Taco Bell is an American international fast-food chain. For the holiday season in 1997, the company ran a Nintendo 64-themed promotion that included selling Nintendo toys and a promotion titled "Score 64" to potentially win various prizes including a Nintendo 64, money, or a Porsche Boxster. The child's meal was packaged in a Nintendo-themed box, designed similarly to the Happy Meal, and would have included a toy. The said toy could be purchased on its own separately for $0.99 USD, packaged discretely in a green box. This set of toys was called the "Nintendo Holiday Gifts."[1]
The promotion came about after a $10 million Banjo-Kazooie-themed promotion fell through, due to a delay in the game.[2]
