The Deal: Flip Flops = Free Smoothie

Every year, Tropical Smoothie Cafe hosts a Flip Flop Day where guests who wear flip flops into the cafe are rewarded with a free smoothie. That’s right—just show up in flip flops, and you get to enjoy a cool, tropical smoothie on the house.

But what if you don’t own flip flops? That was the dilemma.

The Flip Flop Hunt

We didn’t have any flip flops lying around, so the first stop was a store run to grab some. After a quick search, we found a pair for just $6. Worth it? If you think about it, you’re either paying for the smoothie or scoring some new sandals—and honestly, it’s a win either way. Smoothie or sandal? Both!

Do Crocs Count?

Surprisingly, we learned on the spot that Crocs count as flip flops, at least at our local Tropical Smoothie Cafe. So if you already have Crocs or anything similar, you’re good to go!

Smoothie Success: We Got Six!

We rolled in deep—flip flops on, ready for action. The result? Six free smoothies! Each one was cold, fruity, and delicious—perfect for a hot day. Mango, pineapple, strawberry—you name it, they were tropical and satisfying.

Final Thoughts

Flip Flop Day at Tropical Smoothie Cafe is more than just a marketing gimmick—it’s a fun way to treat yourself and your family to a free, tasty smoothie with almost no effort. Whether you rock your go-to sandals or grab a cheap pair just for the occasion, it’s definitely worth checking out.

Pro Tip: Mark your calendar for Flip Flop Day next year and bring the whole crew. You’ll walk out with free drinks and great memories.
