Hello!
We had a much needed rain this week. It finally feels like fall is hanging in the air.
I’ve also officially decided that I dislike the commercially available “autumn” flavors. Pumpkin spice, pecan crunch, caramel apple pie… they all tastes a bit weird as a syrupy drink. So I came up with a better drink option for you, Chew reader. Exciting announcement coming up…!
look at me as i say this
Also, don’t forget that we’re still in the race to see who can bring the most amount of friends to the Chew.
Right below this, you will find a referral link uniquely made for you. Copy that link and email to your friends. If they sign up, you get a point.
The person with most points on Halloween will get a $100! (which in today’s economy, feels like $5, but still.)
Let’s get into it.
Like The Chew?! Refer your friends for a good time.
