It was actually the Swagbucks birthday freebie that got me back to using Swagbucks a while ago. I'll be honest, the lure of Google wins out most times, but I couldn't pass up the free points then I realized I almost had enough points for a prize, so I kept using it. So that's your lesson, companies. Give me more prizes.

I like how the sandwich in the Dickey's Barbecue Pit birthday freebie email is wearing a hat. Nothing like a classy lunch for your birthday.

I don't know how they make the delicious El Chico birthday freebie, but my initial guess is magic with my followup being sorcery.

*Insert obligatory “please don't print the image above” note here.*

*NERD ALERT* This Zoe's Kitchen birthday freebie reminded me that it's been a while since I've rewatched Firefly. Looks like I know what I'm doing tonight!

After I publish this Ninety Nine birthday freebie post, I'll only have seven more to go. SEVEN! I never thought it'd end and yet look at me now! *begins playing cheesy 80's movie montage of writing all these posts in his head*

Remember, we have a full list of birthday freebies! And for the love of everything holy, don't print out the image above. It's to show this offer is what I say it is. Signup at the link above and you'll get a coupon emailed near your birthday.

Try saying the Taco Bueno birthday freebie “cheesecake chimichangas” ten times fast. No, seriously, it's fun and will hopefully make you overlook the fact that I didn't include a joke here.

I'm not sure which I want more. The actual LongHorn Steakhouse birthday freebie of a free dessert, like that caramel apple gold rush. Or that freaking steak filet!

This is how I picture the Black Bear Diner birthday freebie.

Goob enters diner and sits at nearby table as the server approaches.
Server: What can I get you today?
Goob: I'll have waffles and coffee. Oh, it's my birthday too!
Server: *eyes narrow* …is that so?
Server snaps his fingers three times then walks away briskly.
Goob: Uh…
The entire diner empties in a panic as Goob remains seated, dumbfounded.
Goob: So, am I gonna get my food?
The front door explodes into a shower of glass as a black bear enters.
Bear: RWAAAAAAAR!
Goob: AHHHHHHHH!

Unfortunately, it's just a silly dessert. Scratch that, since originally publishing this freebie in 2011, they've upgraded the birthday offer to a full free breakfast meal!

I'm in one of those moods when my first reaction to this Beef ‘O' Brady's birthday freebie is “man, they have way too many apostrophes in their name.”
