Ben & Jerry's

Ben & Jerry’s Free Cone Day!

April 3, 2017 By Lisa Grigsby

Let’s face it. Holidays can be a whole lot of hype. The dressing up, cooking, shopping and party planning—it’s a lot of work! That’s why Ben & Jerry’s Free Cone Day is by far our favorite. What other holiday lets you show up to the party uninvited, wearing anything you want, and still gives you a gift? That’s right…no holiday ever. Use the following list to convince your boss or teacher that you need the day off to celebrate Ben & Jerry’s Free Cone Day 2017 on April 4.

Ben & Jerry's Free Cone Day - Everyone is invited.

Everyone is invited!

No guest list, no invite, no RSVP, just show up. We welcome everyone. Even your weird uncle.

Ben & Jerry's Free Cone Day - Shop until you drop.

Why shop ‘til you drop?

At Free Cone Day there’s no need to spend a dime, stress over what size someone wears, or wrestle with wrapping paper.

 

Wear whatever you want!

No black tie, ball gown or costume required, although we do suggest clothing of some kind.

Ben & Jerry's Free Cone Day - Leave the cooking to us

Leave the “cooking” to us.

Nothing (not even a root canal) is more painful than having to prepare a five course meal for a group of people who all want something different.

 

Smiles all around!

What’s not to love about a free cone of any flavor you want? Seriously! It puts a smile on everyone’s face (unlike that turtleneck you re-gifted that had the comfort of a cactus).

Ben & Jerry's Free Cone Day - Best Holiday Ever

No awkward family interactions.

We all love our families, but let’s face it…bring them ALL together under one roof for the first time in three years and you’re living on the edge!

 

You can put this holiday on repeat.

Why wait for next year’s Free Cone Day? Just get back in line for another free cone. Over and over again. We’re not counting. Really, go for it.

Ben & Jerry's Free Cone Day - We're scooping all day

Rain or shine, we’re scooping!

Not hail, nor sleet, nor snow, nor rain, nor…you get the idea. Rest assured, we’re scooping free Ben & Jerry’s no matter what!

 

No need to travel far.

Planes, trains and automobiles equal lost luggage, missed connections and flat tires. Lucky for you, there’s a solid chance you’ll find a Scoop Shop near you.

Ben & Jerry’s Cereal-Flavored Ice Cream

March 11, 2017 By Dayton Most Metro

They say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day and Ben & Jerry’s newest ice cream creations  are tapping into breakfast for inspiration.   The new lineup includes three flavors based on your favorite childhood breakfast cereals.  According to Ben & Jerry’s Flavor Guru:

“The sweet milk at the bottom of a cereal bowl is arguably the best part.

We wanted to take our flavor concepts and make people feel like a kid again, which is how we landed with our Cereal Splashback flavors.

There’s a flavor for every fan that will help bring them back to the prize-at-the-bottom-of-the-box days, watching Saturday-morning cartoons in pajamas.”

Here are the new 3 new Cereal Splashback, ice cream flavors available only at your local Scoop Shop.

Cocoa Loco

Chocolate cereal milk ice cream with a crisp chocolate cereal swirls.  Remember those special mornings when Mom let you have chocolate cereal instead of the regular kind? This is all of those magical mornings, churned into an ice cream flavor. All you need is your favorite cartoons.

Frozen Flakes

Cereal milk ice cream with crisp cereal swirls.  Get out your footie pajamas, because this is a cereal-ous blast from the past. Just add your favorite bowl, a big spoon, and settle into the comfiest spot on the couch.

Fruit Loot

Cereal milk ice cream with a crisp fruity cereal swirls.  It’s like if cereal, Saturday-morning cartoons, and superhero pajamas were an ice cream flavor. Everything but the prize at the bottom of the box (which you’d have to fight your sister for, anyway).

Ben & Jerry’s 35th Anniversary Means Free Cones!

April 8, 2014 By Lisa Grigsby Leave a Comment

Fullscreen-capture-532014-22654-PMThirty five years ago today Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield celebrated surviving their very first year of running their business. To thank those that supported their little ice cream store, Ben & Jerry’s, they decided to give everyone a free cone.  And on every April 8th since then they’ve continued that tradition. The event grows larger every year and this year there are 26 countries taking part with over 700 scoop shops serving free ice cream and frozen yogurt (for those wanting a few less calories) from all participating stores.

Fans can choose any flavor they’d like, but they’ll also be able to try Ben & Jerry’s newest flavors, which include:

  • Salted Caramel Blondie: Sweet cream ice cream with blonde brownies and a salted caramel swirl
  • Hazed and Confused: Hazelnut and chocolate ice creams with fudge chips and a hazelnut fudge swirl
  • Cotton Candy: Cotton candy ice cream loaded with cotton candy piece

For me it will be a touch decision between Phish Food (chocolate ice cream with marshmallow, caramel and fudge bits) or Chocolate Peppermint Crunch (Chocolate Ice Cream with Peppermint and Fudge Swirls and Mint Chocolate Cookie Balls) or if I’m trying to be good Chocolate Fudge Brownie (Low Fat Frozen Chocolate Yogurt with Fudge Brownies).

No matter what flavor you pick- the best part is it will be free from noon to 8pm at the ice cream parlor located at 1934 Brown Street. And be warned-  for some silly reason, the Ben & Jerry’s at The Greene never seems to participate in this promotion.
