11 Caribous in 1 Day
I blame my sister. It was her idea. She called me Sunday morning to wake me up and wish me a happy birthday. It’s our thing, we always call each other early on our birthdays and wake each other up. I wasn’t fully awake, and as the saying goes, it seemed like a good idea at the time…
I printed out a few “Free Drink on Your Birthday” emails from Caribou and set off. I managed to stop at eleven Caribou Coffee shops between my house and my Aunt and Uncle’s house (they took me to lunch for my birthday).
Here’s the count: two regular Lattes, one Hazel Latte, a Dark Roast, a Fal La Latte, Two Cinnamon Wilds, a Macciato, an Americano, a Vanilla Latte and a Decaf Coffee. Don’t worry, I didn’t come to my senses at the end, the Vanilla and the decaf were for my aunt Margie and uncle Jim. One of the Cinnamon Wilds and a regular latte were for my friend Karen, I stopped to see her on the way.
I’m not sure what’s more disturbing, what I did or that there are 11 Caribous relatively between Uptown and Minnetonka.
I was going to try and do more, but I came to my senses over lunch. Good thing, it’s Tuesday now, my headache is finally gone and I’m using complete sentences again.
Oh yeah, one more thing, if I called you Sunday or yesterday, I’m sorry. I’ve finally come down, so it’s safe to approach me now.


















Happy Belated Birthday! What a journey!! And you hit up all 11 before noon? Crazy and brave all in one stroke! Cheers to a wonderful year!

Wow. That sounds like good fun, deadly, but fun.
Ah that sounds like such fun! Caribou is my favorite – I might try this on my birthday!
That’s an impressive feat. Now that you’ve recovered, are you considering doing it again next year?
