Participate in -- and win -- "The Ultimate Coffeehouse Crossword Challenge," a Starbucks-sponsored puzzle in the New York Times. The first puzzle will appear Sunday, February 19 and will continue for six consecutive Sundays through March 26. (Starbucks PR)
That sounds like a curse!
I would be afraid of turning into a "Jared" -- a corporate mascot for life.
And reading the fine print of the contest, it all boils down to who calls an 800 number within a 5 min. span with the answer -- and if others call, you have to complete a tie-breaker puzzle that they call you about... blah blah. Very complicated.

OMG. I want to win this! Ha. I don't mind being Jared! But I am already behind! I went to like 9 St. Louis Starbucks and found that some don't even get the Sunday delivery! Shit!
Does anyone have today's insert? That they would love to be a kind stranger and send me????
Share the coffee love folks!

just go to your local starbucks and they can print it from the store e-mail. we had to do this at my store because some of the inserts were gone...good luck!

Ditto - I called my local starbucks and the manager printed out all of the puzzles for me!

I'm desperate to get puzzles #1 and #4. I sent in for them but I may have missed the postmark deadline. I'll try the local Starbucks tomorrow. Thanks for the idea.
