Del Taco’s AllNightLongBaby.com Database Fun!

I was cruising around Del Taco’s website, scouring up and down for coupons other than Free Macho Drink or Big Fat Breakfast taco (Buy 1 get 1 Free) I found a small exploit in their admin tool, you can’t write to the database but you have read access:
http://shared.sprokkit.com/admin/?task=display&object_type=slist&object_id=252 (here’s a backup link in case Del Taco or Sprokkit catches this error after appearing on Dig

Del Taco has a minisite to promote their “All Night / 24 hour a day / It’s 3am, I’m drunk and need to sober up” Fast Mex grub (allnightlongbaby.com/). where users submit how they define the difference between a “late night” and “all night”. These are their responses with the approved AND rejected submissions.

Samples:

Brought to you by someone with a love for Del Taco who went on a hunt only for Del Taco Coupons but found much more. Cheers!

UPDATE: Del Taco’s director of marketing just sent me an email, the jig is up, but they were very kind about the whole thing. Thanks for having a sense of humor!
