Free Coffee Today at Starbucks

2006_03_starbucks.jpgThought that might perk you up a little bit.

Between 10am and noon today to go Starbucks for a free 12-ounce cup of coffee. This promo is available at 7,500 Starbucks stores nationwide and if there isn't a Starbucks by you, employees will be taking coffee around in "Venti Vans" and insulated coffee backpacks. Free coffee for everyone!

Incidentally, this is part of some made up National Coffee Break holiday that no one knew about... and just happens to be a week after McDonald's rolled out its new high-end coffee.
