In 2019, LeBron James filed a trademark for the phrase “Taco Tuesday.” Reports noted that James and Taco Bell were able to release the phrase into public domain. This means the phrase can now be used for free in every state except New Jersey. Now, James and Taco Bell are preparing a “taco tab” for DoorDash users to enjoy 'Taco Tuesday' on September 12.
In a TikTok released by Taco Bell, James said, “Everyone being able to freely celebrate Taco Tuesday is a huge win for so many. I’m excited that all restaurants, small businesses, mom-and-pop shops, taco trucks, and families everywhere can now engage in and enjoy this tradition that brings people together.” The event will reportedly be available everywhere in the United States except New Jersey, and 20,000 restaurants are set to participate. Stay tuned for more updates.
