Just in time for hot weather, Starbucks is bringing back its "Frappuccino Happy Hour."

Starting Friday, May 4, through May 13, you can purchase one of the blended iced beverages for half price.

Happy hour lasts from 3 to 5 p.m. at particpating Starbucks.

And just so you know, Starbucks has added a new Frapppuccino -- the Mocha Cookie Crumble -- a blend of mocha sauce, frappuccino chips, coffee, milk and ice and topped with whipped cream and chocolate cookie crumbles.

You've only got a few hours left to enter my Blue Bell ice cream giveaway.

I've got coupons for five free half-gallons of Blue Bell to give away to five blog readers in honor of its March 19 debut in the Triangle.

Tell me your favorite flavor of ice cream and you'll be entered to win. If you've ever tasted Blue Bell, I'd love to hear about that, too.

Do NOT leave your comment on this post. Leave it on the original post here.

I'll pick the winners at random Friday morning and announce them on the blog.

And if you don't happen to win one of my free half-gallons, don't despair. My colleague Andea Weigl, who writes our food blog Mouthful, will be giving away five more half-gallons in the coming weeks.

Dairy Queen is saying thank you to its customers on Saturday with a "one-half off everything" sale.

That means 50 percent off Blizzards, 50 percent off Dilly Bars, 50 percent off anything on the menu.
