The giveaway is national, but the brand is local.
In celebration of National Ice Cream Month, Seattle-based Starbucks is giving away about 800 pints of ice cream each hour on Facebook. There will be 20,000 winners per day, and by the July 19 finish (that's National Ice Cream Day, incidentally), Starbucks will have doled out 280,000 free pints of the frozen treat. Should you be lucky enough to win, you can redeem your coupon at a grocery store for a choice of these caffeinated flavors: caramel macchiato, mocha frappuccino, java chip frappuccino and coffee.
