The folks at Silver Doctors blog picked-up on this and had this to say about the fast food chain Taco Bell promoting a contest where you can win “real traditional gold” (an American Golden Eagle) instead of Federal Reserve Notes:
“Think this doesn't demonstrate a MASSIVE PARADIGM SHIFT!?!
Even 2-3 years ago, it would be completely inconceivable for a major US fast food chain to offer gold as an alternative contest prize to federal reserve notes. While this may be seen by many as merely a novel alternative concept designed to gain attention (which it will) Taco Bell is clearly riding the forefront of the sheople's awakening to gold and silver.”
Here are just a portion of the contest details:
“If I win, what form does the gold get delivered to me in?
Verified winners will get the gold in American Eagle Gold Coins (equivalent dollar value is also an option upon request).
How much gold can I win?
You can win either $190 or $1,142 in real gold! The price of gold fluctuates, so the prize values are based on the price of gold as of August 2, 2011.
How do I enter?
Text the 9 digit code found on your specially marked DORITOS® Tortilla Chips bag from a meal deal at participating Taco Bell locations to 24477 (CHIPS). Msg & Data rates may apply. To enter without purchase or incurring text message charges, call 1-800-352-1335.”
I think this is very cool! The contest runs until 12/28, so start dialing that (800) number! Or, if you are not feeling that lucky, call us at Lear Capital via (800)576-9355 to buy YOUR American Eagle gold coins, rare gold coins or numismatic silver coins!
