Taco Tuesday

I just about died laughing! This made my day.

^^^ Reason I made this thread.

Rival chain Taco John's has held a trademark since 1989​

That sounds pretty strong. Only in the internet era of making every single day a "thing", did I hear of Taco Tuesday. They certainly have a claim, but is it a claim on something they can rightly hold?
OTOH, never even heard of Taco John's before... so... small fish eaten by big fish soon?

Can the general public, via the internet, consume another's slogan and claim it as public domain?
Then again... if all Taco Bell wants is the right to say Taco Tuesday.... seems innocent enough?

If I were Judge over this case, I am not sure how it should go down.

It is a whiter Taco Bell. Very much a midwest thing.

Just for fun I found some of their old ads (80s/90s) on Youtube. Very much proves this point. Cringeworthy in retrospect, lol.

Taco John sounds like a euphemism for some hanky panky in a Mexican restaurant parking lot.

Lawls! For some reason, I imagine s h o r t y, at long last, getting his needs met.

More like intimidation by the bigger corporation without any hesitation.

Over Taco Grande?

No. I don’t think I’ll ever be over Taco Grande. Those wounds run pretty deep.
