New survey from Ortega® finds Americans would give up
coffee, social media, and even sports in exchange for a year of
free tacos
PARSIPPANY, N.J., May 2, 2022
/PRNewswire/ -- Ortega®, a leading brand of
Mexican food products including taco shells, taco kits, Mexican
seasonings, peppers and the number-one-selling brand of taco sauce
in the United States, is marking
Cinco de Mayo with a new
sweepstakes where one lucky consumer will win a year of free tacos.
The promotion comes on the heels of a recent survey from the
Ortega brand, that revealed just how much Americans are
willing to give up for free tacos every day for a year.
Ortega surveyed 1,300 Americans to understand their
taco consumption behaviors and preferences, and found that
Americans are willing to give up some of their favorite indulgences
and vices - including coffee, video games, and even social media -
if it means they can have free tacos for a year.
Key survey findings include:
- Americans taking tacos over coffee: Nearly 1 in 3
(29%) Americans surveyed said they would give up coffee for one
year if it meant they could get free tacos for a year.
- Passing on popular pastimes: More than one third of
Americans surveyed said they would give up sports (36%) and video
games (34%) in order to receive free tacos for a year.
- Swapping social time for tacos: Nearly one in five
Americans surveyed said they were willing to give up social media
(19%) if it meant they could have free tacos for a year.
- Tacos takeover: When asked about the frequency of
eating foods per month, almost half (48%) of Americans surveyed
said they eat tacos at least once per month* - that's more than
pizza (46%), burgers (46%), French fries (41%) or pasta (36%).
Luckily, Americans won't need to give anything up, including
social media, to still be eligible to win free Ortega tacos
for a year. Beginning today, May 2,
2022 through May 6, 2022,
consumers can enter to win the Ortega 'Year of Free Tacos'
sweepstakes by visiting ortega.com/sweepstakes. One winner will be
selected at random and receive 52 coupons for a free box of
Ortega taco shells - enough to create more than 600 tacos -
in addition to assorted Ortega® products for creating
the ultimate taco. The winner will also receive a $1040 gift card (equal to $20 per week) to purchase their favorite taco
fillings and toppings. No purchase is necessary. For a complete
