Free tacos at Taco Bell thanks to basketball

NBA Finals ended on Sunday, 19th June, but Taco Bell and its promotion “Steal a game, steal a taco” was available Tuesday in every Taco Bell in the United States. According to terms and conditions published on the company’s site, a “Stolen Game” occurs if either team in the 2016 NBA Finals series wins a road game at the home arena of the other.

Delivering free tacos after the end of the NBA competition has its reasons. In the terms and conditions of the promotion is said that if the Stolen Game occurred during Game 1, Game 2, or Game 3, the “Redemption Date” (the day of the promotion) would be on Wednesday, June 15. But, if the Stolen Game was in Game 4, Game 5, Game 6 or Game 7, the promotion will be on Tuesday, June 21.
