Jack in the Box Giving Out Free Tacos Today

Jack in the Box’s mystery giveaway

Two dudes eat tacos at Jack in the Box.

Is it because of Obama’s birthday? Is it just because “Free Taco Tuesday” has a nice ring to it? Whatever the reason is — and they’re not telling — Jack in the Box is handing out free tacos today.

If you have had Jack in the Box tacos before, you know that they are as far from being Mexican food as you can get while still using a tortilla, but free food is free food — right?

Tempting trends

Giving a way free food has quickly become a widely used method for generating business. Of course, this promotional tool has been used since long before we were in a recession, but it appears to me to be more common now.

Of course, only businesses that can afford to give out free products can do this, otherwise they’d have to hand out payroll loans in place of their employee’s paychecks. But big chains like Jack in the Box don’t even flinch about handing out a few thousand free tacos.

Free food frenzy

Case in point, Jack in the Box isn’t the only place handing out free grub today. The other free food distributor today is Domino’s, though the pizza chain is only giving out free stuff in Washington, D.C.

To celebrate Obama’s birthday, Domino’s is giving out free Chocolate Lava Crunch Cake, a brand new menu item they chose to introduce on Obama’s birthday. All month long, anyone can get free cake with order of a BreadBowl Pasta. To sweeten the deal, everyone who can prove it’s their birthday can get a free piece of cake this month. ... click here to read the rest of the article titled "Jack in the Box Giving Out Free Tacos Today"
