This may not be new as I've seen many people using it. Finally asked the staff when it wasn't too busy and found out it costs 50cents but you get a free drink on your birthday. So that's worth more than $4 for the most basic regular drink with no topping. If you get a large with multiple toppings, it's worth more than $6… you also get 10c for every dollar spend to redeem drink. So I think it's a good deal for 50c only.
