I just think it's funny that all the uproar hinges upon one tiny semantic. They ad says it's not a weight loss program, so it's a way of eating, the technical meaning of diet.<br /><br />In spite of all the negative buzz it's bringing them, I don't think the actual targets of the campaign will care. It doesn't take much to convert Taco Bell target: they already want the damn taco. So I think it's a good attempt at marketing, we'll see if it works.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4470610300400974722.post-87356908538374008242010-01-05T09:27:10.674-06:002010-01-05T09:27:10.674-06:00A guy who calls his creativity "unbridled&quo...A guy who calls his creativity "unbridled" in his "About Me" section thinks this campaign lacks charm, wit and irony? It must be worse than I thought.<br />If the point is that the campaign doesn't work because it isn't "honest," please let us know one fast-food campaign that does work. Subway and Jared are no more "honest" than Taco Bell, they just got there first.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4470610300400974722.post-1306006529022280762010-01-04T12:57:57.795-06:002010-01-04T12:57:57.795-06:00To be completely honest when I first saw the comme...To be completely honest when I first saw the commercial I totally thought it was a Nutrisystem or Smart Cookie ad... never would have guessed Taco Bell. <br /><br />As you mention the calorie count is not much different and being on Weight Watchers myself the point difference is so minimal that I'd prefer to eat the "normal" taco because it's actually hot (temp wise).Shawna Eveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12863925905949596975noreply@blogger.com
