Taco Bell has continued their "Steal a Base, Steal a Taco" campaign for the 2017 World Series between the Houston Astros and Los Angeles Dodgers. If any player steals a base during the series, United States Taco Bell locations will give away a free Doritos Locos Taco.
After no bases were swiped in Game 1, Cameron Maybin of the Astros stole one in Game 2, earning free tacos for all of America. These tacos will be of the Doritos Locos line, meaning the hard shell is made out of Doritos and available in Cool Ranch, Nacho Cheese, or Fiery varieties.
Free tacos will be available November 1 from 2-6 PM at participating locations while supplies last. No purchase is necessary but there is a limit of one free taco per person.
Taco Bell has triggered this giveaway in each of the last six seasons. It's all but guaranteed the giveaway will take place each year, as 99 of the past 100 World Series have featured a stolen base by either team, with the 1944 World Series between the St. Louis Cardinals and Browns the lone exception.
Taco Bell runs a similar promotion during the NBA Finals: "Steal a Road Game, Steal a Taco." This is definitely less of a guarantee than a stolen base, but not too unlikely either.
Taco Bell uses the promotion to get more customers into their many locations. Though you can take the free taco and leave, many consumers add a drink or more food to their meal.
