On my way to work I heard on the radio that Taco Bell will give you 12,500 Taco Bell Bucks to the first person to trade them thier playstation 3. According to Taco Bell the PS3 will donate the PS3 to a boys and girls club. Would you do it?

What are Taco Bell Bucks? Are they like store credit, for Taco Bell? If so, I wouldn't want that, even if I lived in the USA. I don't mind some Taco Bell food, but I wouldn't want to eat it all the time, and 12,500 bucks worth of it would just mean I'd be eating junk food all the time.

After thinking about it I would(If I had a PS3). You can always buy a PS3 later on. 12,500 Taco bucks will feed me and my friends for like year or so.

Sure, but at what cost to your health? I eat fast food about once or twice a month. I eat other kinds of junk food such as sweet stuff a little more often, but I still don't make a habit of it.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not a health freak, and I'm not in great shape, but I just try to keep fast food to a minimum because of the level of trans-fats in them, which can have some really, really nasty effects on a person.

With that amount of "Taco Bell Bucks" the temptation would be to eat that stuff all the time.

Only a year!? 12,500 TB bucks would last my whole life.
(Closest TB is like an hour away).

Not really worth the trade. I'd give a hot chick(or MILF) buttsecks for one though. Sex for a PS3. Nothing wrong with that.

If I had a PS3 to donate (And if I was in the US for that matter), I just might. While I don't eat Fast food very often, I do like tacos, and wouldn't mind eating a couple, several times a month. Even then, I'd do it since it is for a good cause, as a donation to a charity group. PS3s are bound to be replenished at some point, and I could always buy another one.

First I've heard of them myself. O.o
I seriously can't see this as being effective anyway, but sadly.....I also can. A bit.
At least their clogged hearts are in the right place, with this donation and all....

I would. Eating is more important to me than videogames.

Maybe I'll change my mind when Virtua Fighter 5 comes out.

Until they make the Club Chalupa a permanent menu item, I've no need for Taco Bell. Club Chalupa=Infinite Win.

For me, the question is "would you trade something you didn't want for something else you didn't want?"

If I had a PS3, I'd put it up in a charity raffle, then put the money raised toward the designated charity.

Haro!

I don't like taco bell so I wouldn't trade for that (though if I'm hungry enough it tastes good). Sell it on ebay definitely.

Chalupas are excellent. It is because of Chalupas that I'm glad there's no Taco Bell where I live. Dang.

PS3, despiting having no good games and is like shelling out 600 dollars hoping that Metal Gear Solid 4 will be good, is better than books. :(

No. I enjoy eating at Taco Bell, but that's just.... way too much Taco Bell. Even if I was treating other people there as well, its just way too much.

I'd probably to it for Borders store credit or something like that, though, if it was a similar amount (or even a lot less, as long as it was a good deal more than what i paid for the PS3). Until MGS4 or FF13 come out, I wouldn't have much use for one anyway.

If that was the case, I'd take that offer up in a heartbeat. Think of what you could buy with $12,500 of store credit? That's right Absolute Sandman vol. 1, I'm eying you... Along with Absolute Watchman and Absolute Dark Knight Returns...

No cause I don't like taco bell that much I would get really sick of it fast. anyways there hot sauce is really mild, not like the hot sauce from taco time, that's hot sauce.

QFT

It tastes like a mix between a milder version of Tabasco sauce and ketchup. If you think the Taco Bell hot sauce is spicy, I reccomend you to never eat Mexican or Thai food.

Not for crummy fast food dollars, but for Borders dollars (or 12,500 credits at almost any B&M store/chain/etc.)... I would be all over it.

12500 Borders dollars would be absolute heaven for me.

But to answer the question; I'd keep the PS3 and sell it twice as much on ebay.

If it were to somewere somewere like Borders, Hastings, Best Buy or Game Stop i'd do it in a heartbeat. For Taco Bell though? Ya I probobly would :P

November 27th, 2006, 08:29 PM
Come to think of it I'd do it for B&N or if talking food, Wendy's or Starbucks.

I would do it, depending on the exchange rate though. I'd do it, help out with a good cause, and also sell my ish online for a little cheaper, so I can get a ps3, wii, and xbox360 (all depending on the exchange rate)
