Taco Bell to send free "breakfast phones" to regular customers to call/text about offers & when brea - Polidicks

[url]http://mashable.com/2014/03/19/taco-bell-breakfast-phones/[/url] [quote]Last year Taco Bell made a splash for its Beefy Crunch Burrito relaunch by becoming one of the then-few brands to join Snapchat. So what does the fast food brand have in mind for its breakfast introduction? Feature phones. The brand is in the process of mailing out about 1,000 Samsung T404G phones from HipCricket to superfans and influencers. Recipients of the "Breakfast Phones" will be given various missions to complete in the hopes of winning prizes including a Waffle Taco button-down shirt or hoodie, a set of A.M. Crunchwrap sheets with hashbrown pajamas and free Taco Bell breakfast for a year. The company is mum about the exact missions because it doesn't want to give them away beforehand. The phones began hitting some fans on March 19. SEE ALSO: How Taco Bell Is Exploiting Snapchat Stories The program, created by DigitasLBi in San Francisco, supports the national launch of Taco Bell Breakfast on March 27. "We just wanted to do something that would be really personal," says Tressie Lieberman, director, digital marketing and platforms. "We're calling them every day. You never know when the phone will ring." Taco Bell identified the superfans by their activity in social media and their fealty to the brand.[/quote] [img]http://distilleryimage6.ak.instagram.com/380582eeaeef11e3907f1214fb674332_8.jpg[/img]

[QUOTE]The brand is in the process of mailing out about 1,000 Samsung T404G phones from HipCricket to [B]superfans and influencers.[/B][/QUOTE] So they are basically going to send a bunch of Stoners on cool secret agent missions for hoodies and pajamas. I don't have words to describe how totally dope that is man.

I want bed sheets with hash browns on them.

Yes I clearly want the shits after I eat breakfast. Thank you Taco Bell.

[QUOTE=Gnorm57;44295248]Yes I clearly want the shits after I eat breakfast. Thank you Taco Bell.[/QUOTE] More room for lunch.

I can only see someone who is unbelievably fat using this.

[QUOTE=solid_jake;44295303]Eventually you'll have an iron asshole.[/QUOTE] Not even iron can survive the acid shits.

How fitting, my drug dealer is literally doing the same thing for people who do deliveries for him. Buying each of them a phone so they're contactable :v

[QUOTE=Gnorm57;44295248]Yes I clearly want the shits after I eat breakfast. Thank you Taco Bell.[/QUOTE] Who honestly gets messy shits after eating Taco Bell? I know I don't. If their entire customer base got mud butt all the time, they wouldn't be nearly as popular.

[QUOTE=J!NX;44295294]I can only see someone who is unbelievably fat using this.[/QUOTE] Are you kidding? I weigh 135lbs and I'd love this. Win free breakfast for a year? There's a Taco Bell at the top of the hill right above my house, it's less than five minutes' walk. With the amount of food I can put away, I'd save a ton of money with that.

that is literally my old phone i feel the shame [editline]19th March 2014[/editline] speaking of which have a pic of the fiery death i gave it two weeks ago [thumb]http://i.imgur.com/sDNLJY7.jpg[/thumb]

why would anyone eat at Tacobell? like do Mexican restaurants not exist in states that don't have a large Mexican-American population? I ask cause I dunno, I've lived in California all my life and only left the state on visits a few times like once to Arizona when I was like 5 and maybe like ~10 times to Mexico.

They exist, but Taco bell is [I]everywhere[/I], every mall food court I've ever been to, hell, a lot are now part of KFC. Taco Bell is also disgustingly cheap.

Kind of like how what is referred to as "chinese food" isn't actually chinese at all here in the states.

Everything out here is shitty South American food billed as "Authentic Mexican Cuisine" and everyone seems to love the nasty crap. My family's only saving grace is a little place we found in the city about 45 minutes away owned by a guy from Compton. Before that it was Taco Bell.

They should start on 4/20 instead

taco bell breakfast will be amazing

[QUOTE=zakedodead;44295586]Don't think of taco bell as mexican food, just think of it as vaguely appealing and cheap[/QUOTE] I think of Taco Bell as food that doesn't suck like Mcdonalds. Taco Bell is amazing for some good cheap food. The happy hours thing is great to pick up some food without paying almost as much as a god damn sit down restaurant for some incredibly bland food.

Haha wow I am glad someone posted this very unimportant story. I was one of several people packaging those phones as of last week: [IMG_thumb]http://i.imgur.com/u3QpgEy.jpg[/IMG_thumb] It was very strange to do, but I thought the idea was pretty funny so I snapped a picture of one of the phones.

I will die eternally happy if they bring back the Beefy Crunch Burrito permanently, I don't think any of you realize just how impactful this is.

Interesting information! I have tried Doritos Locos and I have to admit, it was great! Apparently, the term “job creators” does get flung around, doesn't it? Usually, silver-spoon executives with fake tans claim to be them, but anything can be one - like a taco. Not kidding on that one, as [URL="http://personalmoneynetwork.com/moneyblog/2013/03/16/doritos-locos/"]Taco Bell[/URL] had to hire 15,000 additional people because of the Doritos Locos line of tacos.
