But it comes at a price.November 20, 2006 - Taco Bell is trying to do a good deed. The first person who agrees to give up their PlayStation 3 to Taco Bell will get the equivalent of tacos for life. Your console (should you choose to donate it) won't go to a Taco Bell manager. Instead, the Bell is giving the PS3 to the Boys & Girls Club.
"The PlayStation 3 is on every teen's holiday wish list," said Bob Fulmer, Executive Director, Taco Bell Foundation. "That's why we're offering one lucky individual tacos for life in exchange for giving Boys & Girls Club teens a gift that will keep them in the game."
Should you trade your PS3 for $12,500 in Taco Bell Bucks? Here's a simple questionnaire to help you determine which luxury item (a game system or tacos) better suits your lifestyle:
- You just wanted the thrill of standing in line for 36 hours and find playing PS3 is anticlimactic
- Every time you see a Chihuahua your stomach grumbles.
- You plan on living large (literally)
- You have a kind heart...
- ...and you would like to see it explode with a one-day Taco Bell binge
If you answered in the affirmative to all of the above, you are clearly better off with a lifetime supply of Taco Bell's tasty products. If interested, send your name, email address and phone number to tacobellnews@tacobell.com. The offer expires December 1, 2006. It's first come, first served, so if you want to make the ultimate holiday sacrifice (and get some free tacos in the process), email sooner rather than later.

Indeed. I'd spend the rest of my life eating Chicken Quesadillas, Cheesy Gordita Crunches, and Beef and Spicy Chicken Crunchwrap Supremes.

Hey, it's a pretty neat way to suicide - first get a shit job, then spend the money in a shitty console, then donate the console so you know people will have shitty memories of the shitty system and then suicide by overdose of trash food. Now this is some quality self-destruction.

That sounds like a prison sentence...
Judge: 'We the Jury find the the Defendant guilty of cheating on his DS with the PSP.' You are hereby sentenced to Taco Bell for Life. May God have mercy on your heart and cholesterol.
Defendant: NO! Please, have mercy, I beg of you!

How can they decide that $12,500 is enough money for a lifetime supply of food?
I could dispense of that $12,500 very rapidly.

It says "Taco Bell Bucks" Which suggests that you get fake money that only applies to Taco Bell. More than likely you get a gift card type affair. And, lets face it, unless you have pot heads for friends, you're not likely to get any group of people there often enough to use up the whole $12,500 any time soon. And, I bet, after a while, you will be BEGGING people to come and help you spend it. "My God! If I have to eat one more burrito... I have TACOS DANCING IN MY BRAIN!! MAKE IT STOP!!" |

Dude, $12,500 would last _maybe_ 5 years. Also, could what if I got fat from all the free tacos, and sued them? |

Well, I suppose it should be noted that I eat at Taco Bell about once every two or three months, and then only when I have the inexplicable urge to cause my body much pain and suffering. Sometimes I go to White Castle instead.
Either way, it would last me much longer than five years.. I think it would definitely be good for life.
Personally, I would stick with the PS3. Or better yet, eat the PS3, because, really, in the long run, it both tastes better and is better for you than anything from Taco Bell.

If I actually liked Tacos, this would be the greatest deal ever. Unfortunately my taste is in more American-style food.

Alright, so lets think this over. I plan on living quite a while, but odds are I won't be planning on having too much Taco Bell past say 40. So that's 20 years. Each year, there's probably 6 months a year where Taco Bell is kinda in season for me, say when its warm out. When it's cold, you don't want Taco Bell. Just a really bad idea for reasons I won't go into. Anyway, for each one of these months, say I go to Taco Bell once a week. Maybe a slight overestimate, but this'll be a Taco-friendly overcalculation. Maybe I like the feeling of knowing my intestines are good and cleaned out every week. Anyway, we figure 4 weeks per month, so 4 trips to Taco Bell a month. Now, generally I don't spend too much more than 6 bucks at Taco Bell (Cinnamon Twists and a few Tacos and maybe a drink), but maybe with my 10 bajillion Taco bucks I spend a whopping average of $10. I can't think of too much to buy at Taco Bell that I actually want to eat, so I think anymore than $10 a trip would be pushing it.
So we have $10 a trip * 4 trips a month * 6 months a year * 20 years = $4800. That's the maximum value I could possibly get from this. So, can I sell a PS3 for more than this on eBay? Probably.
Factoring in inflation, my Taco Bell bucks'll be pretty worthless 20 years down the road anyway when a soft taco costs $30.
However, maybe somebody who is really into their tacos will take them up on it.
