I did the Via challenge (my Starbucks started it early). They made me drink a small cup of the Via instant coffee (aka shoved a sample at me while I was in line) and chatted me up about it for like 5 minutes. If you're nice enough to the poor employee forced to administer the taste test, they'll give you two free packets of the Via coffee. It's OK tasting. Really strong...so use more than 8oz of water lol.

shucks... they didnt give me one... i dont understand... they give me a fre sample in the small cup thing... and nothing,.,,,, arghgafgvlab;oihdpna i need my coffee.... and honest to god i deserve it....

One of the local stores started it yesterday and I got to taste it today. I thought it was good and really close to brewed. I will use the free coffee coupon that was given to me to use there.

If you go to http://www.you-deserve-one.com/home#/home you can nominate a friend to receive a coupon for Starbucks Frappuccino and you can print one for yourself. You can submit as many friends as you want.

The reverse Grandpa Simpson was a knee slapper!!!

The reverse grandpa Simpson!!! haha that's awesome

For future reference, McDonald's considers the next visit to be at least 2 hours after the original visit. I worked there, and we would have people trying to use several coupons by walking out and going through the drive thru or just walking back in. There's supposed to be 2 hours between visits. Just a friendly heads up in case anyone ever tells you that. Then again, not all McD's employees know that. Not sure what Starbucks policy is.
