Free Ice Coffee Today -Tell Every Homeless Person You See to go to Dunkin Donuts
Probably not the word of mouth press that Dunkin Donuts wants to achieve by this promotion-but spread the word today of the free ice coffee they are giving out to every homeless person you see.
P.S. These guys saw me taking a picture and asked to be in it!
