I have the feeling the taco you get will look nothing like the one in the picture..
![\"user-pic\"](\"http://consumerist.com/assets_c/userpics/userpic-1713-100x100.png\")
The taco, or the results from the taco diet?

Your feeling would be accurate, they always look better in the photos...

Both the taco and the woman

Little too early for Spring cleaning
The fact that they are promoting a drive-thru diet worries me, but, I had one of these free tacos last night....it was kind of soggy...no DTD for me

\"Drive-Thru Diet\" seems helplessly oxymoronic.

You know if I get a coupon for a free taco and the manager doesn't want to comp it, I've just wasted my trip.
It's a recipe for disaster.

Most, if not all, Taco Bells in my area have a satisfaction guarantee on the wall... money quote is \"If you don't like it, we'll eat it ... money back? No problem!\" If the manager turns down your coupon, just pay for one with credit. Then, when you are inevitably disappointed (it's Taco Bell, after all) just tell them you want your money back. If they refuse, you can remind them that the $10 (or whatever) chargeback fee is much more expensive.
This sounds like a bit too much trouble for a taco bell product.

If you watch the commercial and read the fine print on it, she ate the food over a period of 2 years to lose the weight. That is a pretty long time to have been testing the tacos for the campaign, and I am pretty sure that you can lose 60 pounds or whatever she did much faster than using the drive through diet.
Actually, to lose 60 pounds and *keep* it off, 1 1/2 - 2 1/2 years is a perfectly reasonable time-frame. Generally 1/2 - 2 lbs per week is considered optimal. And as anyone who's ever done it knows, no matter how \"good\" you are it's not consistent week-to-week.
Anyone can lose weight by going on my patented \"don't eat\" diet. Best of all, it's the diet that pays you back by saving all that money you've been wasting on life-sustaining nutrition.
This is also a pretty good debt management solution, because if you stay on the diet long enough, you die and all your debt gets erased.
I just wasted one of the million - my primary printer wouldn't print, so I had to cancel the job.

Actually, it's one million redeemed when they stop the campaign. It's been up for a while...I'm surprised they haven't hit the number yet.

Meh, you have to install that coupon printer applet. I'll pay the $1 or whatever it is.

Are fast food restaurants finally realizing that an open-ended free food promotion may not quite go as planned?
![\"user-pic\"](\"http://consumerist.com/assets_c/userpics/userpic-78045-100x100.png\")
I tried it a few weeks ago. I don't like tomatoes, so \"Fresco\" style not for me. If I just ask them to remove the cheese off a regular Taco, I'm just as good off.

\"The rules say the manager's decision is final on whether or not to accept the coupon\"
I eagerly await later consumerist posts from angry customers who were denied their free taco by a power tripping manager.
Better, news stories about people calling 911 because they couldn't redeem their coupons.
\"I want my coupon, or I want my taco!\"
Better yet, I cannot wait to see videos of patrons throwing mopbucket water around!
No kidding. At least it is spread out over seven days, though, so it sounds better than past promotions like this.

I've seen better taco's than the one pictured. Trust!

I'd go get a free taco for lunch, but I had Chipotle for lunch yesterday, thanks to another Consumerist article. Darn you, delicious food articles!
You got her to pick it up for you?
Isn't driving to Taco Bell too much trouble for a Taco Bell product? Snarkiness aside, I actually like some Taco Bell items and sometimes spend more to get there then to buy the food (Edmunds estimation of $0.50/mile true cost)

This can only end badly.
\"The rules say the manager's decision is final on whether or not to accept the coupon\"
Isn't that arbitrary rule and the inevitable arbitrary decisions that follow just setting up a whole pile of customer service problems?

Odd. A couple weeks ago, Taco Bell was giving them away with a purchase of a drink. This coupon pretty much says that no purchase is necessary.
It also says you can check out the page www.drivethrudiet.com to see if one million coupons are redeemed. If the page says so, then you can't redeem this coupon. (Mine expires 1/21.)
I used one of these coupons last week, no problem. I usually like Taco Bell, but the steak Fresco taco I had (for free) was terrible. It wasn't even worth the free part of the deal.
Can't speak for anyone else ... but I don't think a free taco is worth installing malware into my computer ... I think I'll pass
Too bad the \"no substitutions\" text means that some managers/employees will likely turn down a request for a free vegetarian taco
No thanks
Yes, please.
