Taco Bell and Duolingo Celebrate Global Taco Day

On October 6, Taco Bell is set to expand its National Taco Day festivities to an international audience, marking the first-ever Global Taco Day in collaboration with Duolingo. This exciting partnership focuses on uniting taco enthusiasts around the world through one universally recognized word: "taco."

A Flavorful Twist: Duo Habanero Sauce

Taco Bell introduces the Duo Habanero Sauce, a limited-edition condiment designed to elevate your taco experience. This new sauce blends a bright and tangy flavor with a burst of fruity habanero heat, bringing a unique twist to its famous sauce packets. Not just a condiment, these packets also include taco-related wisdom in nine different languages, making every bite a fun learning opportunity.

In the U.S., the Duo Habanero Sauce is offered for free with the purchase of any Doritos® Locos Tacos and will be available globally at participating Taco Bell locations, with offers varying by region. This means fans from different markets can enjoy the sauce, creating a cohesive experience for Global Taco Day.

Global Celebration: Tacos and Language Learning

This year's celebration is not just about enjoying delicious tacos; it's about embracing the cultural connections that food fosters. Taco Bell Chief Marketing Officer, Luis Restrepo, emphasizes that the love for tacos transcends languages—it's a phenomenon recognized in over 30 languages. From taco in Spanish to タコス (Takosu) in Japanese, the word remains consistent, illustrating tacos' universal appeal.

Taco Takeover in New York City

One of the highlights of Global Taco Day will be a special Taco Bell x Duolingo restaurant takeover in New York City, bringing fans an interactive experience filled with taco-related lessons from Duo, the friendly language owl from Duolingo. Scheduled for October 6, this event will feature plenty of taco fun, food giveaways, and opportunities to engage with the playful spirit of the collaboration.

Limited-Edition Plushies and Language Rewards

Beyond the taste of tacos, Taco Bell and Duolingo are also offering creative merchandise. Duo plushies dressed in Taco Bell attire will be limited-edition collectibles available to fans in participating markets. U.S. Taco Bell Rewards Members will have the chance to obtain one of these plushies on a first-come, first-served basis.

Furthermore, between October 1 and October 6, Taco Bell Rewards Members can unlock a free month's subscription to Super Duolingo—an enticing offer for anyone eager to dive deeper into language learning while enjoying their favorite tacos.

A Celebration That Crosses Borders

From delightful culinary experiences to playful educational moments, Taco Bell and Duolingo's collaboration aims to unite taco lovers worldwide. The anticipated event emphasizes that the joy of food and language can create connections that are easily understood across different cultures.

The global festivities will also include special events and promotional activities in countries such as Canada, Australia, China, India, Spain, and the UK, allowing taco fans everywhere to participate in the celebration.
