Following the Taco Bell Specialized bottle story:> That reference to Taco Bell makes me laugh, remembering the amazing
> LeMond/Taco Bell water bottle incident.
>
> Apparently Taco Bell planned a huge nationwide LeMond promo in which
> they would give away Specialized made water bottles in their haute cuisine
> establishments... Within a few days of the kick off, some 5 year old flea
> brained imbecilic child chewed the top off the? plastic flow valve and
> swallowed it. Taco Bell freaked out and withdrew from the campaign,
> and thousands upon thousands of those water bottles clogged up
> Specialized's warehouses. They couldn't sell them either because they
> had Taco Bell's name on them.... I ended up with a few cases through
> industry skulduggery and gave them away.? ?A friend of mine still has a few of these waterbottles. He'll let them go for $1 more than the shipping cost.Steven Maasland
