Chain to offer free coffee -- if the weather's hot

J.P. Licks has declared Thursday [May 17] as its first free coffee day — the kickoff to a summer promotion that will dispense free iced coffee when the temperature rises above 81 degrees.

The seven-store Boston ice cream chain wants to highlight the coffee it imports from Guatemala and roasts at its Jamaica Plain headquarters.

In addition to a free cup of coffee on Thursday, customers will be issued a Free Iced Coffee Card that’s valid all summer for a free iced coffee when the mercury’s above 81.

Why 81 degrees? Because 1981 was J.P. Licks’ first year.

This sounds to me like you have to show up on Thursday and get that card in order to get coffee the whole summer...

I got the card... it's actually just a coupon for one free coffee, not coffee the whole summer. I feel misled. Ah well, it did seem too good to be true.

Dont worry! I was upset about that too, so I asked...each card is for one coffee, but you can get as many cards as you would like!
