Taco Bell is giving away free tacos.
The fast food chain announced guests can receive one free Doritos Locos Taco every Tuesday from August 15th to September 5th. So, why is the chain doing it? Because Taco John's dropped its trademark on the term "Taco Tuesday," making it possible for other businesses to use the phrase. Taco Bell released a statement saying "Taco Tuesday belongs to all who make, sell, eat, and celebrate tacos." In addition to letting the trademark go, Taco John's also donated $40-thousand to the non-profit organization Children of Restaurant Employees, which helps provide financial relief to restaurant workers with children.
