First, the big news: Taco Bell is bringing back Nacho Fries once again, beginning January 24. Their return will be for a limited time only—McRib-style, you might call it—but lovers of seasoned potatoes and cheese dip can rejoice in their resurrection, however temporary.

But not everyone will have to wait for the 24th. Tomorrow—"Fryday," as the person who wrote the press release and should definitely come write headlines for The Takeout put it—14 locations across the U.S. will give Nacho Fries away to random customers, just because they freakin' feel like it, like benevolent overlords, like merciful deities, like a guy who owns a pretty creepy candy factory that's a legitimately hazardous workplace but who also has some nice top hats and is played by Gene Wilder. (It's Willy Wonka. I'm talking about Willy Wonka.)

The bestowing of golden Nacho Fries will happen only between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. tomorrow (January 18) and only while supplies last. A list of participating locations can be found below.
