    Taco Bell is selling a $10 monthly taco subscription...

    Taco Bell is rolling out what's arguably the tastiest subscription service yet: daily tacos. For $10 a month, Taco Bell customers can get one taco per day for 30 consecutive days. The national program, called Taco Lover's Pass, is available to purchase beginning Thursday for members of its rewards program and have downloaded the Taco Bell app.

    Not for us, we don't drive by a Taco Bell more than two or three times a week.

    Besides, the closest T Bell is about 15 miles out of the way we normally drive.

    Obviously not everyone who buys the pass will bother to go every day. And many who do go will buy something else, maybe just a drink, while they're there. On top of all that, I did a little research and it is estimated that Taco Bell's cost, in food and paper, to make a single taco is about 31 cents. There is literally no way they can lose money on the deal.

    Who would drive to Taco Bell for one Taco a day?

    What am I supposed to do with one taco? That's just a tease. Obviously, this is to lure you into the store more often. I bet a lot of window lickers fall for this $#@!.

    I don't understand the animosity against this. Its not a joe biden mandate, either buy it or don't. I like taco's but not every day so I probably wouldn't go for the deal. But why get all worked up by a promotion by Taco Bell.

    Nobody's "worked up" over it - it's just another business promotion that can be seen as either shrewd or silly...or maybe a little of both.

    I see at least one poster who thinks anyone who "falls" for the promotion is a "window licker" what ever that means.
