PS3 or Tacos?

This is weird.
November 20, 2006 - Taco Bell is trying to do a good deed. The first person who agrees to give up their PlayStation 3 to Taco Bell will get the equivalent of tacos for life. Your console (should you choose to donate it) won't go to a Taco Bell manager. Instead, the Bell is giving the PS3 to the Boys & Girls Club.
"The PlayStation 3 is on every teen's holiday wish list," said Bob Fulmer, Executive Director, Taco Bell Foundation. "That's why we're offering one lucky individual tacos for life in exchange for giving Boys & Girls Club teens a gift that will keep them in the game."
Should you trade your PS3 for $12,500 in Taco Bell Bucks? Here's a simple questionnaire to help you determine which luxury item (a game system or tacos) better suits your lifestyle:
* You just wanted the thrill of standing in line for 36 hours and find playing PS3 is anticlimactic
* Every time you see a Chihuahua your stomach grumbles.
* You plan on living large (literally)
* You have a kind heart...
* ...and you would like to see it explode with a one-day Taco Bell binge
If you answered in the affirmative to all of the above, you are clearly better off with a lifetime supply of Taco Bell's tasty products. If interested, send your name, email address and phone number to
tacobellnews@tacobell.com
. The offer expires December 1, 2006. It's first come, first served, so if you want to make the ultimate holiday sacrifice (and get some free tacos in the process), email sooner rather than later.

What does that mean? Like a year's supply of icecream which turns out to be only six tubs?

$12500 in Taco Bell bucks!
If you spent $4/meal, 2 meals a day, every day, that would last you 1562.5 days, or roughly 4.28 years. Double it if you only eat 1 meal/day.
I'd definitely trade a PS3 for that. Further, as the value of the PS3 will only go down, so if you buy it back for say $200 a few years down the road, you'll still have your PS3 AND your Taco Bell vouchers.

easy trade there
this kindof reminds me of that guy who traded a red paper clip for something else, and kept trading his new item until he got a house
you could easily get cash for taco bucks
but im guessing that this is a one time deal and by the time we have read it, somebody said already said yes

They better hand out a well padded toilet seat with that, Mexican food twice a day for 4 years, and seeing as it's pre-made goo not genuine, I'm not so sure that's a prize so much as a death sentence on your bowels.
Maybe that guy from ebay who makes custom toilet seats can whip up a Taco Bell or PS3 one for the lucky soul who goes for that deal.

It's too bad I'm on a diet, I'd do that PS3 deal in a heartbeat. Financially it just makes sense.

have you seen the houses in japan, they are small. so their idea of a small house is probably a shack.

I've spent approximately $20/week at Taco Bell since this was posted 10 years ago -- that's just over $10k. I have another $2k to go to declare myself a winner. I can't wait to rub this in their faces.
