As you probably know, Chicago has submitted a bid to host the 2016 Olympic Games. The IOC is currently evaluating all the candidates, and will release the name of the winner in the next few days. To celebrate the event, Chicago-area Dunkin’ Donuts restaurants will be giving patrons FREE 14-oz. coffees all day long — regardless of the Olympic outcome. No purchase or coupon is necessary; limit one per customer.
Dunkin’ Donuts Field Marketing manager Kathy Nowicki said:
“Of course, we all hope to be celebrating the 2016 Summer Games coming to our city, but win or lose, the free 14-ounce coffee is Dunkin’ Donuts’ way of saying thank you to Chicago for all the support and hard work in showcasing our city.”
I am not that big a coffee drinker, but I think the brew at DD is pretty good. I just have to convince myself to use it to wash down my weight loss pills instead of a couple of donuts! I’m actually making a tiny bit of progress in the diet department, and am creeping down to my weight goal. The last thing I need is to be derailed by a free cup of coffee that turns into 1000 calories because of some accompanying donuts!
