Holy McCarbs, Batman!
Tomorrow from 7 am to 2pm, McDonalds is giving away free McCafe coffee to customers.
Still, the jones coming on for the caffeine should be met with caution.
Even though the McCafe, coming in as a size small, sounds like a great value, it might be more than consumers bargained for in carbohydrates.
While the caffeine might wake America up, the following information should be the real eye opener. Ranging from 9 -41 carbs, it might be better to remember that free might end up costing more than droopy-eyed drinkers think.
