Last year’s Dunkin’ Donuts Free Iced Coffee Day was — shock — a success.

So they’re doing it again. This year’s giveaway is from 10 a.m.-10 p.m. at participating stores Thursday (Which are many. Seriously, i got a list and it’s stores all over Baltimore, Towson, Owings Mills and elsewhere). Thirsty— and perhaps tired — patrons will get a free 16-ounce (small) iced coffee.

The whole day is celebrating Dunkin’ donating $5,000 to the Baltimore County Police Athletic League.
