September 29th might just be the best day ever. Well, if you’re reading this then you might get what I’m saying. How could you not love this day? Do you anxiously flip through the wall calendar and mark the days off waiting all year till today? Of course you do! You’re just like me!

Wait, what’s a wall calendar?

You see, before there was all this moment-by-moment constant interaction with the internet/world/peers/strangers/animals/celebrities, before everything became this instagoogletweetface, there were wall calendars. And wristwatches, but that’s for another day. This calendar would hang on your wall, generally in the kitchen, and would display the month in its entirety. You would pre-select a series of images, and one would be displayed on the top half of the calendar, a different image per month.

Where was I? Oh yes, the best day of the year. There are all kinds of promotions for today and today only.

I SAID: Free Coffee!

  • Dunkin Donuts hijacks and renames today
  • Starbucks: you can get a grande or bigger beverage for free loaded to your account.
  • Krispy Kreme: now that’s the stuff. You can walk right in off the street and getcherself a coffee. No questions asked. But are you gonna walk out the door without a dozen glazed? Of course you won’t. Don’t be silly.
  • 7-11: if you have the app, you can get any size coffee for $1.
  • Circle K: if you have the app, you have eligibility for a free coffee.

So get on out there and get caffeinated because today only lasts so long.
