Do you harbor a secret desire to live inside a spy movie, but with nothing important at stake? Do you also like waffles? If so, it’s too bad that you weren’t one of the 1,000 fast-food influencers on the list to receive Taco Bell’s “breakfast phone.” It rings with secret, breakfast-related missions for the bearers to fulfill. The phone is not shaped like a waffle taco. You know, the waffle taco, that strange, messy, breakfast food that Taco Bell is inflicting on the nation even though its very taco essence is debatable.

Does the idea of a fast-food restaurant constantly sending you alerts throughout your day make you warm and fuzzy inside? Do you wish a national food chain would treat you like a secret spy and send you on missions? If you answered yes to these questions, then it’s a shame Taco Bell didn’t send a “Breakfast Phones” to you, because 1,000 lucky people recently got their chance. Identified as a Tracfone Samsung T404G, these handsets are nothing more than a pre-paid burner phone with a big Taco Bell ad on them. They send out texts and pre-recorded messages to phone recipients. These time-sensitive missions — which include prompts like “Tweet which Taco Bell breakfast item are you into?” and “Where would you rather have a new Taco Bell Waffle Taco a beach in sunny California or in NYC?” — can be completed for various prizes.
