Boing for you, boing for me...

Dude. I'm loving the new Starbucks doubleshot promo where the guy rides around near North Station on a Starbucks bike and hands out doubleshots from his bike basket. I'm wondering how effective it really is as a promotion though, because I'm getting at least one per day from this guy, so I'm not going to need to buy the stuff ever. But hey, free boing. Gotta love that.

Dunkin' Donuts, too
I noticed they had an urban-assault vehicle (um, a delivery truck tricked out in DD colors) patrolling Copley Square last Thursday and Friday, no doubt to keep those Seattle interlopers out of the homeland.
Cambridge, too
DD was handing out free iced lattes at the River Festival last Saturday. Starbucks did the same at the Passim 47th anniversary concert on the Cambridge Common last month.
But...
The doubleshot is a Pepsi product. I mean, yes, obviously affiliated with Starbucks as far as the naming, but Starbucks isn't the one hawking them.
