Taco Bell is giving T-Mobile subscribers a free run for the border
A commercial run during yesterday's (yawn) Super Bowl brings some exciting news for T-Mobile subscribers. Free phones? Nope. 5G mobile service? Nah. A haircut for CEO John Legere? Not a chance. Free Tacos? Absolutely. The nation's third largest carrier is partnering up with Taco Bell to give T-Mobile customers a free taco every week. It's all part of T-Mobile Tuesdays, the weekly program that T-Mobile uses to thank its subscribers by giving them discounts and freebies.
T-Mobile says that the results of a survey it has taken show that for a free taco, 29% of Americans would get tackled by Patriot's Tight End Rob Gronkowski (although his tackling technique failed miserably against the Miami Dolphins' Kenyan Drake; just saying). 15% of Americans said that they would streak in Central Park for a free taco, and 12% would wrestle a skunk.
"Tacos and Tuesdays go to together like magenta and … well … everything. A giant stage like the Super Bowl deserves an announcement as big as Left Shark became, so we partnered with the biggest in the biz – Taco Bell – as an epic THANKS to the best customers in wireless!"-John Legere, CEO, T-Mobile
The T-Mobile Tuesdays program has been running since 2016 and the carrier has given away more than 186 million discounts, freebies and other deals. T-Mobile says that its customers are receiving up to $966 each via the T-Mobile Tuesdays app every year.
