Guns N’ Roses + World Series = Free Soda & Tacos For America

There’s no such thing as a free lunch — but thanks to Axl Rose and the Tampa Bay Rays, Americans can come pretty close.

Dr. Pepper, which promised a free can of soda to every man, woman and child in the U.S. earlier this year if Guns N’ Roses’ long-awaited album, “Chinese Democracy,” was released in 2008, is going to make good on its word after the band announced a Nov. 23 release date.

To score your soda, go to DrPepper.com on Nov. 23 to register for a coupon for a free 20 ounce bottle, redeemable wherever Dr. Pepper is sold.

As for the free Taco Bell, thank Tampa Bay Rays shortstop Jason Bartlett, who stole a base in the first game of the World Series. Like last year, Taco Bell is offering a free taco to anyone between 2 PM and 6 PM on Tuesday, October 28 in its “Steal a Base, Steal a Taco” campaign, which could lead to more tacos should players steal more bases in the next three games.

Last year, Boston Red Sox outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury swiped a base against the Colorado Rockies in the 2007 World Series to earn everyone free tacos in the campaign.

However, there’s one company which isn’t giving it away — contrary to rumor, burger chain In N’ Out did not go back to 1940’s prices on Wednesday in celebration of its 60th anniversary.

“We’ve always tried to keep our prices as low as possible in order to give our customers the greatest value,” read a statement on the In-N-Out Web site. “One of the ways we accomplish this is by not discounting and our anniversary is no exception. We’re sorry if this rumor has caused any confusion.”
