Update on the free taco

Free
Get a free taco at taco bell on Tuesday from 2 to 5pm. Everyone in the United States can go get a free taco at Taco Bell next Tuesday, Oct. 30, between 2 p.m. and 5 p.m. local time.
The "Steal a Base, Steal a Taco" deal by Taco Bell, part of Yum Brands Inc., will allow customers at any of the chain's participating 5,800 outlets to cash in on a free crunchy seasoned beef taco -- valued at 77 cents. Of course, with any free lunch, there's a catch: Customers may only collect on the promotion between 2 p.m. and 5 p.m. local time.
It's a window that may benefit the Bell. "It might cost Taco Bell more if they did it between 2 a.m. and 5 a.m.," one player in the Red Sox bullpen reportedly joked.

Win the Series, Get a Couch

Taco Bell isn't the only company with a promotion tied to the Fall Classic.

Thousands of Red Sox faithful stand to win millions of dollars in free furniture thanks to a promotion by a Boston-area furniture chain.

In March and April, when postseason baseball was just a dream, Jordan's Furniture ran a promotion offering full refunds to everyone who bought any sofa, dining room table, bed or mattress during a specific time period if the Red Sox win the World Series.

Nearly 30,000 people bought furniture, and now Jordan's might have to refund millions of dollars. The company won't say how much, but a conservative estimate by ABC News suggests the promotion could be worth $15 million in free furniture if the Red Sox come through.
