Atlanta, Georgia.A PepsiCo program in Midtown Atlanta is providing a refreshing surprise: free Starry lemon-lime drinks, but only when the temperature reaches 100 degrees. This is in contrast to the intense heat that is scorching much of the South.
In honor of National Refreshment Day, the promotion started on July 24 and runs through July 31. During this time, a specially positioned Starry-branded vending machine in Colony Square will automatically give away free 20-ounce bottles of the drink to anyone in the vicinity anytime the official temperature in Atlanta reaches 100 degrees Fahrenheit or above.
Where and When to Grab a Free Soda
Near Building 300 and directly across from the concierge desk by Collier’s Candy, on The Plaza at Colony Square, is where you can find the vending machine. It functions as follows:
-
July 24 31
from
11 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Except
Wednesday, July 30

The promotion says there are no conditions. Simply arrive, and you’ll receive a complimentary bottle if the temperature reaches triple digits.
Additionally, PepsiCo placed billboards pointing people to Colony Square and advertising the 100 Degrees = 100% Off promotion around metro Atlanta.

Cool Deal Amid Record Heat
The timing of this promotion has resonated with locals as the South and a large portion of the United States are experiencing a heat wave. It is anticipated that foot traffic will be consistent at the Colony Square location (1197 Peachtree St., Atlanta, GA 30361), especially during the hottest hours of the day.
The campaign blends shrewd advertising with a sincere attempt to keep people hydrated during hazardous heat waves.
