Remember the good old days when tacos meant death?

AdFreak’s been following the Taco Bell free taco for a stolen base promotion, but it got me thinking how their PR people might deserve a raise. Less than 10 months ago, people were avoiding the Bell like a syringe on the floor at a Kate Moss photoshoot. Now? Everyone wants tacos! Sweet.

UPDATE: Unrelated to the promotion, but something I discovered the next day about this. If you mention it, you bring attention to someone who otherwise probably wouldn’t want it, but on the other, it’s a step towards something else perhaps, like maybe the possibility that the Indians and Braves’ logos and mascots might be on their way out.
