Free food alert?

#1 Post by Bob78164 » Thu Oct 23, 2008 12:58 pm

Apparently, because a stolen base occurred in the fifth inning of yesterday's World Series game, everyone in American can claim a free taco at Taco Bell on October 28 between 2:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. local time. I didn't catch the broadcast myself, but Baseball Prospectus is usually pretty reliable. --Bob

IIRC Taco Bell did this last year, too. There was even their logo on the bases. How you would steal first remains a mystery.
I just ordered chicken and an egg from Amazon. I'll let you know.

It's all his fault. That'll be $10.

Enough already. It's my fault! Get over it!

That'll be $10, please.

Free ice cream at Ben & Jerry's scoop shops too - on election day, if you tell them you voted. I don't remember if there were specific hours or if it was all day, I got the email a week or two ago.

Wasn't it Taco Bell that put a big "X" in the ocean and promised a taco to everyone in America/world if Skylab hit the mark?

Well, Mir, but yes.

Of course, Taco Bell makes use of the "meat tube." I don't go to Taco Bell these days.

I personally prefer Del Taco, but if the Tacos are free, I will go to Taco Bell.

Same here. We really like the crispy fish tacos, and their crinkle fries are great.
