TwitterFacebook

Baseball fans and fast-food lovers alike can celebrate for one tasty reason: Free tacos.

In keeping with its long-running World Series tradition, Taco Bell will give away free Doritos Locos Tacos if a base is stolen by either team during a game. Thanks to Boston Red Sox player Mookie Betts — who stole a base during Tuesday’s game versus the Los Angeles Dodgers — the entire U.S. now has access to free tacos.

It happened! A base was stolen in the #WorldSeries and that means all of America gets to steal a free Doritos® Locos Tacos. See terms: https://t.co/0Q1e2acrit #StealATaco pic.twitter.com/1i21Jukplz

Ah, SPORTS! Gotta love ’em, am I right? Especially when they get you FREE TACOS!

On Wednesday, participating Taco Bell locations will be giving out free Doritos Locos Tacos as part of a “Steal a Game, Steal a Taco” campaign.

We all have the Golden State Warriors to thank for this one-day-only gift, because they “stole” Game 3 of the NBA Finals from the Cleveland Cavilers on their home court last week.

“The Golden State Warriors just stole a road game in the NBA Finals. That means free Doritos Locos Tacos for America,” Taco Bell tweeted on June 6. Read more…

Trio of bears have a fun night out at Taco Bell until the cops show up

TwitterFacebook

There’s nothing like heading to Taco Bell for a cheesy stuffed burrito after a fun night out with your crew, whether you’re a human or a bear.

A trio of California bears took an opportunity to grab a Fourth Meal™ after dark but unfortunately their fun was cut short when a sheriff spotted the mischievous bunch and chased them out of the area.

They probably just wanted one of those Doritos tacos. 

In the video, the sheriff asks “What are you guys doing?” and soon one of them begins to make a run for it prompting the others to haul ass as if they knew the fuzz was right on their tail. Read more…
