Let’s talk-o bout deals: what to make of Taco Bell pass

Taco Bell’s new Taco Lover’s Pass has been all the craze in the fast food industry these last few weeks.

The pass gives people the opportunity to get one free taco every day for a monthly charge of $10. That means that a user would have to eat 10 tacos in the month to get your money’s worth.

Although with plenty of doubtful people all over social media, it seems like many Hutchinson Community College students are willing to try the pass, more for financial reasons

“I would buy it because it’s worth it” said Jennifer Flores-Mendoza . “As a broke college kid, a taco can do a lot for me when I desperately need it”.

Depending on how much one might adore Taco Bell’s tacos, this could be the absolute best thing since sliced bread to the average fast-food consumer.

However this isn’t just some wacky idea produced from Taco Bell just to get attention. time and time again, fast food companies such as McDonald’s, Arby’s and Sonic do social-media based deals to connect to an even bigger audience.

It’s not all positive though.

“The only downside would be, because of the promotion, the drive through and the overall time it would take to get the taco would be very long,” said Christyn Howard.

It also begs some other questions, such as how many or how long you can eat tacos without getting tired of them.

To get the taco pass, users need to download the Taco Bell app on their smartphone. Several different tacos are eligible for the daily freebie, including the Crunchy Taco, Crunchy Taco Supreme, Soft Taco, Soft Taco Supreme, Doritos Locos Taco, Doritos Locos Taco Supreme, and Spicy Potato Soft Taco.
