messages at around 1 p.m. on Sunday after an approximately 15 hour layoff.

The first purportedly compromised message it sent was simply “twitter,” which was retweeted more than 700 times by the company’s 200,000 followers. It’s next message was “Twitter,” also retweeted more than 500 times.

There were around 20 more similar messages posted on the account within the next hour. “Find avocado store in Arvada, Colorado,” reads one of the more odd tweets. “Mittens13 password leave,” it tweeted some time later.

The account also said it “Hit send too soon!”

The manager of Chipotle’s account, Joe Stupp, later posted that “sorry all. We had a little problem with our account. But everything is back on track now! - Joe.” 

He added: “Please return to your usual #chipotle love and thanks for your patience with us today. - Joe.”
