What's the best way to celebrate the first day of summer? Going to the beach? Buying an air conditioner? Crying because you hate summer and can't wait til September rolls around?

I'm in the latter category, but you might want to head on over to Caribou Coffee for a free Northern Lite to celebrate the first day of summer. You can get it today at all locations nationwide between 2 and 3pm.

I'm not sure what a Northern Lite Cooler is (I don't think I've ever been to a Caribou Coffee) and I'm not sure what size drink you get, but there are worse ways to spend your afternoon today.

[thanks to Amy for the tip]

I worked at a Caribou Coffee for four years throughout highschool and some of college. This was the worst day of the year, hands down. Making these things for free for tons and tons of cheap people was just utterly painful.

Good God, it's only for an hour. It couldn't have been THAT bad. All day I would sympathize. Maybe it used to be and now it's only an hour.

I see. Understandable. Unbelievable what people will do for anything free. I recall years ago Burger King gave away a free small french fries for one day to promote their new "formula." As I drove by the location near home after work, the drive thru line was wrapped at least twice around the entire building!! Why would you wait any amount of time for a free small bag of fries?

I stopped in at my local Caribou for the free drink. No line, no waiting and the staff was smiling. However, I live in a little town in northern MN.

I stopped by my local caribou this afternoon. Is it a bad thing that they know me by name? (My Stitch n' Bitch group meets there every week . . .)

Anyway, there was no waiting, the place was busy but no line. Everyone seemed happy and was very nice. I liked my free coffee/slushy/milk shake drink.

Thank you Caribou!
