First Day of Spring and Everything's Free

Well, maybe everything isn't free, but there are at least two free things we'll be sure to pick up today.

If you're not fortunate enough to live in Connecticut, Delaware, DC, Florida, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Virginia, or West Virginia than you've probably never had a Rita's Italian ice, the best Italian ice franchise we've ever tasted.

In celebration of spring, and the annual opening of their storefronts, every Rita's is offering a free regular Italian ice to each customer.

Click here (or the pic) to find your nearest Rita's and savor the flavor (the phrase "savor the flavor is trademarked by Cumberland Packing Corp. and is not in any way associated with Rita's Italian Ices).

If it isn't warm enough yet for you to down an Italian ice, don't worry. Rita's isn't the only franchise on the block who likes to celebrate the beginning of spring with free stuff.

is also offering one free 16 oz. iced coffee per person at each participating location. No substitutions, so don't go trying to get your regular coffee for free today. If the ice bothers you that much, just make sure you bring another cup and filter it out yourself.

Drag yourself out and get you some free stuff!
