I know, I know. Summer’s coming up fast and you’re still trying to fit into that new swimsuit, but hey, free ice cream is free ice cream — always worth it. Plus a little splurge here and there helps to keep us away from that big splurge that really does damage.
Now, to the news — it is Ben & Jerry’s 31st annual Free Cone Day! Today from Noon to 8:00 p.m. all participating stores are giving away free scoops of ice cream. No need for a coupon either. Just show up and pick your favorite flavor. Very simple!
As a part of the day’s festivities, Ben & Jerry’s will also be releasing three new flavors. The first is Chocolate Macadamia. A part of their values-led flavor campaign, the Chocolate Macadamia features Fair Trade vanilla and chocolate as well as sustainably-harvested macadamia nuts. Then there’s also Elton John’s Goodbye Yellow Brickle Road (chocolate ice cream, peanut butter cookie dough, butter brickle and white chocolate chunks) and Orange & Cream (sorbet of orange with vanilla ice cream).
I’m thinking I’ll try out the Orange & Cream. What flavor are you planning to get? Let me know in the comments below.
Check for your local Ben & Jerry’s location here.
The Chocolate Macadamia sounds really good. Or maybe the Chocolate Fudge Brownie. Sooo good!
Heyy
Is this a Yearly thing or what cuz I’m lovin’ it eather way.
Someone please tell me.
The Ben & Jerry’s near me in Burbank CA charges $4.50 a scoop. It’s ICE CREAM, not gold. I resent being gouged to pay for their philanthropy. Getting B&J ice cream free is the ONLY way I’ll go into their store.
Cece, it’s a yearly thing. They’ve been doing it for 31 years now.
I had the Orange and Cream (it’s new in 2009, I think). Loved it!
