Free Cone Day
Don't forget -- today is Ben & Jerry's Free Cone Day!
(It's also my sister's 14th birthday. Happy Birthday, Marissa!)
Free Cone Day is an annual madhouse where fools line up around the block for a free scoop of B&J's famous ice cream. The company -- which started right here in Burlington and is now owned by multi-national Unilever -- pulls out all the stops to thank its customers for twenty-eight years of prosperity. The "Free Cone" tradition began in '79, the year before I was born. Imagine -- something sweet from VT that's older than me!
Personally, I'd rather just go to the scoop shop tomorrow and shell out $3 for a cone to avoid the zoo. But you? You should totally go.
If I went, I'd get Sweet Creme & Cookies, my new fave flavor. What would you pick?
Check out B&J's official site for more details and for a participating store near you!
Damn. I really sound like they are paying me to say this. But really? I'm just a proud Vermonter and a fat kid at heart, happy to sing praise for one of our state's finest dairy products.
Amen, Ice Cream God. Amen.
We only get a limit choice of B&J to choose from over here, but have to say that it would be Classic Cookie Dough, or Phish Food. Yum Yum! Feel like having an ice-cream now.

I had no idea, which is strange because I am such a whore for ice cream. Thank you for the heads up.

The only B&Js near me is on a college campus 10 miles away. Alas.. I will have to settle for a pint from the store. :)

Choc chip cookie dough.... I used to love double trouble (the chocolate cows were amazing) but they're stopped doing it now.....

It's hard for me not to pick Chunky Monkey, although I love the name 'Cherry Garcia'...
