Nov 3, 2008 at 1:20 PM So, let's have a round-up of the free food for voters.
There's free scoops of ice cream from Ben & Jerry's...
Free star-shaped doughnuts from Krisy Kreme...
And free cups of coffee from Starbucks...
Btw, I love the commercial, Starbucks. Very effective. (And I love the song.)
What am I missing? Did anyone hear about anything else?

As a food blogger, been seeing lots on the freebies and think you got 'em all.
I just wish there were more Krispy Kreme locations. Those star donuts look patriotically yummy...
My mind went porno when I read your typo:
Free star-shaped doughnuts from Krisy Kreme.
I pictures a thousand ways to use star shaped doughnuts.
From MSNBC:
"Just when you thought it was safe to focus on the issues in this historic election season, a chain of sex toy shops has joined retailers, restaurateurs and other businesses across the nation in the time-honored tradition of rewarding Americans who go to the polls.
Babeland, with stores in New York, Los Angeles and Seattle, is offering a pair of self-gratifying incentives for voters who present their registration cards, ballot stubs or “word of honor” that they voted next Tuesday."
Oh, here is the rest--ooops!
The rewards are no-so-subtle reminders of this year’s campaign rhetoric. For men, it’s the “Maverick,” a "sleeve" for self-pleasuring. According to a press release, “He’s always there to lend a hand, he works for every man, and he bucks the status quo.” Women can choose the “Silver Bullet” mini-vibrator, which is “a magical solution to difficult problems” and “a great stress-reliever during these troubled economic times!” The promotion lasts through Nov. 11.
Babeland spokeswoman Pamela Doan told msnbc.com in an interview that the promotion is a first for the company, which she describes as “a sex-positive, women-friendly retailer for sex toys and accessories.”
Although the company is relying on press releases and bloggers to get the word out, “We’re expecting a good response,” Doan said. “Both of these toys are very popular. The Maverick retails for $20 and the Silver Bullet retails for $15. It’s a good reward.”
I don't care if it's 10 pm but I will get a free coffee from Starbucks. Ben and Jerry's is kinda of far. Krispy Kreme is less than 10 minutes away and I absolutely love them, but still not enough for me to jump off the diet wagon.
