Some gamers will be torn between two loves, as fast food chain Taco Bell wants to give one gamer free tacos for life… in exchange for a new PlayStation 3.
In perhaps the best offer since The Simpsons’ “hundred tacos for a hundred dollars” deal, Taco Bell will reward $12,500 in Taco Bell Bucks to the first person who trades in his or her PS3 to the Mexican-style fast food chain.
But this isn’t just about some taco tycoon snagging a hard-to-find PS3. Taco Bell and Taco Bell Foundation intend on giving the PS3 to the Stanton, California teen center of the Boys & Girls Club.
The first one to send his or her name, e-mail and phone number to
tacobellnews@tacobell.com about the offer will receive the Taco Bell Bucks, which are redeemable at store locations. The restaurant did warn that whoever receives the Bucks is responsible for payment of any taxes that would be incurred.
“The PlayStation 3 is on every teen’s holiday wish list,” said Bob Fulmer, executive director of the non-profit 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.”
The offer expires December 1 at 6 p.m. PST.
And for those curious, $12,500 will get you around 20,000 of Taco Bell's basic tacos, or about a taco a day for the next 54 years.
