The Taco Bell Truck will assault Philly in September
![]() |
Due to what they're characterizing as overwhelming regional demand, Taco Bell's mobile taco truck � the Twitter-based promo tool that some people think is fake � will apparently stop in Philly on Wednesday, September 9 to hand out free tacos and burritos at the 24-Hour Blame-A-Thon event benefiting cancer research (more on that here and here).
You know, we heard Joe Buck mention the Taco Bell Truck by name during last week's MLB All-Star Game, which would seem to legitimize its existence. But strangely enough, a Twitter search reveals a suspicious lack of after-the-fact reports (e.g. "Yum, just ate some free tacos from the Taco Bell Truck!") � and we cannot find a single photo of the truck itself. Is this vehicle's elusiveness simply a result of a hyper-regulated marketing campaign? Or is this some sort of elaborate conspiracy ... that involves Joe Buck?
If you've placed eyeballs on the Taco Bell Truck in another city, or you have photographic evidence, please speak up in the comments.
UPDATE: So the Taco Bell Truck has checked in with some rather compelling photographic evidence of its existence. Pics after the jump.
