Free smoothies at shop today in honor of National Flip-Flop Day
This is something to flip about.
Tropical Smoothie Cafe locations are offering free smoothies to flip-flop wearing patrons today, June 19, in honor of its third annual National Flip-Flop Day celebration.
Area Tropical Smoothie locations are participating in the effort.
The first 500 folks in flip-flops at each location will receive a free 24 oz. Jetty Punch Smoothie.
Tropical Smoothie’s National Flip Flop Day festivities are partly a fundraiser for Camp Sunshine, a retreat for children with life-threatening illnesses and their families.
Customers can support Camp Sunshine by purchasing $1 paper flip flops.

TweetTeen: I wanted three star tattoos on my face, not 56
Typically customers are happy when a business gives them something extra.
Not 18-year-old Kimberley Vlaeminck.
The Belgian teenager is suing Romanian tattoo artist Rouslan Toumaniantz, claiming he put 53 extra star tattoos on her face after she fell asleep.
Talk about being ungrateful. Kids these days.
Vlaeminck claims she went into Toumaniantz’s shop for three tattoos and ended up with 56.
“I closed my eyes and didn’t feel any pain,” Vlaeminck said in a Sky News segment aired by FOX News. “I fell asleep and was woken up from the pain on my nose when he was busy applying a big star.”
Vlaeminck is seeking 10,000 Euro (about $13,931 in U.S. currency) to have the constellations removed.
You can almost make out the Big Dipper.
Toumaniantz of course has a different version of the story.
He claims Vlaeminck was all for the stars, adding that he has a witness to prove it.
Trouble came when Vlaeminck’s angry father showed up.
“From that moment it was bad for her,” he says in the video. ” Before she was just doing what she wanted to do.”
But not wanting an unhappy customer, Toumaniantz has agreed to split the cost to have Vlaeminck’s tats removed, the New York Daily News reports.
