EAGAN, MN — Eagan's Potbelly Sandwich Shop location is celebrating National Oatmeal Cookie Day this Saturday by giving out a free oatmeal chocolate chip cookie-but there's a catch.

Potbelly said it believes that oatmeal chocolate chip cookies are far superior to those with raisins. To get your free cookie with your order of food, you must bring an oatmeal raisin cookie to show the Potbelly cashier, the company said.

"After flashing the inferior cookie, guests will receive a free Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie with the purchase of any Sandwich, Salad, Soup or Pick-Your-Pair," Potbelly said.

"Potbelly believes that raisins belong in cereals with the words 'high in fiber' on the box – NOT in your deliciously sweet cookie," the company said. "This National Oatmeal Cookie Day, Potbelly is here to make sure you don’t experience that dessert-y disappointment. Baked fresh, in-shop daily, Potbelly’s Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies give guests the best of both worlds. The delicious flavor of chocolate chips and oatmeal, guaranteed to be raisin free."
