Is Taco Bell Guilty of False Advertising?

[butchie_t]

Yes they are guilty of false advertising. They say they sell food......

I thought it was just part of the commercial and never thought there were actual cards.
But I admit I was never really paying close attention to it.

But I do not agree with the False advertising related to the food.

I admit I am a Taco Bell Junkie

First off, I did not see the commercial.
I don't agree with the advertising this way. But I do not feel it was not false advertising because thy never said you get a pack or you can buy a pack of cards. Yes it is misleading. However if they did say you can get cards then yes it is false advertising.
Just my two cents.

What I dislike is on Tuesdays I used to go there for my very own "Taco Tuesday" but it always seemed to lead to "Pepto Bismol Wednesday"! So I stopped!

Same. Taco Bell never offered a pack of cards either free with purchase or as a separate charge. It was just a cinematic effect/theatrical element (I don't know the correct industry term) added to enhance the commercial. The same commercial shows lightning bolts shooting from Albies cleats as he's stealing the base. If I buy a pair of those cleats, will lightning bolts shoot from mine? No, it was just an effect added for the commercial. Same reasoning applies to the cards since nothing was ever offered.

I collect cards from the 1900s and Taco Bell was not around then
