Someone at Starbucks doesn't understand the internet.

Wait, is this the professional free iced coffee, or the amateur free iced coffee? I only drink the professional.

Oh man, I saw this on Digg and thought it was pretty hilarious. Then again the nearest Starbucks to here is 62 miles away.

That is beautiful. Who would have thought that email can be used for MORE than warning people of the danger of having your kidneys stolen?

To be fair, there's someone everywhere that doesn't understand the internet.
Nearest Starbucks: about 30 miles, lying in the grim shadow of a dread fortress.

Oooh oooh! Did you guys know they have internet for computers now?!?

And if you forward the internet to all your friends, a coupon for a free iced coffee will appear?!?!

You know, if I had received that email, I would have assumed it was a fake, like the Gap gift certificates and free money from Microsoft.

Very sadly, in this little corner of Essex, the nearest one is just three miles away. It's packed every time I go past it.

Almost everyone I've seen who received these assumed them to be fake, even after they were redeemed with various levels of success.

Well, then it becomes a question of whether Starbucks is redeeming them even if they're fake, really.
