Recently, Taco Bell has been offering 49 cent hard or soft Tacos on certain days of the week, depending on where you live. Many of you have seen 49 cent Tacos on Mondays and Thursdays, Sundays only or some other day or days of the week. Taco Bells around the US are doing this, and many see it as signs of the current economic decline.

First the “Why Pay More?” value menu, and now this? Seems like our dear Taco Bell has fallen on hard times recently. Well, not to worry. A little digging reveals that this mind-blowing Taco deal has absolutely nothing to do with the economic decline. Looking back, Taco Bell has done this on multiple occasions. Its less of a sign that they need more money and more of a sign that they’re trying to get more people to come to Taco Bell, bringing us back to this.

So, loyal fans need not worry. McDonald’s does its 49 cent cheeseburgers, Denny’s does free breakfast and Taco Bell, well, Taco Bell gives you a reason to buy ninety-five tacos. Any excuse is good enough for us.
