4/25/06 | Free Ben and Jerry’s Ice Cream
[ Currently Eating: McDonald's Spicy Chicken Sandwich ]
I completely goofed and forgot to post this yesterday. I wanted you to all get fair warning about picking up a FREE Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream Cone. Yep, it’s that time of year already.
They’re celebrating 28 years of making their ice cream. The shops should all be open from 12-8pm. I actually have never partaken in this yearly ritual, though I know there are quite a few people who do. It hasn’t been hot enough here lately to get ice cream, but then again I guess who needs a heat wave to enjoy some?
Make sure to check which Ben & Jerry’s stores are actually participating in this giveaway. There are definitely more than a few, say in California where I live, which aren’t giving it away. I looked and for the most part, it’s mostly those which are in amusement parks or baseball stadiums. Yeah, if they honored the giveaway in a stadium full of people they’d go bankrupt.
Price: Free Ice Cream Cone
At: Ben & Jerry’s

you tried the new-ish flavor, Black & Tan, yet? i finally got a pint of it this wkend… love it! the “guinness stout” flavor comes off as more malt than beery (i heart malt bigtime). it’s swirled w/ choc ice cream, w/ a very fudgesicle-y taste. DELISH. and while its 230 cals ain’t LOW, it’s better than the 300+ you usually get w/ superpremium ice cream. i know superpremium ain’t your bag and the free-cone day is, sniff, over. just thought i’d share my enthusiasm. love the black & tan!
