For one taco, Taco Bell today offered to buy my Facebook Like.

I accepted. Oh no… here it comes… sorry…can’t stop… must type… they had me at Taco. Baaah! Sorry.

Then, I couldn’t print out the coupon. It seems from the TB FB Wall that at least one other TB Liker of the more than 5.5 million total TB Likers (at last check) experienced the same issue:

Why go halfway for a taco to turn around empty handed? Undaunted, I clicked on TB’s response. Then, after updating my Java issue, I tried to print again. And again it didn’t work. So then I gave up and unliked Taco Bell, which isn’t the easiest thing to do (kind of like spending 10 dollars at a Taco Bell and eating the entire order).

Perhaps I’m alone in my act of Like-to-Unlike (dislike?) of Taco Bell over the free-taco-that-wouldn’t-print, but I’m guessing not. If I’m not alone, the moral of this post is probably something along the lines of: if you’re going to give away 10 million tacos on Facebook and it’s one-taco-per-Liker offer (as opposed to much higher taco-per-Liker stakes), you might want to make sure it won’t taco your Likers out. (A little too puntastic perhaps? I hear ya.)

Also, while on the Taco Bell Giveaway topic, is it just me or is the single reference in the Giveaway press release to the “beef class action lawsuit” odd? Why mention it at all if you’re not going to shine some light on it or put some spin on it or something, as the case may be?
