Free Carbs, Not-so-Free Coffee

Starbucks is touting their new, better-for-you pastries by letting you indulge for free tomorrow, Tuesday, July 21, until 10:30 a.m. The new muffins and scones will be free of artificial flavors, artificial dyes, artificial trans fats and high-fructose corn syrup. They call it "real food." Among the little batches of goodness included in the Tuesday special are pound cakes, morning buns, coffee cakes, cheese danishes, and other still not-quite-good-for-you delights. Oh, and you have to buy a beverage to get the free goods. (Not valid at Barnes & Noble locations.) Also, take this invitation in or show it to the barista via the fancy smart phone you usually just play with while waiting for your order.
