At first, it came as a surprise, why a cafe brand would send me a promotional complimentary drink, considering I rarely patronize their beverages, and seldom even hang-out at their branches. I am partial to the green-and-white brand, whose logo is so ubiquitously gay – the mermaid.

But, as I am a cheapskate and a sucker for all sorts of swag and freebies, I decided to heed the invitation to peruse their website, where the promise of a free beverage had my mouth salivating in anticipation. Of course, all manners of promotional campaigns come with a fine print, and I was waiting for the catch all along.
