Everyone Gets Free Taco Bell On November 1

Everyone Gets Free Taco Bell On November 1

Everyone in America is getting free tacos, thanks to baseball. That’s because the first stolen base of the 2018 World Series triggered Taco Bell’s annual “Steal a Base, Steal a Taco” giveaway on Tuesday night, during Game 1 of the World Series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Boston Red Sox. We repeat: free tacos at Taco Bell. For everyone. Really.

When Do I Get My Free Tacos?

For the seventh year in a row, Taco Bell is giving everyone in the United States a free Doritos Locos Taco -- all thanks to Mookie Betts, who stole second base in the very first inning of the series and instantly became America’s new “Taco Hero.” (In fact, it was the very first chance anyone had to steal a base in the series.) Here’s how the free taco feeding frenzy will go down: Taco Bell locations across the country will hand you a free taco on Thursday, November 1, from 2pm to 6pm (local time). All you have to do is line up, get your free taco, and eat said free taco. It’s that simple. OK, you might want to throw some Fire Sauce on it first.

Because a stolen base is basically inevitable during the World Series, the free tacos were all but guaranteed when Taco Bell announced the promotion earlier this month. Last year, Houston Astros outfielder Cameron Maybin won everyone tacos when he stole a base in the 11th inning of Game 2 against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Oh, and it was only a few months ago when the Golden State Warriors beat the Cleveland Cavaliers on their own court to score America free tacos via T-Bell’s similar promotion for the NBA Finals.

Taco Bell is giving away Doritos Locos Tacos on Thursday, November 1, from 2 to 6 p.m.

• It's part of the fast-food chain's "Steal a Base, Steal a Taco" promotion.

• The Red Sox's Mookie Betts stole a base on Tuesday evening, unlocking the free tacos.

• Taco Bell is giving away Doritos Locos Tacos on November 1.

Before the World Series, Taco Bell announced it would bring back the "Steal a Base, Steal a Taco" promotion: If a player steals a base, Taco Bell will give away tacos across the US.

Taco fans didn't have to wait long for the free tacos to be unlocked. On Tuesday, the first night of the series, the Red Sox's Mookie Betts stole second base.

To quote MLB's Twitter account, in that moment Betts became "the Taco Hero baseball deserves."
