Taco Bell's Super Bowl food campaign is described as menu item that is "not-yet-named," but themed for the national sporting event. Consumers can visit the brand's online site and pre-order the item that lacks images and any sort of description for $2.99. An accompanying ad will be released next week letting consumers know what the mystery dish is.
The use of hyping a product tied to major pop cultural events can allow a brand to turn a blind product into an enticing experience for consumers.
