The Story Behind the “Taco Tuesday of All Taco Tuesdays”
You might be wondering why Taco Bell is making such a fuss about National Taco Day falling on a Tuesday. Well, there’s a good reason!
Last year, Taco Bell famously championed the cause to “free” the “Taco Tuesday” trademark from Taco John’s. Building on that victory, the company partnered with the National Day Calendar this year to officially designate the first Tuesday in October as National Taco Day.
According to Marlo Anderson, founder of National Day Calendar, this move creates “the Taco Tuesday of all Taco Tuesdays.” It’s a perfect alignment that celebrates both the day and the iconic dish in one grand, delicious event.
So, get ready to embrace the ultimate taco celebration this October 7th – your taste buds will thank you!
