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.

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?

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!
