Friday is the Third annual National Flip Flop Day: Be one of the first 500 people wearing flip-flops at a Tropical Smoothie Cafe, and receive a FREE 24oz Jetty Punch smoothie. Find a location near you.

Last year, I showed up in my flip flops expecting the usual free food chaos. Instead, I received my full-size smoothie and was on my way within about 60 seconds of arrival. Hopefully operations will be as streamlined again this year!

Also on Friday from 2pm-8pm, A&W restaurants will be be celebrating their 90th anniversary by giving away free root beer floats. Richmond locations (check with location to confirm participation):
