Savvy businesses are taking advantage of Election Day by dangling freebies for voters, from coffee to sex toys.

Ben & Jerry's is offering a free ice cream scoop at participating shops from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.

Breakfast is served: Starbucks is offering a free cup of joe to anyone who asks Tuesday. And Krispy Kreme is planning to give away about 200,000 star-shaped doughnuts to anyone who mentions the promotion at participating shops, the Associated Press reported.

For lunch, about 100 Chick-fil-A independently operated restaurants will be offering free chicken strips and sandwiches on Tuesday, the AP reported. California Taco, which operates shops in the Eastern U.S., is offering a free taco coupon to those with an "I Voted" sticker.

Chicago-based Eli's Cheesecake is giving voters a free slice of the dessert at the company's main store. Those who don't live in the Chicago area can get an election-related cheesecake deal online.

In New York, retailers are using Election Day to lure shoppers. Trina Turk fashion boutique is offering a 20 percent discount to those with "I Voted" stickers or a ballot stub; the French Connection store has a similar 15 percent discount offer.

Sex toy purveyor Babeland is offering a free vibrator to voters at its New York and Seattle retail shops while supplies last, the store reported.
