Free Starbucks Ice Cream Treats for Facebook Users

— July 12, 2009 — Lifestyle
Using the Facebook 'Share a Pint of New Starbucks Ice Cream' application, US users can send a coupon for a free pint of ice cream to a friend. As many as 20,000 free coupons for pints of the new Starbucks Ice Cream will be given away until July 19, 2009.

The ice cream is inspired by Starbucks beverage flavors: caramel macchiato, mocha frappuccino, java chip frappuccino and coffee. Just reading their names could have people salivating!

Implications - Users will have to act quickly on Facebook because only a certain amount of coupons will be given out every hour. If you are lucky enough to get a coupon you can even send it to someone who doesn't have a Facebook account or just treat yourself.
