Starbucks giving away ice cream

Seattle Starbucks Corp. is giving away 280,000 free pints of ice cream to Facebook users in the next two weeks as a part of National Ice Cream Month.

Through July 19, registered Facebook users can sign up for a coupon redeemable for a free pint of any flavor of Starbucks ice cream. According to the Web site, up to 20,000 free coupons for pints of Starbucks ice cream will be given away every day through July 19 and quantities are limited to just over 800 pints per hour.

Last year, Starbucks signed a licensing agreement with Unilever to have the British food giant manufacture, market and distribute Starbucks ice cream products.
