And then a chihuahua jumped in front of my car, causing me to swerve and crash into a tanker truck full of Baja Blast Mountain Dew.
Where can I buy 3½ x 5 postcards?

Bought one. It's only 10pm EST. Going to wait until my gut gives me a bad feeling and then I'll try the code.
I tried 8 times back for the ps4 contest. Bought a lot of boxes and left burritos along my frozen college campus. What a waste. Please help me stop.

I couldn't tell ya. I never found any either.
So I spent two hours cutting 3½ x 5 sections of cereal boxes and used them as postcards.
I wonder if 3" x 5" index cards would work.
LOL this guy gets it
I always get Baja Blast and Diet MtDew if I don't want sugar

I bought some more post cards and decided to measure them today before sending them out. I see that their 4X5 1/2 instead or 3 1/2 X 5!!!!!!
Im hoping they still take em. Their offical post cards.

I've been though all of the Sony Vita, VR, Xbox, and whatever other Taco Bell contests, and this is going to be my year... To completely lose again and watch others win.
Bought my first box, so ashamed.

Patiently awaiting the online code period so I can get my free entries! I don't have the time/motivation to mail out the postcards and it'd probably take too long anyway. I'd sure love to win, but if not I'll just buy the box anyway. I can't bring myself to actually buy Taco Bell for an entry.
I'll probably buy a few boxes when my wife is away and thus unable to shame me for my terrible decisions.

Man I still haven't even gotten those codes I requested via postcard. Does anyone know if those are tied to my name or anything? I'd hate to get disqualified for giving them away.

Tried on Monday, got nothing but a burning butt hole. Probably not trying again.

Hot dang! Glad I didn't send in then! It would have taken me 5-7 days to get cards before I could even fill them out.
From what I understand, they aren't tied to you in any way, shape, or form. They're just codes that you text in as if you got them off the $5 box.

The official rules state one game play per entrant per day. I'm sure you can use a different email and/or phone # to enter online or via phone, but you run the risk of being disqualified. So I guess I'd say you're limited to one "legit" try per day.
Edit: Official rules confirming the above statement. Looks like you have have up to five entrants per household:

That man is serious!!! If we could all be that serious on matter of life.
Im really contemplating walking in there and buying that nasty ass food, ripping the code off and giving the food to a homeless person (but that seems cruel cause he has no personal rest room). But I'm seriously considering it. Much cheaper than spending $500.
What's the point of this promotion if the restaurants don't even give out the boxes with the codes on them? Been to three different Taco Bells in the last several days, one of them in a different state even, and one of the times they just gave me my food in a bag, and just now they gave me one of the older white boxes. It's annoying.
They're giving away over 5,000 of them in a one-month period! People are winning for sure.

Hey, its called saving codes for the weekend / days you don't want to destroy your intestine. (but really, i did this the other day. no shame.)
Coworker won yesterday morning, and is one of those 'whats an xbox' users...... Of course the ones that wont use it more than 2 hours wins.
I'm 0/3. Going to use codes the same time each morning.
ask a manager and see if they're just keeping the boxes in the back (for themselves). Seen a lot of people getting them after asking for it. Luckily I haven't experienced this tho.
Ah okay. Went back and saw that. Now I have the tiniest glimmer of hope. Time to buy more Taco Bell.

Early Mornings. Got to place them in when not many are doing it. But really, every 10 minutes its a random time it sets the 'next text' winner. Can be anytime in the 10 minute span.
Oh so its not like 0,10, 20, etc?
SealedSeven
Neo Member
nope. its a random time in a 10 minute span. So between 2:10-2:19.59, there will be a 'next text wins' moment. so lets say 2:06:34 is the time. The next text after that moment wins.
alright thanks. I'm gonna wake up and try at like 4am eastern.
So it's every ten minutes regardless of when the actual winning timer is?
Say 1:10-1:19.59 time slot and the winning time is 1:15. Next time slot starts at 1:20-1:29.59 and it'll be anywhere inside those ten?
I guess what I'm asking is if the time slot is dependent of the winning time at all?

Correct, it is 1 every 10 minute slot. so your example is correct. 1:15 winning time, next time to win is between 1:20-1:29:59.
This will typically occur about 10 minutes after you eat the contents of the box.

I think 3 people in this thread have already won.
And no, nobody wins. They grind up all the xbox one x's and use the metal to create more of the machine that prints the "4K" on the chip inside.
Been to two different ones and each one they tried to hand it to me in a bag. I had to ask for the box. Smh

Taco Bell had a giveaway for the original Xbox back at its launch.
I remember seeing it, the logo particularly, and wondering to myself "what the hell is an Xbox?!"
I had no idea it was a games system. I figured it was something cool, because it had X's.
I like Taco Bell... I do.
Their 7 Layer Burritos and Shredded Chicken Burritos are great. I've been known to order those quite often...
But the steak quesarito is nasty.
I've never been a fan of Taco Bell's nacho cheese, but even removing that from the steak quesarito and replacing it with regular shredded cheese doesn't prevent it from still being unappetizing.
After suffering through two steak quesaritos in two weeks, I think I'm just going to keep my XOne X pre-order.

You can get the other $5 box too. doesn't have to be the quesarito box for this.

As someone who hasn't eaten at Taco Bell in ages, how do the $5 boxes work? Is it just a pre-set selection of food or do you pick what you want in one? (With restrictions of course)
SealedSeven

Preset selection, tho you can substitute hard tacos with soft, and nacho Doritos with ranch Doritos, and likely other similar subs.

Thank you kindly! I'd get one of those things every damn day if they had a breakfast version. Looking at their menu doesn't seem too bad though. I'll have to try it out soon and see how my butt feels.
