Once I got a card from Taco Bell where if I ate ten tacos I'd get a hat, and if I hate forty tacos I'd get a shirt. It seeemed like a no brainer, because they gave you a long time to eat those tacos, and it seemed like I ate tacos often enough anyway.
By the time I bought and gave away the last three tacos, I was so sick of tacos that it was months before I stopped at Taco Bell again for anything. I was begging the counter people to put beans in the taco shell because I couldn't stand one more bite of taco meat.
As an advertising gambit, it may have backfired on them a bit.
Even the yummiest meal can taste pretty awful if that's all you eat. A nutritious well balanced diet of the same food every day could become unbearable.
How about coming up with four or five nutritionally balanced meal days and cycle them? That's what they did at the diet place I went to once.
