Thanks to the O.C. Register's Fast Food Maven for spreading the word on this freebie:
According to the Maven, McDonald's is offering up its new Iced Coffee -- well, 8 oz. versions, at least -- for free through Sunday. The flavors include hazelnut, vanilla, caramel, sugar-free vanilla and regular. Not sure which McDonald's are participating, but the blog believes that most in Southern California are game.
I love free stuff, but I'm also annoyed with McDonald's obnoxious radio ads. In the spots, a group of women decide to take a coffee break at McDonald's. They marvel at their purchase, noting that they could actually pronounce what they were ordering -- and didn't have to drink their beverages with their noses in the air. OK, I get it -- a dig at the supposed upper-class elitism of coffee chains like Starbucks. But puhleeze. Starbucks long ago became mainstream; you can even find packed locations in small, middle America towns. Is ordering a latte really still considered something only snobby elitists order?!
