Look, I’m not saying free drinks are always pure magic. Sometimes, they’re a trap. Like when you get a free coffee and feel obligated to buy a $5 breakfast sandwich because “it’s just two more dollars.” Suddenly, you’ve spent more than you saved. Dunkin is a master of psychological warfare.
And then there’s the sugar crash. Free drinks often come with extra syrup or whipped cream because baristas are feeling generous. One sip of that “free” mocha and your blood sugar spikes like a rocket. You’ll be shaking by lunch. But hey, at least it was complimentary shaking.
