PSA: Free Food And Coffee

Does that stand for public service announcement or a punishing stomach attack? We don't know. Probably a little of both. Point is, there are two fast food giveaways today.

First, McDonalds is trying to drum up interest in its new Southern Style Chicken Sandwich, basically a copy of Chick Fil A's chicken sandwich: a fried fillet, buttered bun and pickle slices. They're giving these things out until 7 p.m. with the purchase of a medium or large drink. They were also giving out the breakfast version this morning — basically the same sandwich but on a biscuit — but it's too late for that.

Also today, Dunkin Donuts is giving out free iced coffees. From 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. you can get a free 16-oz. iced coffee at participating locations.

So now you know. Do with this information what you will.
