Ortega® Celebrates Cinco de Mayo with a 'Year of Free Tacos' Sweepstakes
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.
