Free taco!

I’m shocked at the free publicity for Taco Bell’s “Steal a Base, Steal a Taco” promotion (bold mine).

There has been at least one stolen base in every World Series matchup since 1990. When the first base is stolen, the unit of Yum Brands Inc, will announce a Tuesday afternoon when consumers will be able to walk into the chain’s participating 5,800 outlets and ask for a free taco. Anyone who walks into a participating outlet during the give-away period would be eligible for a free taco.

This is not a good deal. I’m just not shit-faced enough on a Tuesday afternoon to appreciate Taco Bell. Even when I’m drunk, Taco Bell is a last resort.

“Nothing else close by when you’re wasted? Go to Taco Bell.”

Hey, Taco Bell! Why haven’t you hired me, yet? I totally owned the drive-thru when I worked at McDonald’s in high school.

  1. a) i like t-bell . . . it’s delicious.

    b) if i remember correctly, mike jeffers owned the drive thru at mcd’s, not you. but it is entirely possible that taco bell has already given him a job.

  2. a) You were drunk or high when you wrote that.

    b) Nice try. On both counts.
